Who says signature links are worthless..!!

yee i agree with u..
you can get backlink if u active in forum and posting in sticky thread

 

why do you say threads that are stickied are better?
I don't see how they would be much different than another other new thread

 

When it's about HUMAN traffic, stickies are actually worse. When you want something you wish your memberbase to ignore, just make it a sticky thread

When it comes to PR though, stickies can take the cake so to speak, but again... humans tend to skip the stickie (unless you are the sticky creator) and even bots don't generally bother with page 5 of a sticky and PR rarely migrates that far down the list...

So NEW threads are better for indexing, though ANY thread is potentially worth it for indexing alone!

 

i dont think signature link at forum is of any importance. Thats the reason I have kept a beautiful quote as my signature.

 

And it's people like you that increase the value of my signature!

Seriously, thank you!

 

I don't think that sig links are worthless. But in my opinion sig links are more effective for your site if you get links from a relevant site.

 

Sig links are not worthless , but it depends on which forum you are posting. By giving a nice and attractive signature text always brings some attention to the people and thus they like to see it

 

I have put some links now in signature, will keep you all posted if its working.

 

you don't have any links here at DP?

 

Well in terms of SEO, many links from a single site are not that high rated...

 

But whats the use when there are so many outbound links on a forum page?

 

this is true, more then 20 external links and you're link will be diluted
but it's better then nothing

 

If a member is really active in a forum, his signature links are bound to get good visibility and it truly becomes a very good means for advertising & promotion.

sig link are not worthless, i got very good approved link from forum sign.

 

Do you think it helps to make your sig links contrasting colors?
Like using red color for the text link
It may just annoy those who may be checking out your sig space

 

Personally, I like them to look as natural as possible. If it looks like it's selling something, I'm generally not buying. Its really the same reason I've never bothered buying ANYTHING off of the standard "landing page" they all seem like cheap infomercials *shrug*

I want it to be like some guy going "hey you, yeah, you in the hat... I just got this over on that page, and liked it. Try it!" and not like BUY THIS AND SAVE!

 

if post a signature with no relevant forum, it helpful to SERP? please advice

 

Sig links are useful links

 

Thanks, I too don't believe signature links are worthless. For me, a link is a link. It is never a useless one.

 

Sig. links are the best.
