    Should the signature line be the same as the phrase that I want optimized?

    Only for residual traffic and advertising. A little bit of SEO but not enough to get you rank high in Google

    Try to use a different phrase for signatures in different forums, and also the signature does not allow HTML code.

    I think you should use BB code since most forums now do allow BB code and disabled HTML code. As what I have seen with your signature links it is done in HTML coding so it will not show in forums properly.

    You can get a little bit of backlinks and seo and link juice by putting your link in the signature fields. But definitely not much as the link juice gets divided among so many links on the page.

    You can basically use your main keywords or key phrases or website URL in the signature column used in the forums. It is really vital and play an effective role in the promotion of the websites over the search engines.

    If Google has accessed to view your forum signature and its dofollow it will help, but thats rare nowadays

    Most forums hide the signature from search engines. Signatures are great to get extra traffic though.

    Signatures can really help somehow in gaining traffic but the main factor of that is to gain SERP rankings in such a keyword .
