    Hi guys, I have a forum account on a website with over 4k posts. Now I was wondering if I should put my site link in the signature or should I not because Google might think it's unrealistic?

    Thanks

    Your good to go. Google only flags your website if it seems links are appearing rapidly to your website from new sources. If you have built up 4k posts over a period of time they rule out the possibility that you used automated software to get those backlinks and those links will be highly valuable to your site.

    Everything is fair if its in a limit and in a certain period. I mean if 4k posts are qualitative and in a good span of time its really great you can surely put your link.

    Maybe Google consider it a backlink. On the other hand when you use link in your signature there are possible traffic comes on your site. When your post is great there's a possibility that other people will want to know more about you better so they will click your link in the signature.

    I would definitely add it if those posts were over a reasonable period of time.

    For as long as your links were posted in a timely matter, the Google bots would see that as a natural form of link building.

    yeah it wouldn't hurt to do it. it'd be better if the forum has DOFOLLOW links. but either way, it'll help.

    Of course you should put your link immediately. I am surprised you didn't add it a long time ago.

    Check if the signature links on that forum are nofollow or not.

    Think realistic, Google won't mind otherwise SEO companies would hire cheap workers (read: slaves) to post thousands of posts on forums and put their competitors in the profiles ;)

    I think it's good practice all around to include a link to your website/blog on you signature. Not so much as to build backlinks but it's building a reputation for yourself and for your site. If people in the forums think you provide good information, chances are they will click on the link you have in your signature to read more from you.

    Have a good day!

    There is no problem. Because you have not answered all the posts in a single day. It has taken a reasonable time. So, create your singnature link and enjoy quality link building for your website.

    I agree with a lot of users above - I'm surprised you haven't done so already; 4K posts could be a great boost to your SERP's...
