Hello. I found many forums (listed here) with do follow in signature. The real problem with 99% of these forums is that: the first page / categories page have PR but all pages of these forums are unranked. In this case i think all these links have no values... Am I wrong ?
Yes and no. This is the same case with directories, articles, etc..... the main page will have a page rank, however the inner pages will be unranked. It will still have value, but obviously not as much as one would have on the main page.
A simple but great way to put it, I am not that fussed about pagerank to be honest I prefer to get people
It may bring some traffic, but you're right, it won't pass any PR juice. Just remember, PageRank is assigned to the PAGE, not the SITE. So the PR of the page that your link is on is what is important when trying to build up your backlinks and increase your link popularity.
I understand. But in this way all "dofollow" forums lists are useless because "dofollow forum" = "nofollow forum".
Somehow you are confusing do follow and PR. Just because a forum is 'do follow' doesn't mean that you'll be able to get your link on a page that has PR. Do follow just mean that the link will pass some pr juice, IF the page has any. A do Follow link on a PR5 page will pass some of that PR5. A do follow link on a pr0 page will not pass any pr juice, but it would it the page had greater than a pr0.
I understand what you tell me. But look at this page for example: http://www.v7n.com/forums/google-forum/41207-google-spiders-ajax.html The post is from 2006 but the page is still unranked. Or this link: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=39545 The post is from 2005 but the page is unranked. This is not normal in my oppinion. Do you know what I mean ? The forum is do follow but without any PR... become useless.
Yes, it is do-follow, but it will not pass any PR link juice. Just becuase it's do-follow, doesn't mean it has PR. There are billions of pages out there that are do-follow but don't have any PR. However, just knowing that teh v7n forum is do follow is a big advantage. Now you can look for pages on v7n that do have PR, and post on them. You cna use SEO Quake and do a 'site:' search on Google to help. Then just look for the pages that have PR and that allow you to post on them. For example, moderator profile pages often have PR. Find one, then read some of their most recent posts, then go into their profile and comment on it, leaving your link at the bottom.
Really? Look at this link: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source....com/forums&aq=f&aqi=&oq=&fp=d6985f0b1643625b If you are carefully you'll see that just categories and profiles are indexed. All the rest of pages are still not indexed !!
Well if you provide some valuable content when the site is crawled and gains PR, it will pass some on to you, but if you are after something "here and now", I suggest you try something else!
Yep, it looks like they do not have very many of their posts indexed in Google. That means topics and posts will not pass link juice. Just becuase they are do-follow doesn't mean that are other restrictions on them. They probably have something in their robots.txt or .htaccess file that prevents google from indexing the posts and threads.
My point is: all these list with dofollow forums (or many forums) are useless (for any PR juice) because Google doesn't know nothing about all these pages. Maybe just for visitors comes from signature...
Also, don't forget that profiles can have PR, and they allow you to post on them too. I wouldn't spam them, but as I explained before, you could find creative ways to drop your link in thee.
Wow, you are hard to get through to. Let me spell it out. - PROFILES HAVE PR. - PROFILES ARE INDEXED - YOU CAN POST ON PROFILES Understand?
yes, this links are not help full to you website because this link only follow only home pages only, so if you are in inner then you can't get any benefit this back links, try to generate traffic of you forum thread where you going to create your thread, which is best way to generate traffic and also boost of your keyword ranking.
