List of Forums that allow “dofollow” signature links

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.

    Why isn’t this website dofollow?

  8. swollenpickles says:

    @ 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 list, very useful!!

  12. Sitepoint forum seems to be nofollow now if you check the source code.

  13. Yahoo says:

    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.

    Mainly, it is useless if we link our websites to “nofollow” forums even on blogs etc.. ‘coz search engines won’t find it actually…

    Thanks for the list, very useful. TriPHP forum link is not working

  24. J32 says:

    Thanks alot for this list, it will be very helpful for me in the near future. The signature links in the SitePoint Forums have a nofollow attribute until you reach 100 posts. At least thats what I read in the SitePoint Forums.

  25. Jodi says:

    I really try to converse in these forums but sometimes it’s hard when I don’t always know what they are talking about in the webmaster forums. I guess reading and asking questions is how I’ll learn though…

  26. Michiko says:

    Hi all! Hot picture alert! If Paris Hilton is your fave, then I have a website for you to see. Who wants it?

  27. You forgot adultswim which I think is still dofollow? Cheers!

  28. Thanks for such a useful list.
