    How about we stick with DP to start & then after a while possibly add to other forum signatures?

    Interesting idea.
    But seriously, how will Search Engine know whether it is a normal link or a signature link?

    Now that I've added it you should get an additional 1000+ backlinks, plus a link from my PR2 profile ;)

    Great!

    One correction: I forgot to de-select the "Group results from the same site." in the search options for msn. The number of backlinks on MSN is actually 171.

    Its interesting that Yahoo filters through the forum links only selecting 48 of them. Unfortunately I cannot see any patterns as to what Yahoos criteria might be.

    Plenty of backlinks, but it's odd that it is still not indexed. Should be any time now!
