Let's say, someone has 6,000 signature links in 100 forums and they are selling a link in this signature for $X a month. OK now you buy two months and have you link inserted. Now you get indexed by search engines right? Now, what happens when the two months are up?

Question:
Do you loose what you built up from the investment? When the search engines re-index those forums, your link is gone, correct? So what's gain? Just something I've been wondering about.

While your link is up, you get exposure and backlinks. Once your link in removed from the signature you lose exposure. The backlinks remain till the next update in the PR databases so you gain PR.

Once links are removed can be lost PR gained.

Is better idea to go with a link building which won't die (links not removed). Probably same costs but benefits double:
- you can gain probably more direct visitors: more likely to get from link directories than from forum signatures, more likely to bet much more with preserved links than with 2 months available links on forum signatures
- you won't loose the links/PR

So i think it worths to do some healthy link building because it would help much more.

Your PR will remain for one entire update after the links are removed so that would give you time to gain more backlinks.

How is it when I have a link to my forum in signature and I've been post in a forum let's say 100 times. Thee are then 100 links but does google count them as one or 100?
And is it even a backlink at all?

May be 100 nacklinks or no backlink.

As you know Google is showing just some of the links he get pointing to a specific site.

Yes, Cristian you are right.

Google.com will show a select few but the datacenters will reflect all.

If you just need a quick boost then buy links... i you want stuff to stick around then you will need to build links the old fashioned way... just my two cents...

dane

I wouldn't suggest buying signature links for the backlinks. They won't last forever.
Exposure is good but what happens when they get banned...
