Absolutely, and we encourage all the RCIA guys to post on as many
relevant cleaning forums as possible like here on PWI, and UAMCC Forum is also a very very good one too, since Russ made it a DO FOLLOW forum. Not only can our roof cleaners get good " SEO juice" here at PWI amd UAMCC, but this forum is also a great place for additional learning, and the chance to fellowship with fellow cleaners.
Since the Google Panda update, the SEO rules have changed Ronnie.
The old
Pressure Washing Tampa link anchor text all of us once did in posts, as well as signatures is not a good idea anymore.
Google has really cracked down on what it now sees as deliberate attempts to manipulate search results!
If you are seeking link juice, you must be careful not to have the same keyword loaded anchor text links pointing at your website.
Believe it or not, a simple
www.roofcleaningtampfl.com, in my case, or a simple
click here to see our website with an active link, can be better then a keyword loaded link.
Us forum owners must act to prevent our forums as being seen by Google as one big Spam site. I have done my best to educate my roof cleaners to protect my forum, and I suggest that whoever is running PWI these days do the same. Once Google even thinks you are a spam factory, this forum can be screwed, seriously!
The game has changed, and content now RULES!
A forum owner must be very very careful allowing
too many signature links these days Ronnie.
Think about it ? Sometimes the text in the signatures can easily exceed the text in a post!
This looks very very Spammy to Google.
At the RCIA Forum, I will never do aNYTHING TO HARM THE seo OF MY GUYS, EXCUSE these caPS (FAT FINGERS)
So, what we are doing is only allowing NEW members 2 signature links to combat this problem.
PWI is a great Forum, with many friends of mine on it. I have zillions of posts here, and I care about this place.
I want to see it do well. It only has page rank one, and that is a real shame. It is truly a monster forum, as far as traffic goes. It is my belief it can do better. The propowerwash URL it carries IMHO is not as good of an idea as a stand alone URL.
This is one reaSON it's page rank is so low. Unfortunately, Google sees it for what it currently is, and that is a part of Your own personal website.
Your website Ron is about cleaning sidewalks in Arizona. So every post here on PWI NOT related to cleaning sidewalks in arizona is a strike
against your PWI page rank!
