For webmasters interested in building back links to their sites, this just might be my most useful post ever. Well, besides this one of course.

The list below is of forums (with a page rank of 3 and above) that currently allow you to post signature links that "dofollow". I'd searched around for a while but haven't found a decent sized list, so I thought I'd start one up myself. If I find news ones I will add them to the list. If you have a forum that has a PR3 or above, and you think belongs on the list, let me know via the comments field.

SitePoint Forums PR7
Digitalpoint PR6
Harmony-Central Forums PR6
Search Engine Round Table PR6
Submit Express Forums PR6
Start Ups PR6
v7n PR6
Webmaster Talk

Comic Book Resources Forums PR5

    Hey, cool idea!
    I think sitepoint.com is dofollow if I remember correctly and also earnersforum.com I believe is dofollow, but check before you post.

    You were right Scot, both forums allow dofollow sigs, so I’ve added them to the list.

    for the uninitiated, what’s dofollow?

  8. Avatarswollenpickles

    For the uninitiated:
    nofollow is an HTML attribute value used to instruct search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target’s ranking in the search engine’s index.

    So, dofollow is the opposite. So in effect posting (with your site url in your sig) in the forums listed will have a positive effect on your PR.

    The latter (Code4Gold) is my forum. It’s not as active as DigitalPoint but we’ve SEO optimized it for the top posters on the forum to get the most juice to their profile pages which can include websites, blogs, Squidoo pages, etc…That’s in addition to nofollowed signatures.

    So do you think it does help to leave comments in forums? Another SEO site said that it made no difference at all and would be a waste of time. Thoughts?

  40. Avatarswollenpickles
    40

    If you create 1000 posts in a forum that allows dofollow signatures, it stands to reason that it would have some effect. Whether it’s a significant effect or not I’m not sure, but it’s worth a shot IMHO.

  41. AvatarDavid Rader
    41

    Plus if you make enough quality posts on a forum, especially if you’ve helped someone (so they trust your expertise), they’re bound to see what else you’ve got going on, especially if it’s related.

    So on top of some PR, you get actual visitors… Which is the point of all of this stuff, right? If you’re making posts on a forum anyways, you might as well not be shy and have a link to your works available.

    @ Andy - I’ve tried implementing dofollow here and on other sites in the past, and found that all it has led to is an influx in comment spam and single word comments like “thanks” or “wow” that didn’t really add anything.

    Thanks for the great resource. But some of those forums are not providing dofollow signature like http://www.r8.com.au, http://www.makemoneykingdom.com does not have dofollow signature.
    I think the thing to point out when it comes to using forum signatures for building backlinks is
    1. The effect on SERPS is really relatively small and 2. Read the ToS before you join up.
    I’m a regular at Sitepoint.com and I know that signature links only become “dofollow” after 100 posts and they are really, really hot on what they call “fluff” posting - those that join just to get as many posts as possible with no desire to honestly join in the community discussions.

I like it when people leave comments. It makes me feel warm inside. What I don't like is when I receive comments from people with robot sounding names like "free web hosting" or "North Carolina Real Estate". Names like these will trigger the SPAM alarm at Pickles HQ, and likely get deleted. In summary, comments that look like an attempt to do nothing more than build back links will be deleted. Thanks for your understanding ~ swollenpickles.
