high pr forum signatures on non related websutes

[Teamrun]

hi i would like to know how gud it is to have tons of high pr forum signatures on unrelated forums like webmaster forums etc etc. coz having signatures in similar niche is tuff coz most of the times similar niche forums are ur competitors and dont allow forum siggies....so would liek t know ur opinion ?

its still valuable. not according to the backlinks it also brings traffic to your site. so i think its still important. Of course important, and is very important part of search engine optimization because Google counts them and it generate traffic and back links both. Link is always a link. In this this will help you in serps but as link relevancy is not the case the link popularity would be less. does each and every link of our forum signature is counted for the keyworrd in the siganture ? suppose i m targetting keyword x and have around 400-500 posts for that and have mentioend keyword x as an anchor in siagnture, so all the 500 links are counted or not ?

Any backlink is important regardless of the website, however it is better to have links on related websites(obviously) because the traffic will have less of a bounce rate because the users will actually be interested in your content.

i tried particpating in forums without useless spamming (i mean jus a siggy), result - banned from forum

coz elated sites are competitors

moreover dont u think its a gud idea to particpate in webmaster forums although unrelated coz they have high pr compared to the related sites
