    It's not quantity, it's QUALITY! Keep that in mind and your links will hold more value in the eyes of anyone (including bots) that see them! High Quality and Unique CONTENT can give ANY link that extra edge.

    Q, what do you think about adding social bookmark buttons to a forum. I see many forums use them but it looks bad and I try to limit how many links my pages have. some good things could be more traffic and back links, but not everybody uses them and trying to find the best one could be a task.

    Its nice to see out outside of the ODP forum ;)

    I have put the SHARE THIS addon in all of my blogs and have found that it's helped some. I also have some social bookmarking sites on my forums... it's a new feature with vBulletin 3.7/3.8 and thought I'd check it out.

    I started a poll asking for the top social bookmarking sites from the members on my forums. Of the top ten social sites, MOST of my members don't us any of them. Even when I asked which ones they did use out side the top ten I got very few replies.

    I have stuck with the 5 I use, lol. They seem to match the few that the members use themselves.

    I find it a simple means for member integration, should they happen to use them and would like to share something.

    So in the end, I think it's a matter of Moderation, as in having 1000 social bookmarking sites is CERTAINLY overkill and will likely do more harm then good in the end (if nothing else page load times). However, picking a handful of RELEVANT social bookmarking sites is likely not only intrusive, but handy.

    You can, but erm, I haven't...

    There is a free mod for forums on vborg, and vBSEO seems to have one... but I know little to nothing about them, so I am not endorsing them. However, I'd really suspect that this will likely be part of vB 4.0, as they really seem to be into the SEO thing more then they have been.


    Don't worry... just have your members work for you ;)

    What forums do you think are best for SEO. I'm using IPB 2.3.6 for my three forums but they just upgraded it to 3.0 do you use or have you ever used IPB?

    I think this last G update is showing that the more interaction we all have online is going to be good for our SERPS. Interesting ideas, especially because it would help keep IP address diversity in about 10 min a day!

    Dear Qryztufre, yours is the best article on dofollow forums, I applied to this.
    I am not expert and I am posing some questions:
    1) Forum signature link is valuable? Someone says they are not evaluated by google. I see some sites however where there is not much competition being pushed by participating to one forum only
    2) How fast would you see, if any, ranking or positioning benefit. Would crawler check posts that are 1 year old or would crawl just look at new ones. My experience is that there is no apparent difference inbetween post or thread date.
    3) What happens if you change your signature link after, let's say, one year. Assuming you have actively and truly participated to a forum with signature of site A, and you have 200 backlinks through signature. Now you go back into profile and change your signature to site B. I assume all your posts would change link retroactively. So site A will receive a negative 100 links and site B will receive a positive 100 links all in a sudden.
    Is site A going to be affected the same way that site B will benefit?.
    Did anyone experimented toggling, like switching site on signature every week? Could this be beneficial counting on google inertia....creating like a swing pushing.....
