How do you ensure that your forum signature is read and not ignored like the tens of forum signatures of the other members who have posted in the same discussion? How do you use your forum signature for maximum benefit?
Here are some tips for optimizing forum sigatures :
1. Do not post more than 3 links. Anything more than that is certaintly viewed as spam and most people will ignore your forum signature.
2. Do not post something like: " http://feeds.feedburner.com/ssrivastav- Webmaster community ". Instead, if possible, post your link with "anchor text". The word "webmaster community" should be the link enclosed by the < a href > tags. This would benefit your link in SEO.
3. Include more than just a link. Be more descriptive around your forum signature and links. For example, use something like "Over 10,000 members in the best webmaster community" (with link from the keyword 'webmaster community'). Or something to entice the viewer to click through to your website, eg. "Submit articles to our article library and stand to win $100".
4. Use at most 3 colors in your forum signature. It is a good idea to highlight the keyword/link with color such as blue or red. Leave the rest of the text in black.
It takes some experimenting to find the best forum signature format for each forum. With these 4 tips in mind, your chances of improving click-through rates from your forum signature will increase tremendously.
