When editing your dofollow signature in forums, what happens with old posts?
-
Well hi there...!!?
Now, here's a scenario:
I've been anchortext linkbuilding (with success, wuhuuu!!) for a client through a couple of months and I've aggregated quite a few links from a series of 'solid' forums. The majority (we are 99!) of links are build using the signature in my posts and comments.
Now my client has shifted focus from this specific linkbuilding task and I have another client awaiting to "take the place in my signature".
How do I ensure that historical posts from client #1 stays unaltered, while new comments have client #2 in my signature?
A few after thoughts:
- Are there any automated ways to monitor the above mentioned scenario?
- What are the chances of getting penalized from the forum, loosing historical comments (links)
Tally ho! ;o)

Thanks guys

Casey is correct here - you don't want to use the same account to start building links for the new client. One good reason to create personas if you're going to be using the same community to build links for multiple clients (arguably not a good idea no matter what).
I'd expect if forum admins catch on to your scheme, they'll kick you (and all of your links).

Your old posts signature will be replaced with the new signature, there really no way around that.
Your best bet is to keep the current links on your current account, and create a new account for the new client.

Guest Posts on Sites With Irrelevant Outbound Links
Suppose you came across a website in your niche with solid domain authority that accepts guest posts. However you notice some of the guest posts are linking out to somewhat off-topic sites. If you already have an article that you think would be accepted easily and all you have to do is spend 10 minutes to craft an email pitch, would you do it? Why?

Guest Post Label Devalue Links?
My link builders are doing an excellent job of creating well written articles with my links in the body of the text. However, most of them state it is a guest post at the top or bottom of the post. I also notice that the sites the articles are on frequently accept guest posts. 1. Does having the label "guest post" devalue the links at all? 2. Does the fact that the sites often allow for guest posts devalue the links?

Followed Links from random forums, is it worth?
I have a competitor that apeears first place in Google with a certain keyword, i explore their site, and they have a lots of forums poiting to their page. What they do is, just go to a random forum, comment some threat and they put the anchor in sig, with that keyword, linking to their page. Well, from what i read in SEOmoz articles, Google its no supose to penalyze this pages? Because thoose are pages (forums) that dont have nothing to do -subject- with the page that apears in first place? Its a good practise? Should i do the same (x2) to get the first place in google? (Sorry for my English) Thank you.
