Hi all,I was wondering what your thoughts/experience are on signature links in forums or blogs that offer the possibility to comment. I can imagine it's a good way of linkbuilding since threads (when getting older) contain lots of information and will probably be well crawled by search engine's, but the subject might not be really relevant..And another thing I thought about is; some threads get high PR's awarded by Google (after a few months). But a thing I see happen more often every day is that these high pr threads/subjects or posts on blogs are getting spammed from top to bottom by sites/people who are trying to profit from that high pr (let's skip the discussion if PR is important for a while..). When your link is at the top of this list (let's say you did contribute with an informative comment to the post/thread), is there a (fair) chance that Google will see your link/site as spam as well and give you a penalty?Hope to hear from you!
