Thread: Hyper link

In my opinion it is depend on the article, if the article is do follow or not.

Yes, it is just like a signature link but would be more powerful if you target high PR blogs and article submission sites.

Does it work like signature link?

I'm not sure, but yes it think so, but one thing is for sure, there is a very large difference.

For an example, a signature is carried out all throughout your post, and the more active a forum is and the more post you have, the better the chances that spiders are indexing your page as they crawl on your links every time a new post/reply is added, as they say bots/spiders want fresh content.

On the other hand, links on a comment decreases its CTR as other comments are added making your comment buried deep.

Sorry im not good at explaining, i so, hope that there is someone who can explain this more clearly.

It's obviously good for SEO if the links are do-followed like everyone here said...there's only one thing you have to pay attention to: if you post the same link as in your signature with a different anchor text, then only one of these will be taken into account.

So you'll have to decide beforehand which anchor text your site will mostly benefit from. Of course, a link in the comment box will bring you much more traffic than one in your signature, so there's another aspect you have to take into account.

Each type of link is different and also depends on the sites PR. Signature links can be of very low value but over time build up. Comment links can have a huge impact on your keywords in a very short amount of time.
