I think too it is a backlink and dofollow, but im not sure if it helps or hurts more (backlink on DP sig)... Let's say im not sure if it is good to have backlink to your site in 'link sales' section on DP forum, whether it is on sig or in a post... Heard that google may hurt you. This is only my own suspicion and also thing i heard somewhere which is not confirmed, so my thoughts do not have much weight at all, just a thing to think or research

Wow... this is surely news to me... and a stunning one at that! Care to share the logic behind your observation? AFAIK.... DP signatures are indeed well crawled by all SE's! Regards, RightMan
Thanks a lot for all the above comments! But usually when Google starts listing your backlinks. I have a big 0 in Google! That is sad.
I have 5000+ (post) signature links since january I can not see these backlinks why? did you search your sig link on google or yahoo? site:http://forums.digitalpoint.com yoursite.com DP signature links just bring traffic
DP signature links are dofollow - check in webmaster tools. Anyway, they are counted towards SE rankings
DP forum can give valuable backlinks to your site if you post here on a regular basis. It can really boost your site serps within a shorter time.
