From now on, only 4 Links allowed in Signatures, NO more. Guys, the LESS links you have in your signatures, the MORE value Google places on these links! I have seen some of you with 8 signature Links, and it is making the Forum look Spammy because the link text often exceeds the post content ! So pick up to 4 signature links, and no more! Another thing, it is a waste of forum space to link your website as follows www.americawash.com and then do this roof cleaning america as well! A naked link like www.americawash.com is almost worthless, name the link for your main keywords, and remove the naked links! I work real hard on the SEO of this forum, and I will not see it destroyed by those of you who may think this practice of stuffing links in their signatures is harmless. Paehaps some of you meant well, but now you know. Links are Links, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, whatever! You get up to 4, no more! Many high Ranked Forums allow only 2, because it bleeds link juice from all of us!
