Sphinn Home » Link Building
I have more posts than anybody on Digitalpoint and decided on a little experiment registering a brandnew domain name and building some content for the keyterm "real estate retard".
Will post stats in the thread daily. Curious to see what happens to the rankings for that term without getting links from anywhere else.

I'd expect that the majority of signature-laden forums were marked as Bad Neighbourhoods,

Considering all the external links on the page, the links don't count too much. DP helps things get indexed. I don't think it helps a whole of a lot beyond that. Interesting experiment though.

After 24 hours it has not yet been indexed which surprises me.

Update:

After 3 days the url got indexed. Guess Google sleeps during the weekend. It hit number 1 for the term on several datacenters.
I then added the term "Costa Rica" to the signature link and it ranked number 1 for that term not being on the site itself.
I have to add that my initial post in the thread contained a contextual link to the url, so that may have helped quite a bit.

I've noticed it helps with indexing really quickly, but I don't know how much weight they add.
