thanks for the greens i'm also waiting the pr update. i will share the effect of the signature to the pr. after the pr update , i will be able to write with pr numbers
Basicly, no one knows exactly how much they are worth, but whatever it is, it isn't much, but it's a nice benefit of posting.
I thought 200 comments on a pr1 blog post should be enough. But it means now I need to find 200 pr1 threads or blog posts without no follow. Then it is better to get links from various sources in a reasonable way. Also, I have another doubt. When do more and more blog posts per day and submit them to digg which will give visibility to the search engine and one link from a pr5 page, do my main blog URL get any PR credit because of these digg submissions? I mean I get only one back link from the digg for any given blog post.
When you digg your own articles you have to be VERY careful of you'll get banned for spamming. It's better to swap diggs with others, but even that has it's dangers. The key to both blog comments and form thread replies is traffic more then backlinks. If you can get a link off in a popular forum or blog then that means that MANY people will see it. Though your individual CTR of that link may vary. With age that post/reply may gain PR and a [very] slow trickle of traffic. Aside from traffic it can give product recognition (like a mini-commercial) which could theoretically stick in the back of the mind of the various readers. Most posts/comments are also permanent links, which again age can play a factor (both for good & bad). So chances are a sig link wont effect your PR all that much, but it most certainly can effect your traffic...and if that traffic finds your link worthy they may take it upon themselves to link it elsewhere. Personally I've linked to several things I've found in sigs, but never once have I bothered to link to anything I've ever found in an actual ad....for that matter, I tend to click on sigs and completely ignore the banners and text ads on a forum...I think many are like me. Q
Well said. My sites have nothing to do with web design but I came here to learn, and in the mean time why not just use signatures
That's not always true I had a site with no links just content and I received a pr3. Sometimes google bases your pr on content I swear. I don't think you can get over a pr3 with no links though.
They sure do, they help improve your sites authority more then anything. I wouldn't count on getting high pr links from it coz that is rare. But a few forums do allow that. If you want to get a site ranked fast your DP Sig is probably the fastest way I know of!
sig, are counting as any others, google counts all the incoming links to your site, the indexed ones I mean. It is easy to get any link - I saw such an opinion. And google don't counts them - don't counts them my a**.
signature links surely help in increasing your page rank. The search spiders consider these links too.
they have their own use...it help you for your link popularity and if you use your targeted keywords you might rank better for such keyword...
I have site that is mainly linked from my forum profile and it is pr2 now and expecting pr3 on this update , signature links really helps a lot.
Let me rephrase what I said, they can help you get pagerank, small page rank. But if you want to get pr5 pr6 or pr7 your going to have to spend some money!
so darn much to learn. I used to think i was smart.... the more i read the more i learn it just ain't so!
I agree that signatures give people access to your website which generates traffic, which in effect increases your sites value in the eyes of Google, which translates to higher PR and higher rankings.
