hi every one.... i recently checked my number of backlinks i shows number of links in the same forum so my question is does google counts my back links with in a single forums or it consider my back link as "1" even if i have lots of my links within that forum.
i mean ...wether my signatures in each of my post in this forum ll be counted as seperate backlink or it ll be consider as a single back link for the google while calculating pagerank>>????
Yes, backlinks from a webpage will be counted as a backlink. So, If you get 50 backlinks from 50 webpages of a website, those are counted as 50 backlinks. Also, Yes, your signature is also will be counted as backlink, Actually that will help a lot in PR, if you are participating in your niche related forums as well as if you are participating on OFF NICHE or ON NICHE related forums your signature links will be useful to get more SERP on google.
It's not totally clear cut. It's different for pr and position. If you have 20 links on one page, that's good for pr, as you have a higher percentage of the juice leaving the page, but not good for position, as the page either gives you it's trust (links to you) or doesn't. The amount doesn't matter. Having links on different pages on the same domain will help as the links are technically from different url's, but they won't be as valuable for ranking as equal strength links from different domains.
i think it depend also from the PR of the thread. if the thread has high pr then its a great backlink
It is really a tough question to answer because some times you can see more than one link from same forum sites and sometimes not. i also have notice this when i have checked back links of my own site.
Link is a link. DP signature forum link is a dofollow backlink. So, if you have posted 20k posts on DP, it will give you 20k backlinks. But, the value/weight of this backlink is not as strong as getting another backlink from totally new domain. The value of backlink is better if the new domain is from unique IP (different IP from all your current backlink's IP). Although, it is not easy to check IP for each site or backlink, it is good if you could get backlinks from multiple domains instead of one domain.
