I have noticed that there is a good number of forum members, both new and old, who have not bothered yet to create their signatures in this forum. I sort of thought that maybe they don't know yet how to go about it, a reason to come up with this thread to explain a little more on how to go about it.

The fact that you are a PIPS member, it's by implication that you already have a website to promote, created for you by Stone Evans to do business. It's therefore important to ensure that your signature is created as you participate in this forum.

To create your SIGNATURE, just go to your "User CP", the first item on the left on the menu bar in red, and click on it. In the dropdown menu, select EDIT SIGNATURE. Type the words you want to appear in the link to your site. After typing your preferred words, click on the "Insert Link" icon, a small blue globe-like icon, just below the "Smilies" white icon. In the pop-up small window, enter your PIPS website URL written beginning with http://www followed by your domain name e.g. YourDomainName.com (just example, NOT linked to any live website).

After doing all that, test your link to see if it's live so that your visitors do not get disappointed with broken links.

I hope this will help those, who haven't yet known how to do it. I will feel very happy to see all the members of this forum having their signatures with links to their websites. Good luck!

But In How Many post Signature Edit Options will appear

[greatestwarrior]

Warriors, go and set your Signature if you still not have yours set up.

[llcosby]

I have to plead guilty on this one!! Although I pride myself in making it through the 30 days success, I understand you miss things the first round through. Started reading this forum, went back to the training and corrected my signature ASAP!!! Thanks for all those who know this and can direct the ignorant! =o)

[whossain]

Thanks dear. I am going to create that!

[M1chael]

Been trying to figure out why mine won't show up, even though I set it a month ago.

[vsjogger]

Does the signature only show up in certain forum folders?

added: it shows up here, but not in WSO posts.

[owey]

Thanks for the walk through,talk about leaving it on the table!
Glad i came across this post,thanks for the info.

[highstake]

Hi goleza ,
Thanks for the information,
Btw , i already set my signature but don't know why my signature isn't showing below my posts , do you know the reason?
If anyone knows the reason , please reply
Thanks in advance

[goleza]

I have tried to check the links below this post and I saw them working very, which means they are ok. When you make any post they will be showing, that's what I think

Please use 'normal' size font - I realize this Warrior Forum rule is in some obscure place I can't quote at the moment but it does say to use a normal size font - normal would be the same size as the font in the posts. (you can use bold though)

Yours looks really big.

Thanks for your appreciation. Now that you have known, kindly put your signature. I haven't seen yet!

[avtaarsid]

Thanks for this great info, i have just created mine signature .

[HAWTs]

Thanks for so much

[blacksteeld9]

Thanks I Just fixed mine.

[antonamoto]

You rock man, helpful tips.

[spa3]

Awesome, just added it, hopefully it shows up. Good tip!

[Joseph Connor]

Same problem here, created sig. but yet nothing? I don't get it. I am starting to think the forums went back to paid signatures. Anybody who created a sig and can't see it, I am pretty sure you need to pay for it just like your picture now. The forums also went back to paid members in the War Room so cough it up! lol

[Patrician]

You are mistaken, Joseph.

Signatures are free. Signatures may not be available until after a minimum number of posts (25-50 posts) due to all the trolls and miscreants who join only to spam their links in their signature.

If you had a signature and it is now gone, then you may have violated a signature rule and now no longer have the privilege.

The "picture" you may be referring to may be the 'avatar' - you have a 'picture' for your profile and an 'avatar' for your posts. You may be confusing the two and have added a picture but not an avatar.

Generally using the Warrior Forum is free except for private, paid sub-forums for example The War Room, and some other advertising boards.

[Surfer Liu]

Thank you, i added my Signature too.

[Richgirl]

Hiya,

I've done the above (and thank you for the very clear explanation) and have more than the required number of posts, but when I make a post in a thread I can't see my signature (and I have the 'show your signature' box ticked too).

Can you please tell me if you can see my signature? If not any idea how I get it to show?!

Thanks, Shell

[Richgirl]

Well that's weird, now I can see it plain as day - typical!

I think I know what's caused it to be hidden before too, I had manually done the link and put html in (which isn't allowed) so I think it automatically blocked it, so if your signature isn't displaying re-do your links exactly as described by Goleza (thank you!) and you should be fine!

Thanks again!

[viceroyviki]

Thanks a million for showing how to make a signature here. I am still waiting to see it appear though.:confused:

[sadas]

I dont know what happened but I cant create my signature now

[Steven Hill]

Funny, I saw your message just I pondered how to do that. Thank you.

[goleza]

Please just follow the guidelines and also read other posts on this thread for more clarification, you will obviously find it working.

[wpfix]

Thanks for this awesome tutorial goleza. I have just edited my signature.

