I have noticed that my site isn't even listening on google when you search the term "Game Network Online"
One thing to consider is whether people would actually do a search using those exact terms? Does anyone every put the word "online" in their searches, given that all the search results will be "online". Also the word "network", who would use that word when searching and hoping to find a discussion forum?
To truly find how your site is doing in search engines you need to use the kind of serach terms that your potential users would be using.
Ok now I am confused.
I meant is this what this is all about, is he refering to my signature? As in do I need to change it to anchor text? But how will this increase SEO, its on Xenforo and not my site anyway?
I have seen many people argue against optimised keyword anchor text in forum signature links, since the Google penguin update. Google themselves warn about this in their guidelines on link schemes. Forum signature links can appear spammy, but as long as you have a nofollow they should be OK (but then do very little to help SEO anyway).
One of my sites took a huge hit after the Penguin Google update, and removing signature links on one specific froum that do not have nofollow improved the situation alot.
The main benefit with links is to get organic links back toyour site, ie not spammy of paid for links - just links that people put up because they think your site is good.
