hi all,

newbie here don't know much about this links business but i heard that when we include urls in our signature when posting in forums, these links are not ranked as highly by cuz it somehow knows?

does anyone know how this works or can point me a source that does?

thx!

Many forums use 'nofollow' for such links; those that do not are likely to have the signature facility abused on a regular basis, so SEs would be very likely to ignore them (or, not rank them highly).

Read up on 'bad neighborhoods' - because forums that have unregulated signatures often end up that way.