[FayyLa]

Thank you very much for sharing this.
I see my signature alive now

[murtagh]

Thanks for the heads up...I've now added my signature as well

[AuthenticHealthCoaching]

What do I do if html in my signature is disabled? How do I get it reenabled?

[Patrician]

You don't use HTML in this forum - you use BB Code which is almost the same. It will never work with HTML so please don't wait.

Do yourself a favor and follow some of these suggestions so that you will create a signature that will display here, ASAP.

For example type the text you want to display, like: 'Authentic Health Coach' and then highlight it; then click the globe with the chain icon. It will prompt for the URL Type the URL of your site in the box and then the system will enclose it in the BB code tags for you.

What will display is 'Authentic Health Coach' and it will be hyperlinked so that if someone clicks it they will be redirected to your website (URL)

(...and you will see what BB code looks like (very similar to HTML)

[oxenam]

Hi, thanks for this useful info. I have created my signature but if I create more than one it shows only one. Try to find out what I did wrong.

[NXmarketeer]

rename or make another thread with the title "the art of wf signature"! marketing speaking is an artform to make signatures that catch the eye and "invite" the user to click them without using "geocities-like" colors and things! don't you agree people?

We are limited in the design of our signatures. Here is a link to the Warrior Forum message about this:

>>> What are the Forum Rules?

In essence, they say:

SIGNATURE FILE RULES

(1) Maximum length of sig file is 5 lines which includes any blank lines used for spaces.

(2) You are only permitted 1 color in your sig file, this can be any color so long as it's black (hyper links can be blue as they come up this way on the board)

(3) Sig files may only be written in the normal standard font size.

(4) You may bold or italicize but that's it.

(5) No Affiliate Links Allowed - Promote Your Own Domain/s Only. It's either this or we have to cut out sig files altogether which we do not want to do.

(6) Anyone Caught Promoting The Same Site/Offer Will Be Deleted. Program owners are telling their members to come here and make posts to promote their offer in their sig files. This has caused tons of useless messages to be posted and it is clogging up the forum. Anyone caught doing this will have to be removed. This is not an ad forum - it is a discussion forum.

Hope that clarifies.

[ferenan]

Thanks a lot man,I have to make it more attractive mine.

[jamessmbseo]

Go to User CP then select "Edit Signature" in the pull down menu.

[GomerMagtibay]

Is it okay to have two hyperlinked words pointing to only one URL in a single line of your forum signature? Like for example, Click here to make money online from home with Gom! The words "click here" is hyperlinked and it's pointing to my home page, and the keywords "make money online from home" are also hyperlinked, and are also pointing to the same URL, my home page. Is it okay to set it up like that?

[Patrician]

Hi Gomer,

I don't see why it would not be allowed since nothing is linked to an affiliate link (like PIPS sales page)

... and I WAS going to say, but I don't see the purpose.

But NOW I think I do - pretty cool idea -

[GomerMagtibay]

@Pat: My purpose is, related to link building. Two links (that are pointing to my site) are created in every single forum post. Doubling the number of links being created. Will it make any difference, in SEO?

[Jeffery]

Hi Gomer,

I see what you are doing in forum signatures all over the WF and it appears to be okay. In terms of SEO it is the alt-txt that is the key SEO factor and must be relevant to both the forum meta and your site's page meta, i.e. the same as Article Directory Marketing.

If you really want to scale it up here are some tips:
1) Create a WarriorForum blog

2) Publish three unique articles about a three step method with the same meta:
2.1. Publish article #1 on your domain
Note: The three step method with an Overview, Details, Conclusion
2.2. Publish article #2 on your WF blog
Note 1: with an "alternative" Overview, Details, Conclusion
Note 2: Be very careful to select the appropriate WF Tags, so as to be exact match
2.3. Publish article #3 in cooperation with another niche blogger and/or an article directory.

The key point is to make sure you publish on your blog first. You already know why.

Some people (me included) actually mix the order of publishing up a bit for diversity every so often, so as the search engines do not detect a trend. It probably does not matter at all, but what applied a year ago does not apply today. In this way it can't hurt your efforts, but when the search engine methods change your efforts are not for the worse.

Hi Gom,

Like your new photo. Much more professional!

No, the two links will not make any difference in terms of SEO. One will suffice. Too many links to the same "page" from the same website (Warrior Forum) would actually be detrimental to SEO. Eventually the SEs will ignore most of the links. You would see this in the SERPs after a few months...but in the meantime you wouldn't even be aware.

Best practice is to mix it up by using links to the internal pages of your website, so they get the traffic from the WF, i.e. people you are will to hel FREE and people with money in their wallet.

You are smart to use the WF Sig for two purposes GOM and the first is:

1) Help others.
2) Help yourself.

Your sig is not all about making money. Convince us that your are here to contribute as a team member. Compel others outside the WF to buy.
