Using Forum Signatures For Search Engine links
Forum Signature Links are one of the quickest and most effective
ways of getting your site either listed or increased in link
value by the major search engines Many forum webmasters are
happy for you to use this service provided you create useful
posts on their forums
The forums should be checked to (1) allow forum signature links
and (2) that those signature links are proven to show in
Google(and we can then assume )other major search engines
Many forums allow other types of website promotion which could
be worth the small amount of time and effort to get involved and
check the potential. Also don't forget the value of a profile
page forums which allow signature spidering , often also allow
profiles to be indexed by search engoines, this is particulary
true of VBulletin Forums
Webmasters can change rules very quickly, so you may find you
will have to do a certain number of posts to get a signature (
most common)
There are also technical reasons why some forums will show more
backlinks from a post signature ( bearing in mind as links can
take a long time to show up as links in the Search Engines)than
another post or forum. A good rule of thumb is to post regularly
in popular threads on popular forum categories where possible
The benefits of a well ranked forum signature are
particularly
useful for new domains or websites as search robots index many
of these forums on a daily basis and will pick links up to your
site or domain very quickly , back links in Google ( for
instance ) may take months to show , but the effect of them
should be in evidence in a short time
Forum signature links will have a short useful life unless
regular posting is maintained ( the value of receiving traffic
just from forum users can also be valuable)The best strategy is
to also register the site link with other useful sources (
particularly well search engine valued directories)
My own testing has found that MSN and Yahoo will index and add a
Forum signature URL to their listings far quicker than Google ,
which seems to like to find several sources of linking before it
will be added for good
There are hundreds of forums you could join and add you
signature to and perhaps become part of, best to find a number
that suit your needs and make useful posts on a regulat basis
If you would like a current list of 20 Forums which I have
checked myself for allowing signature links, and also checked
for productive search engine backlinks go here
