well i have fashion website , so i have question is it correct to advertise my site on non fashion relevant sites . for example if i put my signature here would it be treated as spam or would get punished via google. thanks for your information. I am not webmaster and newbie in seo so please help me. thanks guys According to me you can put signature at any topic in any forum sites.. but i dont know how much search engines give value for these links. you can advertise on on fashion sites but it is better to advertise on relevant sites. Yeah, you can put ur signature, but every forum has own rules, for example, before to put ur signature you should do certain amount of posts or smth like that. Also you should advertise on websites and forums, blogs which are similar to urs, believe - there are a lot of such in I-net. Did you try a Facebook or Myspace, Twitter or Digg? Its also is a very good variant
So, good luck!
[removed] well yeah currently i am putting link of my site top page ranked fashion blogs , and some directories . also advertised through social bookmarks like twitter, digg, stumble, facebook .
i am using google toolbar for that. thanks for reply guys As much as you can, stick on the topic of your website. I strongly suggest that you join fashion related forums. Though it's okay to put your signature here, but prioritize on linking on related websites as much as you can. It's fine to participate and put some signatures here but if you are focusing on getting high traffic I suggest that you should go for fashion related forums. Relevancy is for traffic.
Any links from legitimate sites will help....related sites are the best..... nope its not going to be a spam.. but just like what google suggest.. quality and relevancy of links count towards your site rankings.. Yes you can place your signature links in any forums but google give importance to those link which have a high relevancy. Definitely, you should participate in fashion related forums to get quality and relevant back links. Good luck. As per my experience ant thoughts are concerns the backlinks should be 'Highly Relevant' and 'Naturally Occurring'..It may reduce the quantity but it will very beneficial for ling time backlinks.. thanks for your great response . thanks to you all guys When linkbuilding it is best to place links on high authority relevant websites. If not relevant try sticking with high authority and if not authoritative try sticking with relevant. Now one thing links on other websites do not hurt your web presence, but links on your website can hurt your web presence when it comes to Google. This is important to remember and the reason for this is webmasters trying to destroy competition by placing their url's on link farms. So don't worry about the incoming links at worst they will not be counted at all you need to worry about outgoing links make sure they are going to websites which are worth voting for.
Anyway this took me a couple hours to find it is a video by matt c. and he discusses why making a do follow blog can be harmful to your ranking because the fact that you can get hit by spammers who leave comments with links which lead to "bad places", but commenting on do follow blogs won't hurt your ranking. Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/user/GoogleWebmasterHelp#p/u/5/NQfOhncTXRU
This was not the exact video I was looking for, but it covers the topic at hand. You can put a signature in any forum this will not create any bad effect on your site or keyword ranking. Your site get affected only when you have done any link exchange with non related site or if having any bad link with your link on same page. thanks aja72 dude
