How much value does your DP signature hold?

How much back-linking value does your DP signature hold?

I know it probably depends on how much you post and how long you've been posting for, but has anyone experienced significant results from only using their DP signature as a back-link?

 

Yea it helps especialy since i have 15.6k posts
If the targeted keyphrase is long tail it helps quite a lot ...

 

I've never thought any signature links held much value, but they're good to have. Especially if you post a lot like w3bmaster mentioned.

 

it is better than none..

@w3bmaster wow that's a lot of post

 

Ugh! Ads with faces should be banned! Now I will forever associate W3bmaster with her!

 

It all depends on how many posts you have. But, remember, the more quality threads you make - that actual people talk on, will help.

 

it should help not only for exposure to users.

i even benefited through it that i only have 2K+ posts.

 

Yes, it helps alot, i try it for one of my new mini website, get PR2 and few longtails keywords on 1st page

 

It really depends on how much you post. The more you post (with QUALITY posts), the more juice you get.

 

wow, that is the perfect example of how a signature can help SEO. i only have 11,335 posts to go until i have that sort of signature value

 

i take the view that all links take you just that little bit further

 

i don't know it help or not, since i use it there is no change with my blog position on google serp

 

I think it depends on weather the subject is related to your site... like why would you put a link to an ice cream factory in your sig on DP? It would serve little purpose! but a link to a search engine optimization company or something related to what DP is all about - probably would help!

 

I know the mantra that "every link helps" makes sense, but if you really need to post 2K times to have a significant impact on your site is that really worth it?

Does the variety of forum backlinks make a difference in their SEO weight? I mean for example if you have 2 posts from one forum or 1 post from 2 forums that all have the same anchor text backlink in them, will one have more benefit to rankings?

 

Yeah, obviously the more posts you have the more exposure to the masses.

 

I see a jump whenever I post.

 

For SEO I don't think much, but for the site in my sig, I'm not really after SEO traffic. I absolutely get traffic though, and that's what it's about for me.

 

So by this do you mean that your not too bothered about people clicking though from the link on your signature, but rather it increases your page ranking for your anchor text keyword?

 

Nope, opposite. I don't really actively do SEO for my blog anyway though.

 

Ok thanks mate. In your opinion though do you think that the bank links from signatures carry any weight on their own for the purpose of increasing page rankings for the keyword anchor text used for the sig link?

You see most of my sig links are on forums that are not necessarily topic related so chances are I won't get any traffic from click through's instead I have them their to increase page ranking from link juice, is that worthwhile? as a lot of people say that sig links don't really do much for page ranking on keywords.

Sorry to be so questioning haha I can't help it as im putting a lot of work in right now and I want to to be worthwhile
