    Hi,

    I have a forum that uses vbulletin and vbseo. Supply Chain Focus

    For some reason my sig links don't appear in my Google Wemaster tools of external links. My sig links from DP are there, but none from my own forum. Any ideas appreciated.

    do you mean that google is not counting links to your website from your own website?

    what exactly do u mean?

    What I mean is.

    I have a forum of my own.
    On that forum I use sig links.
    The sig links point to other websites that I own.
    But the sig links do not show up in the external links for those sites, as listed on Webmaster tools.
    The sig links I use here on DP, do show up on webmaster tools for those sites.

    maybe your website has not been indexed yet by google.

    Yes it has.

    The Forum site has been indexed, because the sig links appear from the members list, but not from the posts in the forums.

    Are you using the same exact keywords in the links? In other words, do both forums contain the link "Supply Chain Focus"? If so, you need to change the keyword structure or change the words.

    Google may see it as a duplicate link and not index it. I am having the same problems in my sites. I changed the keywords to a bunch of my links last night, and google registered 5 more backlinks in around 12 hours.

    Do you mean, Am I using the same text in links, on two different forums? I'll have a look.
