    <description> &lt;p&gt;Thank you for taking the time to look over the page, I was using webconfs.com for percentages ... I went back for a look and saw 9% for the word WEB and 8% for DESIGN, from that I thought all was ok.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ll try cutting it back a bit and hope that cures the problem ...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I really just want this page up for phrase DUNDEE WEB DESIGNINGS for the time being.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the advice.&lt;/p&gt;

    <description> &lt;p&gt;Pixeland, Who does your on site seo?&lt;br /&gt;
I checked the optimisation of your home page and its pretty bad, If I was you I would seriously think about using someone else. I have attached a report of the optimisation below for you to take a look at. You have a density of over 12% for the keyword web design. 1.2% is considered optimal for google. 12% is enough to get you dropped from the index for spamming.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are interested in outsourcing your seo, give me a ring or email me.&lt;br /&gt;
We offer a very competetive reseller deal.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Why are you changing your</title>
    <link>https://www.webmaster-forums.net/twf-feedback-and-announcements/what-would-you-think-if-we-nofollowed-signature-links#comment-1244096</link>
    <description> &lt;p&gt;Why are you changing your domain because your rankings drop? Its natural to experience an &quot;up down up effect&quot; especially with the type of link building it sounds like you are doing, bear in mind that when you post a link on a forum google finds it, then other people post new threads, which pushes your thread off the first page in the catagory, then google comes back and says &quot;wheres that link&quot; oh its gone, It takes a while for it to find the link again. also the more sigs with links that are added to the thread will dilute the worth of your link. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you thought your domains were penailised or sandboxed you were very very likely wrong. It seems like you need to think about your link building strategy, not buying a new domain. Forums are not really worth using as a linking strategy, I have my links in my sig as free links are free links, but is it worth spamming a forum to get links of this quality? no way, you would be better off looking at article submission.&lt;/p&gt;

    <description> &lt;p&gt;Well thats true, it has been knocked down to page 5 and 6 from page one ... it was slowly loosing ground two months ago and has now been dropped even for the main domain name which is Qindex, then I tried escaping that and set up new hosting to hide from Google and changed to Qintro.co.uk then that got no place, so i dumped it and bought Qintro.net and low and behold it failed to reach page one ... so im now on Qintro.com and switched off from the qindex.co.uk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To be honest yet again ... the whole carry on has had me on page one of Google for a few months and now the same old story ... it been over stuffed with rubbish and its way back to page 2009 BC.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So my plan ... i&#039;ll keep an eye on what you guys are up to while i go back and forward cleaning up the mess on Qintro. BUT thats as far as im going with Qintro.com&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Time for a new website on photography ... pass your comments on that before its on a downward slope, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pixeland.co.uk/&quot; title=&quot;http://www.pixeland.co.uk/&quot;&gt;http://www.pixeland.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BUT ... In all this I have learned a few good things, I started off with a page with three tables and continued to learn other things. After 3 years of hunting down how to get Googles page one ... I learned photoshop, dreamweaver etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks John&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You admitted here you gave up because we deleted your spammy links. And most other sites and forums do too. Search engines are spending millions of dollars researching, developing and implementing major changes to counter black hat techniques.&lt;br /&gt;
To give the decent websites credit and ban the bad ones. The bad techniques will bite you on the arse eventually, and the domain and site will be penalised or banned and blacklisted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All that brain power and time spent thinking of devious ways to write forum and blog posts with subtle links and keywords for your benefit. And not only do you get naff all for it if the post is left alone, but most times it&#039;ll get deleted anyway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A complete waste of your brain resources, time and effort that could be spent learning better and more professional methods that not only return decent results, but will do so for the future.&lt;br /&gt;
Spam and similar tactics are a temporary and quick cheap method of getting a few low quality links and hits.&lt;br /&gt;
And most humans wont visit them either. I see a spam post on another forum or blog and simply ignore it, as will most people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know people who have had a website online for 2-3 months, up to PR4 and thousands of hits a day. And got there without using any pointless pissy about black hat spam tactics like posting meaningless links in a forum.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Besides the fact it&#039;s a cheap trick, doesn&#039;t it bore you having to go round forums posting meaningless drivel to get a few crappy low quality hits?&lt;br /&gt;
It is very much like going around the streets picking pennies off the floor trying to raise a few ££.&lt;/p&gt;

    <description> &lt;p&gt;I also agree with that, to be really really honest the only reason I joined this website was to use it as an area to stuff with back links. My first posts were set out with a long drawn out story filled with page links back to my web site.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then somebody knocked my links off and made me mime the words you ******* ****, but now that I have used this site twice im enjoying it ... so who cares if there are evil people in here destroying my Black SEO devilish tricks ... and the signature links dont matter either.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lets enjoy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PS. Anyone got any tricks let me know anyway while im here ... no harm in asking.&lt;/p&gt;

    <description> &lt;p&gt;I agree. We may have fewer posters but the quality should go up. I wouldn&#039;t mind if all the people who believe forum signatures are a good SEO tactic stopped posting. Then we&#039;d have much better advice in our SEO and marketing forums, rather than people continually giving poor advice (post on forums, submit to directories etc.)&lt;/p&gt;

I fully accept it&#039;s a bonus if they do, but forums are for &quot;discussions&quot;. Providing advice, helping others, asking questions and providing resources (etc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If people would leave simply because their sig links become no-follow, what does that say about the reason they are here? Surely they are only here for the sig links if they leave the forum due to no-follow sig links?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Besides, what is the big deal about forum sig with do-follow? Google barely takes notice of them even if they are do-follow. And if your website promotions are relying on forum sig links then you should probably be on a webmaster forum anyway to learn how to promote a website properly, not just meaningless tactics like sig links and directories.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m not wanting to sound harsh or offend those who like sig links with do-follow, but this is not what a forum is all about - at all. A forum is a community to discuss, and the forum sigs are there to allow other &lt;strong&gt;forum users&lt;/strong&gt; to see links your site/blog/latest article, and NOT to get it listed on search engines.&lt;/p&gt;

    <description> &lt;p&gt;Now this forum add links only good post so it not need to add nofollow links on signature. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you use nofollow links, lots of members stop actively participating this forum. Very popular forum digitalpoint.com not use nofollow links on their signature.&lt;/p&gt;
