I've installed this to optimize things more. Basically , signature won't show for people with less then 30 post count, second signature will,show once per page and if your post contain 25 words. less then 25 words , like 5-9 words, your signature won't show up. Big example the "lpw" thread, it contain posts made of 6-10 words, then the signature won't show up.

Overview
============================

An issue all vBulletin admins must consider is the impact of member signatures on the search engine optimization of thread pages. Signatures add keywords to the page which typically contain links to external websites.

This can reduce the density of keywords relevant to the thread topic, interrupt the flow of the discussion, and allow Google PageRank leak because of the outbound links.

What does it do?
============================
Increases keyword density for keywords related to the thread topic.
Reduces outbound links.
Boosts ratio of content to outbound links.
Conserves Google PageRank.
Improves onpage search engine optimization for relevant keywords.
Encourages users to post more detailed messages (helping you build more valuable content).
Discourages users from posting with the sole purpose of establishing outbound links to their website(s) within the thread.
Reduce the amount of signature clutter within threads.
Optionally applies signature actions for pages accessible by guests and search engine crawlers only.How does it work?
============================

Depending on your settings, this plugin will either:
Add rel=nofollow to links in the signatures of posts, OR
Remove the signatures from posts. Selected this option
Settings Description
============================

Select Signature Action for Short Posts

Select either 'Add rel=nofollow' or 'Remove Signature' to specify how signatures should be handled for posts that do NOT meet the Minimum Post Length (see option below). Adding rel=nofollow will instruct search engines to NOT crawl the links or pass PageRank. The 'Remove Signature' option will remove the signature entirely for short posts which will typically improve the keyword relevancy of the page in addition to conserving PageRank.

Apply Conditional Signatures for Guests / Spiders Only No
Select "Yes" to apply signature modifications for guests (and spiders) only.

Set Minimum Post Length (# of Words) 25 posts

Posts that do NOT meet the Minimum Post Length will have the selected Signature Action applied (see above).

Set Minimum Post Count 30

For posts authors who has posted less than the count specified, links in signatures will be either removed or rel="nofollow" added.

Set Maximum Posts Per User Per Page 1

For the authors who posted multiple messages per page, only the first specified count of posts will have a signature.
