    If you are making forum signatures make sure that these are publicly visible or else it will be of no value for SEO.

    Forum posting is best for traffic, not the greatest for backlinks. The reason is that most of the threads will be PR n/a so will not really pass any juice. But, if it is a relevant forum to what services you offer then you will get good targeted traffic.

    -Allows you to increase traffic through repeat visitors.
    -Exposes your business to a wider audience
    -Allows you to gain more creditability.
    -Allows you to gain link popularity(number of incoming links)
    -Allows you to establish yourself as an Expert.
    -Allows you to know people with similar interests
    Forums not only help maintaining a good social media reputation but also increase traffic.
    Anything that brings quality backlinks and traffic is surely going to be lucrative for business.

    I'd have to disagree with most of the comments so far (although several people pointed out the limited value of signature links)...

    Forum sigs have VERY LITTLE VALUE in terms of SEO. Google (and other major search engines) provide almost no "link juice" to signature links at all. I'd venture to say they have no value in terms of SEO, unless the forum is highly related to your niche. Keep in mind, many forum links include "nofollow" tags as well, which completely negates the limited value the links might have had...

    What signature links can do, is build up your reputation within your niche and possibly drive a small amount of traffic to your website. Otherwise, don't waste a ton of time with forums...

    I'll take a different approach:
    Forum posting, effectively. is all about contributing and adding value to the conversation.
    What goes around comes around. If you really care, it will come back in ways unknown to you.
    "More for all" mentality includes more for you as well.
    It's a win-win combination.
    JFK said it best: Don't ask what your "forum" can do for you BUT what can you do for your "forum"
    That will make a definite impact!

    Forum links are considered to be important because they are the websites which have continous updation, talks and interactions so Google makes sure to crawl all those stuff without fail and there is huge chances that your reply along with your signature gets crawled the same day, making it worth while to join such forums.

    Forum posting is good if you want to get high number of backlinks. But I only consider the importance of forum posting in learning something. Other factors are only additional.

    Here are the reasons why forum posting is so important:

    1. Traffic
    2. Backlinks
    3. A place to learn
    4. A place to find solutions to your problems or issues
    5. A place to have potential sales

    The backlinks you get from forum posting are very usable. That way your post on your blog or website will be more relevant to the search engines. It probably won't bring too much traffic from the forum but it will help you in getting one step closer to getting your site indexed and getting a higher page rank.

    Forum posting kills two birds with one stone. It gets targeted traffic to your website and also increases your website's page rank and SERPs. Posting in forums where the traffic is not targeted or related to your niche is pointless.

    Forum profile links are useless for SEO in my opinion. On the other hand, real interaction on forums where your comments provide value can be beneficial. Many internal pages on forums and groups have some page rank. It is important to try to get your comment on the first page of the topic string, as the page rank will not follow to the subsequent pages. You must check for "nofollow' as well, although it is wise to have a blend of regular and "nofollow' links in your link profile.

    I've never seen a huge impact on having lots of forum post backlinks (maybe I'm doing it wrong?). However I have found it useful for getting new sites indexed (especially on high PR sites).
