Thanks guys, I wasn't 100% sure. Was hoping Jim,
our resident SEO expert would see this and weigh in too. Thanks Jim!
My FEELING about forums and I have TONS of backlinks in TONS of forums is this...
and it's only a feeling, nothing proven or scientific.
I think forum links add up cumulatively but count in a
watered down fashion when you have a bunch at one forum.
So for example if you had 100 links at 100 different sites, forums, blogs etc.
- it would count a lot more than 100 links from the same forum.
(Assumption in both cases being that they were all well targeted and do follow links.)
If every forum link I had carried full weight,
5 Star would be much higher than it is.
