In this forum, I think you will need to post at least 20 post before DF allow you to put in your signature with link.....
Once your logged in, click on 'settings' (at the top of the page) & then click on 'Edit Signature' on the left hand side under the heading 'My Settings'
it works, but it is really really really small effect. Why? you look on the main page of DP forum, it is PR 4, but in this thread, it just only N/A. Your links are on the thread, and in one thread, maybe there are about 20 post x 2 signature link=40 links. 40 links on N/A page? it almost nothing, (maybe even google bot, seldom to crawl it ) but no problem, it still give effect if someone click on your sig.
Yes, it helps with your websites seo. You're building back links to your website and that's a big role in search engine optimization. Just target the keywords of your website and use the links in a forum that is the same niche as your website.
Forum signature link will help you to get more visitors and you will also get the quality back links.
Agree. They worth more as advertising, than for SEO purposes. Search engines are more clever these days and do not take into account these links. However, a link inside the post have a bigger pagerank than on the signature since it's related of what you're writing about.
There are only few websites are available that provides Do-Follow Links on Signature so Signature Links on active profile can definitely allow anyone to ensure the increment of backlinks with comparison to number of postins
Ok, so forum links have a very small effect.. but only when the forum provides DO-Follow Links? And.. having Sig Links for NO-Follow are mostly just for advertising and have NO effect?
from what I hear site point has dofollow links which are good, you wouldn't want to buy an acccount from a forum that has a nofollow for SEO, I would assume..
