I have two spare places in my sig for links, so if I add links to my site (same site for all the links) usign diffrent anchor text, will google penalize me for this? Is there any risk at all, if there is im not going to bother adding my link Im also part of many other forums which allow more than one link and so I want to add my links to these sites too. Thanks
what about just to the homepage, or will linking to deeper pages increase page rank more for the main page
Why do you want 4 siglinks pointing into your homepage? You can do this: siglink 1 - yoursite.com siglink 2 - yoursite.com/anything.html siglink 3 - yoursite.com/anothetstuff.html siglink 4 - yoursite.com/andanotherone.html This will help to get your site indexed... at least.
Google will just count the first link and ignore the second, whatever shows up to the bot first, so better doing one to a sub page on your site. It's pointless linking to the same page twice.
Google will not penalized you, but if you use the same URL with different anchor text, it will reduce the weight of the links.
Linking to subpages will give you the benefit you are looking for. Dont use the same link text however...
it doesnt help much linking the same signature over and over again... point them to different subpages.... it is not penalizing problem but the better way is pointing them to subpages...
