When editing your dofollow signature in forums, what happens with old posts?

Well hi there...!!?

Now, here's a scenario:

I've been anchortext linkbuilding (with success, wuhuuu!!) for a client through a couple of months and I've aggregated quite a few links from a series of 'solid' forums. The majority (we are 99!) of links are build using the signature in my posts and comments.

Now my client has shifted focus from this specific linkbuilding task and I have another client awaiting to "take the place in my signature".

How do I ensure that historical posts from client #1 stays unaltered, while new comments have client #2 in my signature?

A few after thoughts:

• Are there any automated ways to monitor the above mentioned scenario?
• What are the chances of getting penalized from the forum, loosing historical comments (links)

Tally ho! ;o)

Thanks guys

Casey is correct here - you don't want to use the same account to start building links for the new client. One good reason to create personas if you're going to be using the same community to build links for multiple clients (arguably not a good idea no matter what).

I'd expect if forum admins catch on to your scheme, they'll kick you (and all of your links).

Your old posts signature will be replaced with the new signature, there really no way around that.

Your best bet is to keep the current links on your current account, and create a new account for the new client.
