using <a> in a forum sig

I know using the

<a href=YOUR SITE>KEYWORDS</a>
thing is how you would target blog comments and such, but it tends to not work on forums or in signature.

Although, when you inspect and element in someones signature (open the source code), you see that we are using the <a> command


Can someone clear this up? How do you backlink in a forum signature?

    It all depends if the BB and HTML codes are on or off.

  • You can't just use standard html code within a forum, forums have their own language and it depends on the forum software being used (some do allow html though). One of the most common ones is BBCode. To place an anchor text link into a signature, you'd have to do this:

    Code:
    [url = http://yoursite.com]your keyword[/url]
    which becomes:
    your keyword
    Just remove the spaces in the first "url = http..." part so it looks like "url=http://..."

    Hope that helps!
