    Are signatures here followed by search engines or is there something in place to make them "invisible" to search engines.

    If a search engine can follow links, then they should be able to.

    Thanks for the reply. The reason I ask is that I understand that some forums are set up to not display the signature links when search engines visit. I'm glad to hear that's not the case with digitalpoint. :)

    Some forums put a "nofollow" in place where signatures are concerned.

    You two both have thousands of posts here. Can you attribute a boost in traffic to your website from posting here?

    I'm sure you can easily get 50+ per week uniques from Digital Point just by having a link in your signature. :) This forum is very high traffic, and I know I'm always clicking on people's signatures that interest me! ;)
