I'm new to seo so if i participate in forums like this other than my niche[gadgetsgrid.com] do that signature counts as a backlink. If this counts as a backlink is it worth it. Also do more quality threads means more backlinks.
Yes they count but not very much. Forget them for anything other than generating interested traffic, and concentrate on building more solid backlinks.
the backlinks count but probably not worth a whole lot in terms of seo. better for traffic if you post on forums that have a niche similar to yours.
Forum signatures do count if the links are dofollow. Same backlink rules applies for forum sig links. e.g. having links from related pages etc.
Yes, forum signatures do count if they are dofollow. Find a high ranking site for example in the area of video games or arcade games (these are the industries, not the keywords) and you will find some sites that rank very well and have mostly forum signature links.
Signature do count if they are do-follow. But links from niches related are better. But it does not mean non-related links are useless. They still count towards backlinks. Quality thread will have following attributes -Cached by Google -Relevant to the forum/Category -Have a PR -less outbound links
According to an article I read before, backlinks coming from forums are negetive ranking factor. Im not sure about it, Im still studying it.
They do count...I made a site a few weeks ago and only posted the link in my signature and haven't done any other promotion.after a few days my site was indexed and got about 50 visitors from google.
They are good for generating traffic if your site is within a similar niche to the site you are posting on, if your site is new and the forum your posting on has new traffic it is also great for generating some initial interest and for helps google index your site for the 1st time.
Yes, having link in your sig. do help. But this doesn't mean that you only concentrate on this strategy. Good luck.
If u post in a do follow forum like Dp, then it will bw counted as backlinks. But, if in the forums are the no follow ones, like site point, then sorry, they won't be counted as backlinks at all!
I think the solid backlinks just means the links from the relevant hign PR sites, and better if that links are the anchor text one way backlink.
Yes they count but you must have to check they are do follow if they are no follow then it has different behavior
