Anchored link inside a sentence VS standalone anchored link

    I've been doing some forum posting to get backlinks and it has been going pretty well so far. I've been inserting the link inside a sentence most of the time but now I hired somebody to do the backlink work and they are using the anchored link as a signature or insert it just after the sentence. Does anybody know if that will impact the quality of the backlinks? If there are too many of those kind of backlinks, will they be recognized as spam?

    Thanks,
    Spanic

    Forum links are better for general traffic than for link juice. However, given a choice like that, I'd go with the link in a well-constructed sentence. Especially in a long, contextual article.

    Anchor text in the text itself is much better then stand alone anchor text. it looks much more natural to the search engines.

    Most of the time, I get backlinks through forum signatures. I rarely drop links within my post.
