does this help or hurt

[wxdqz]

i have been going around the nfl forums and in my signatures on each one i have been linking to my website. i have put the url in so that the words "Carolina Panthers Forum" show up over it. will this hurt my placement on se's? will it just put me behind these other boards that are not carolina panthers forums? currently this forum is above mine in search results. would i be best if i just put my website link down, without the text over it? thanks
