Signature tips for newbies

I'm seeing a few people on here with sigs like this:

www.xyz.tld - Bob's World of Crap

If you want to SEO you signature link, you want the description of the site to be the text for the link, not just after the link:

Bob's World of Crap

Otherwise, the only people who will know it's Bob's World of Crap are humans who read the actual sig. Google wouldn't know that.

 

yeah best way would be to put the name in the hyperlink like you have and then the url beside it if you want people to remember seeing the URL

so like:

Bob's World of Crap - (site url)
where the name is linked like you have

 

Yup, that's even better.

 

I not so sure that XYZ Consulting will appreciate his/her site being used in the link text example.

 

lmao...I'll change it.

 

In future, I'll use this trips.

 

example.com is the standard.

After a site gets indexed through a forum signature, does the link still have to remain in the forum signature (in order to continue being indexed)?

 

hmm , but what about people who have multiple links in sigs .. would not that be writing too much ?

 

Once you're indexed, you're in the system. But you want to keep the links to maintain good backlinks.

 

I personally am not gonna read everybody's links, but the search engines don't care.

 

I think they rate sig links a lot less than nomal links, not sure how they do this though.

 

nthey prolly recognize the headers from the different forum scripts and such...

 

sig links dont have much valueas normal but they are still very good they get us huge traffic if we have lot of posts in forums

 

Signature link have a big value. it helped me a lot when I first launched the site. Through this links I guess Google can find my site easily.
