In website optimization, the importance of external links has always been undeniable. Moreover, in the webmaster circle, the main goal of website optimization is to increase the external links of the site, thereby improving the website's weight. In the construction of external links, individual webmasters use forum external links the most, with these links mainly coming from signatures. How can we do a good job in setting up this area? This question undoubtedly has its own set of insights for many webmasters. Today, I will discuss how to properly set up forum signatures based on my own insights. Meanwhile, there are several methods for setting signatures.

1. Simple and Plain Type

Relatively speaking, many forums have restrictions on level and signature length, so if you make your signature too long, it definitely won't be displayed. Therefore, when using forum signatures for external link building, the natural first choice is to simplify as much as possible. As shown in the figure: This setting method is particularly suitable for some forums with character limits because making the signature into special effects or eye-catching could easily exceed the limit. Of course, this setting can only be used for external link construction and has little effect on increasing the visibility and exposure of your website, after all, such small fonts are hard for users to notice. However, it is still a pretty good choice for using forums to build external links.

2. Bold Anchor Text Type

Each forum will have certain limitations. For example, in A5 Forum, the number of characters in personal signatures increases with the level. When reaching A4 level, the number of characters in the forum signature is already sufficient, at least enough to place two to three hundred characters, which is more than enough. At this point, when using forums for external link construction, it’s not just about the external link anymore; there are other additional functions. Of course, you need to make your signature stand out a bit, such as bolding the anchor text and URL, as shown in the figure: Everyone knows that the font size of general post content is normal, without bolding or special effects. By bolding our signatures, we can effectively separate them from the content, making it easier for users to see. This not only adds external links to the website but also increases the website's exposure rate. This method is indeed much better than the first one.

3. Personalized Show-Off Type

If you observe carefully, you will find that the personal signatures of high-level members on forums are excellent reference objects. For example, on A5 Forum, when a member reaches A5 level, the number of characters in their signature becomes unlimited. Therefore, we can personalize our signature status, making it easy for users to immediately see the content of our signature.
