I think they didnt count because the value is very little, and many of the post here has PR value of n/a.. but they do count,
I improve several ranks in SERP though

I have two other forums that I've posted on regularly over the years, but neither recently. Both show up and give me a lot of links, so maybe it just takes longer for forum links to show.

The way I've been feeling lately, nothing is ever going to work. I have done everything suggested and nothing changes. Or at least it doesn't seem to. I'm currently waiting for some high PR links to be posted and to sit there for long enough that Google sits up to take notice, but that's my last hope.

I'm getting very frustrated. It's not even like there are a ton of sites I'm competing with. There are like 5 total. If that. Maybe even 4. Except one person owns two of the sites and between the two of those sites, they take up at least 3 of the top positions. Just sucks.

(Sorry. I'm needing some cheese for my whine.)

Yes forum links most certainly do help. I actually wrote a short guide to ranking in google for very competitive keywords in a week on another thread on here and in it I said I created about 30 to 50 backlinks a day. Many of these were from forum profile links and signatures as well as youtube videos and a few backlinks from .edu and .gov Here is a link to the thread if you would like to read more.

I think Google still counts "relevant links" to have a higher value. Therefore, look for forums which are related to the site that you're promoting. I believe they'll count more than just any form of backlinks. Can anyone verify this?

[kyla23]

I have been trying this technique from some time and it had proved to be the most reliable method dome with ease.

[blogworker]

yes, it is.
but i want to say, it not means you can focus on the quantity, and post some spam post or comment.
it can easily image, if what you post or comment is very useful and professional, it will cause a high attention on it, and correspondingly more people pay attention on your link.
otherwise, it will only leave a bad impression.

Yes, Forum signature links count as back links and It will also help your SERP.

[bb252]

Not sure how much effect they have on rankings but they can get a new site indexed quickly.

[Terrybear]

Yes, forum profile and signature link are all called as backlink but it can either be dofollow or nofollow. However, the signature or profile link are not give high impact on the SEO if you dont have huge posts

[ulcseminary]

I think, at this point, we can all just assume that when we're talking about various kinds of links, we're talking about real posts and not spam. I am always annoyed by forum/blog comments that say, "Great post! Thanks for sharing!" Oh yes, such great content. I most certainly will approve THAT.

[monci]

yes it'll be count. I think it's effective way to get a backlink..
every optimizer use this method I guess..

[the lord]

yes really Forum Profile signature can be used as a backlink. but must select the forum that profile has a high PR. otherwise it will not be any good.

[ulcseminary]

Hey! My warrior forum signature links showed up in my webmaster tools today. Woot woot!

[junne]

what i feel is signature links are very powerful and they contribute a lot in making backlink power i have seen very good results with signature links.

[desception]

Agreed...^^ Forum Profile Link Count!!~ Thus the Existence of XRumer!!~

[mosthost]

Forum links are about as in style of Jheri Curls or Disco

[dotnetappdevelopment]

Yes, they count if you are posting in a Do Follow forum

[Illuminart]

Yes, they do count. A link is still a link.

[epathj]

yea,they do count but really weak

[Shilpa]

Yes they are counted as a link only if the moderator doesn't delete your account.

[PTag]

I also created few .edu profile and signature do follow backlinks, Google webmaster display only signature backlinks. However i can get PR4.

[ekramhossain24]

Forum signature is an easiest ways to increase back link and it is counted by search engine

[LisaWilson]

Thanks
Lisa

[nahids]

Profile links are good , but profile links with good quality response related to your niche will bring a lot more ten just a couple of backlinks.

Many people in Forums are looking for solutions, if you are selling a good product that will solve their problems, you will get a BK and a sell.

[Nscnikhil]

Yes,they are very useful.....

[Venetian]

For me, Forum Profiles are the worst thing you can do.

Actually it was the only thing i did promoting websites that got me rank very low. Almost had a negative impact to my efforts.

[hokkienmee]

Which one is more useful for backlinks?

Create forum, fill in profile & signature, leave it there and do nothing
Or
Create forum, fill in profile & signature and make a few posting

[chiclets]

Well, for me, I guess posting your links on forum signature could really get you a backlinks and I must say its very helpful and POWERFUL.

[Greeks]

Yes they are counted as backlinks but remember, post on dofollow high PR blogs.

[chrislangley]

Forum profile signatures can count as backlinks if the site is do follow, but lately too many people have been abusing the privileges so many sites that were do-follow are now no-follow

[jackpeter20]

I then removed it yet again and added some minor backlinking(blasting a few articles to directories and a few blog posts as well as a few blog comments) and I created a squidoo lens for my term linking back to my site with correct anchor text. I was able to get back to #10 for my term.

[rivie0020]

With the right anchor text. I think any low competition keyword can rank easily

[sonu703]

[jeppa123]
