    No. It's one link. If it was that easy to screw up a site, I'd buy an army of psuedo-porn sites and point them at whoever I wanted to outrank.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?
