Forum Signature Link Benifit

Yeah! it generates set of few effective backlinks that can help your site to rank better among search engines

 

You already knew the answer to this question though didn't you.

 

how the link in the signature helps with the rankin of the site?

 

I have link in the signature about MMA.
Most of you are NOT interested in MMA but in AdSense.
I doubt anyone will click but if you say it gives backlinks and some traffic - I am waiting

 

signatures help in backlinks (depends strong or weak) and a little bit traffic

 

easy to get a backlink and don't need to be aprroved .it only have
little weight on serp , but if you comment at many different forum with signature backlink off course it become a strong backlink .On forum backlink we don't play quality but quantity.

 

I think it will be more useful when u r posting to a relevant forum of your targeted niche, and yeah there is no doubt these links do counted by google.

 

1. traffic
2. backlinks
3. get seen
4. index yourself at search engine better

 

you get some traffic and your signature title keyword will improve your serp

 

is it bad for new sites?

 

Signature links are for marketing, not SEO. It will provide a backlink that can aid in getting a site in the index quicker perhaps. It does not, however, provide a substantive SERP increase at all. It is too easily employed as a spamming methodology.

hope that helps,

New sites need backlinks too, how could it be bad

 

I totally disagree. Forum links carry just as much weight as any other links. Google does not discriminate. The link is simply classed as a vote from the domain. The reason people think that forum links aren't strong is because a site with 1k links from the same forum won't rank well. This is because all of the links are from the same domain, and therefor constitute one vote. Not because forum links aren't strong. Having 1k forum links from different forums would be powerful, and having 10k links from different forums with your keyword, or from any different domains for that matter, will pretty much dominate that keyword.

 

@dude above me... I am sorry but if that was even remotely accurate every jackass on the planet would simply spam the crap out of forums in attempts to get links. Actually, I see quite a bit of that anyway but fortunately most forums have a good bit of human vetting going on.

This is why professionals can do in 5 links what folks with that sort of mindset can maybe do with thousands.

I do however greatly appreciate that you explained your reasoning. Discourse is a good thing. I mean that sincerely.

A link is not a link. If you are selling toasters, or, for the sake of argument, something poker related, your sig link from digital point means squat. It is not relevant, it is not merit based and it is not applicable to the the task at hand.

hope that helps someone,

I disagree Nigel. I've heard the link relevance theory many times, but have never seen any evidence of it. If you check my link profile, you'll see i have around 1.5k mostly crap links, but i'm just off of page 1 for rakeback which has 2.2 million competition. By your theory, you should be able to put up a page with the correct meta etc, build five quality, relevant links to it, and out rank me. Possible? I'd wager that it's not.

 

Sweet, this is exactly what I am talking about when I use the term "discourse" (although I don't mind howling at idiots from time to time... not saying you are one, just in case lol)

For starters your 2.2 million competition comment is the root of your flawed logic. That figure means Dick Butkus(sorry, I am in football mode).

How many serps there are has nothing to do with how competitive a term is.

As for the 5 links comment... ehh yeah. You can do in 5 relevant, merit based links what someone can do with 1000 forum sig links. That is where I was headed with that.

Essentially, 2.2 million pages were found by Google to contain that keyword. It doesn't tell you how many of those pages are actively optimizing for and targeting it.

hope that helps,

Takes a bow and turns on the Bears game,

If u ask the best, then I guess it comes the quantity!

 

forum signature link if its dofollow den its very useful..
visitors , backlinks etc etc include so...

 

ya, forums provides back links and traffic also , here you share your knowledge with others if your comment is effective then users will definitely visit your signature.

 

The link within the forum is one-way which is definitely more valuable than a reciprocal link;

Plus forums are always updating and search engines love webpages which update on a regular basis with new content.
