I was under the impression that the research was geared towards the effects of changing a signature on a forum where the 1,800 posts are established already, effectively creating 1,800 links to the page being linked to almost instantly.

I could swear I seen somthing about this at Sitepoint when they lifted the nofollow from signatures there, if I remember right people freaked at first but it worked out for the better in most cases. :scratchhead:


Correct Joebert

redspace: from that numbers you gave it could translate somewhere 10 post a day for each forum


Not sure where that came from

redspace:
algorithm is about numbers and functions so there must be 'one' number which had trigger the function. who knows maybe 5 forum posting in one forum is the number. so maybe it is not a red flag if you post 1800 for 2 months in 6 forum( 5 post a day).


Not sure about that one either (Even after re-reading what I posted a few times)

redspace: i do believe SE have some kind of red flag but it got to relate to human reality. how many forum posting a day is normal?

I'm sure there is, which is why when the 1,800+ links ALL indexed at the same time it retroactively flagged & penilized them all in the top 3 more sophisticated algorithms.

It is really easy to capture the referring website. A lot more people have visited my freelance programming website from ozzu compared to the real estate forums I have posted on. I had to help my client with SEO backlinks for his real estate website.


I dont doubt that you have got lots of TRAFFIC from your forum sig, I went to your site the first time you posted, but I have no need for your product or any intention of ever buying from you, not that I dislike you, I just dont have the need.

There is a huge difference between traffic and sales, if you have 2 links 1 in a forum which is free and you get 100 visits and 0 sales but the other link cost you $50 and you only get 50 visitors but 10 sales, its obvious which one is better.

At first glance yes.

What if those 10 sales gross $40 ?
Strong with this one, the sudo is.

yes the amount you make does have to be more than what you initially paid, I just didnt want to complicate the matter.
