What is a "no index attribute" ?

^New version of nofollow perhaps?

Many forums spiders can't see signatures, others are nofollow.

The forums may have a nofollow in their robots.txt , Try downloading their robots.txt and see what it says.

either way, Sigs are not that important.
Infact you will probably get more visitors from "clicking" your sig than through any form of SEO that it may help ( if any )

Sigs can help with SEO, you just need to have MANY.

**ThailandForum** · 03-10-2010, 12:37 AM

^Not so sure about many, lets for arguements sake say you post something interesting and useful to people, others may copy and or paste it and link back to your post, you then have inlinks to your post with your sig in, 10,000 posts of no interest create no inlinks therefore isn't considered of interest by search engines..

You can check a forum for cache threads by using google cache command. Then you can reply on cache threads. Then you dont have to worry about getting indexed.

**ThailandForum** · 03-11-2010, 01:34 AM

^Depends whether google thinks the thread is worth reindexing though I would have thought, plus it's a lot of effort for what is basically a tiny little bit of benifit at best.

But you forget that there are two type of forum do follow and no follow. If you submit many post in forum which no follow that meas there is no meaning of its. First you check that you submit in forum is do follow ya no follow.

Maintaining Relevancy is always important, you cannot run around posting in each and every thread you find in a forum and expect the spider to crawl over your link.

This attribute is used to prevent a page to listed on Google index pages and the links linked to it.

That would be a good way of saving on bandwidth

What example do you want? Chrishirst.

Here is a one example.
<html>
<head>
<title>...</title>
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
</head>

That is NOT a "noindex" attribute THAT is a meta ELEMENT
