if i change my DP signature will it effect my backlinks which i have used in my signature? please help anxiously waiting for your reply thanks in advance
For instance it will not get any sort of effect however no more new backlinks will be process or crawled as you will change the signature link to any other one
will this will be counted as backlink or not? this is what he is concerned about & me too. so please tell about it.i think a link from this forum is backlink but not sure
from above discussion it is clear that all my previous backliks will be changed But the question is: for example i have made 500 backlinks for a keyword and on that keyword my site is ranked on the first page of google.Now, if i change that signature will my site go back to the 4th page of google where it was before making backlinks on DP
Forum signature is not that important to SERP. However, if you have posted a lot of posts, and remove the link in signature, then it will affect the ranking.
Exactly - the point being missed by many here is that you are removing backlinks. Otherwise I would simply sit here all day changing backlinks as soon as they are indexed. A removed backlink, when discovered by the Search Engines, removes the benefit it passed on
If you have build only backlinks with your signature here, over time, Google will discover that the links have been removed and discount them. And yes, that will affect your rankings. But if you got on the first page of Google by just using your signature here, this means that you are in a very low competition niche. Most likely you got also other links that got you there, SY
no em nt using a low competition keyword.My keyword is "online bollywood movies" and this keyword got searched 210000 times monthly.It isn't enough?
So, does having a ton of postings with the same signature give you more 'ranking' or 'pr' if its on the same forum? And i've also read that it seems posts with signatures in more popular posts are worth more (anyways, people offer to 'sell' these for more money)?
^ Yes The forum signature has some importance but there are a lot of things that each have a little importance that gets you on the first page of google.
If you change your signature now, it will not affect your ranking right away but It will surely affect your ranking eventually
Just to conclude if you change you singature links then - 1.All your posts will have new links. 2.You will be loosing your keyword backlinks. 3.and hence will loose all the benefits that you were getting from those backlinks.
