yes this is right i noticed one thing that 90% of signature links we are using in digital point are NO Follow.....What is your observation??????
Yes, you can read the thread below to know the reason http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2221026
You do not need it ^^ it just has 4 PR and the real backlinks for it in google is just 152 ^^ you can find a lot of better websites to improve your site that is just an opinion ^^
i luv dp bl for the reason to help my new sites pages and or posts get faster indexing, now bots don't follow it no more. but i still luv dp for the community. cheers! @sitedevelopment: just 152 bls? you'll never know unless you can see the real data in the google webmasters tool lol. i found your post amusing
^^ yea I know .. but I lock here at first link:digitalpoint.com in Google ^^ Then tell me ! Can you believe that Digital Point despite the fact that its a large site .. its got just 4 PR this site has a lot of errors prevent its to get Higher PR ^^ and I can get it just in 1 year ... )) just by myself ... never need to any members ^^
I am surprised that we still count the benefit of backlinks based on PR...... There are host of other reasons to get backlinks: Age of domain Trust factor of the domain How many times your link has been mentioned and hundreds more than just PR
and after that i m noticing that most of the people left using DP and now we are not able to see new thread daily.......This will not only decrease the traffic but at the end will decrease the PR of the forum too
Most of the "Spammer" leave is a good sign. And the quantity of the posts is not important, one quality post is much better than thousands spamming/crap post
with that said... it is important to have a mixture of do-follow and no-follow links to your site.... this looks totally natural to the search engines
When a forum is getting popular, sure they will implement more rules to avoid user abuse it. New forum allow link follow, as they need increase number user. By the way, I am not sure our DP profile website URL either is follow or not follow?
It wouldn't matter anyway. member.php is blocked from spiders being able to index it, and even if they could index it, all they would see if a message saying they need to be logged in to see that page (you have to be a logged in user to see user profiles). It's always been that way.
I think DP is a great site. Hell lot of information related to SEO that I personally need. Now if links are no follow or do follow it does not matter to me at least. There are many other reasons that make it a great site. By the way, I am still not convinced that all the DP links are no follow.
Thanks to answer. It will be good if DP allow link follow, but this is not the most important reason for me to participate this forum. I learn a lot through DP... those info is more value than link follow.
