signature not viewed for guest, is this good?

I want to discuss this No.4 from For better Search engine rankings here, because i think this is better to discuss in one thread






4. Really consider losing your signatures to guests (and as such SE) as they are killing the content flow and the same keywords are being repeated to often and may be considered SPAM (google will not return spam in the SREPS) you will also see a drop in bandwidth and page size all very very good for hosting and SEO.

What this will do is make it so only registered members of your forum can see signatures - so visitors and search engine bots wont see them. In the postbit/postbit_legacy template find:


PHP Code:

<if condition="$post['signature']">

change it too:


PHP Code:

<if condition="$post['signature'] AND $bbuserinfo[userid] != 0">

do you think above is right? i think there are a lot of words that repeated in forumdisplay, showthread, or post, like this for example
