ty Stupid,
btw, its not just someother websites ranking higher than me now,
when first on the first page in the serps, now not found in first 1000 resultsBasically, what she means is, that CAP should allow certain people to have sigs and some not to. Which I think is a pretty bad idea, as different people have different idea of a “good website”.
WHAT?
This has absolutely nothing to do with CAP!
I said that CAP is likely NOT connected in google as far as post signatures go. The exact opposite. While post sigs get spidered, I do not believe they reflect back on the message board. I do not believe google views message boards the same way it views other types of sites.
CAP is for affiliates, and sigs are good for affiliate rankings, ergo CAP allows all links and everyone would be well advised to make use of that opportunity.
I also said that it is a bad idea to link indiscriminately – I was referring to people’s websites, and all those huge link pages people carry without continuously checking what google thinks of those sites.

I had assumed all pages were treated in a similar manner – they’re webpages that can (and do) appear in google listings from time to time.
A message board is simply a public CMS system.
Nothing scientific, just what I think I see going on with sites I watch closely…
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.
Hi Elgoog,
when I check the SERPS of the keywords I get the most traffic from, you are almost always above me :tooconfus
But then these are long-tail keywords, so are you loosing traffic on a few short keywords maybe? And is there a difference when you do a search on google.nl or on google.be?If so you could have over optimised your sites for let’s say ‘casino’. I know you have a lot of links on those startpages (startpagina’s).
greets,
jonitas
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 affectedam i still above you on a certain long-tail search?

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.
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.

I think the sig wrapper might just give it away Greek..
Could be right joeyl !
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.
Google and Yahoo say they count multiple links from a site once. Actually, their exact words to me were “diminishing returns”, which I took to mean that maybe you get a stronger link, but it is still one link. They did elaborate and say that the strongest link from the site will get counted as the one, mostly this will be the homepage of a site … for instance, some of the older posts on CAP that have received links from other sites will get more link love than the random post that no-one cares about.
more sites tanking here,
tweaked alot,
problem is you don’t realy know what it is that you have to cure,
filled out several re-inclusion reports,
found only 3 scraped pages
(worst one is a 95% copy srapersite= xxxwww.happygames.nl/gokkasten.htm,
someone has a nice attorny-like letter for me? – could’nt find it back on CAP
He doesnt answer on my polite and agressive emails, his host is only forwarding my request to him)“hat in hand”
You can fill out an official request to have the offending page removed. Can’t remember the exact name, something like “DCMA” but not for certain. Google will also remove the offending site from the index upon receiving the official request.
