    Hi

    Does having hyperlinks on signature on this forum help towards SEO backlinks or is it nofollow..?

    Cheers
    Rob

    Backlinks in forum sigs do little if anything for your site from an SEO perspective. I'm sure Google has stumbled across DP many times when manually reviewing various sites because of Spam Reports. I'm sure they are fully aware of the policy here that allows followed links in posts and sigs. My guess is if they actually count, they are highly devalued.

    If you're here it should be to learn and share IMO.

    I have no idea. Anyone interested in making an experiment? Create a page and use DP only for backlinks.

    I can hardly imagine that they really add any sort of value, but no penalty are invoked - so what the heck.

    It also doesn't hurt to add to number of backlinks, which is an interesting indicator when selling or buying domains. Would you buy a PR 3 domain with like 10 backlinks?

    can anyone do some javascripting, on simple event handling functions?

    Of course they are do follow and may be valuable from SEO point of view.

    It doesn't help "a lot" but it does help, at least getting indexed anyway. I don't see a good reason not to have them in there. They certainly don't hurt.
