From what I see Google counts the signature once on each message board. You can have thousands of posts with these signatures, and they still get counted once. Signatures also don’t make it into SERPS.

In-text links do make it into SERPS, as Google sees fit.

Google purposefully obfuscates how it treats links. We can all speculate forever, as they do on the SEO boards.

I think the sig wrapper might just give it away Greek.. <span title=” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />

I must agree including your sig link within your post boundary does carry more weight. This has been my experience. The parser line seems to interrupt the natural flow of the google bot. A good example is when we bitch and complain about content theft etc.. We usually post the dirt bag’s url above the parser line. These get picked up very quickly.

Sig links are usually votes for ones own site. A common sense indicator the links are not viral..

If google are applying block level link analysis, sig links seperation will be taking place (I believe they are). Links in actual posts will carry more weight.

One would think they would have developed a system to ignore the links long ago but it seems they have never taken the issue up.

Be nice to see them finally attack the issue then those abusing the privilege those that have numerous links to their own sites in many cases multiple links to multiple pages of just one site might feel a pinch.

thank you very much for posting Jonitas!

i appreciate the compasion

indeed i did over-optimize probably, except this its a mess all over, no clue or structure to be found in falling in the SERPS,
even a very small not gambling and very clean website is affected

am i still above you on a certain long-tail search?
