Links from Images Question

[Tro Shi]

I've got some forum accounts with over 1,000 posts on them, and they can use Links in the signature. Now, having over 1,000 posts with the same signature (Anchor Text) is probably a horrible idea correct? Its all about anchor txt diversity so this would have a poor effect correct?

But what if I had an image in the signature that I hyperlinked? Would google think that all these backlinks from an image were the 'same anchor text' or would it be good because its differs? Same thing with linking :ticking: <-- like that

1000 links coming from the same domain (with same anchor text) , you are not going to receive an anchor text over-opt penalty - it really depends on what your anchor text portfolio looks like right now, i.e. if you have a ton of kwd related anchors, id say maybe go with an image. if not, go with the kwd

I really don't think that having 1000 posts with the same signature back link anchor text will hurt you because it has probably already been factored into search algorithms that this is a natural phenomenon. Plus they are all from the same domains.

Go with the links bro, It seems natural and it's on 1 forum (1URL) so it will seem natural. If you go with the Images you will rank that image on google.com/images and not on the SERP's.. If you will have the option to divide the signature then go with it, otherwise as most forums doesn't allow that then go with the Keyword.

Thanks for the responses. Would the same thing go for profiles with 3K posts, 5K, etc?
