Signature in forurm

Abbey · 10-26-2007, 01:29 PM

Hello All,

A forum am frequent with i once placed a link to my website in my signature and after some months Yahoo and MSN counted 100's of incoming links to the site but google counted non.
Can anyone see me through, does Google ignore links in forums?

Thanks

No, Google does see links in Forums (it certainly does with this one

)

However I have noticed that sigs on one motorcycle forum I have been on for several years doesn't seem to show up in Google webmaster. Don't now why, the links seem to be 'live' in the forum...

Google doesn't display all the links with the link: operator. Even in the webmaster area I only see about 25% of the links that are listed in Yahoo. I don't rightly now if Google only passes on a sample in the webmaster area, or it doesn't see some.

May be google is not interested in your links....Otherwise Google looks the links provided pretty often..

google does not ignore links in forums and counted it as inbound links for a site.

SOMETIMES it helps to include a link in your siggy.

Many forums use the NOFOLLOW tag, which means your link is useless. You can do a view source to see if the particular forum you're looking at uses the NOFOLLOW or not.

Follow up.....

For example - here's the code for my signature from this page:

Quote:

<a rel="nofollow" title="External linking" href="http://www.gimmemydomains.com" target="_blank"><font color="SeaGreen"><b>GimmeMyDomains.com</b> - Cheap domains to the people!</font></a>

All SEs crawled signatures from forum.. The reason is GOogle don't display all of your backlinks only sample of your links...
