That would also be too easy for people to get around. It would take 5 minutes to mod your forum to randomize the bar over the signature. Individual posters could also fool your algorithm by adding an extra line to their signature.

Google is simply not going to utilize an algorithm that is that easy to fool.

However, I believe that the PageRank/NumberOfInboundLinks ratio for several of my sites strongly suggests that Google is already limiting the number of links which count from one domain to another. This is not represented in the number of links which are displayed in Google's link: command.

It appears that two links from one domain are not twice as good as one link from that domain, and that 50 links are definitely not 50 times better than 1 link.
