    Forum signatures have a value relative to number of posts rep etc

    And if used correctly will bring in click through traffic to the URL link

    Also, depends on the Pagerank of the forum where your sigs were placed.
    A sig here in DP will obviously be much more valuable than a sig in any new forum.

    Dont you think that acts like the bush things ? something like "google bomb'?
    the signature acts like the content. What if you include the desired anchor text in the signature?

    Ofcourse, that can act like a google bomb;)
    You can have whatever anchor text you want.

    Pr is not that important .. good rankings are far more important ... and I doubt the forum signatures will have any weight in the SERP.

    I think both page rank and rankings are important for a website.

    yes forums signatures are very important as they also send you a good number of visitors to your site

    but why all of the forums pages are not getting indexed by Google

    It's because Google only shows you partial results. They're trying to filter pages from a website thats why you're seeing few results only. ;)

    Not sure about the effect on pagerank, but as long as you say something interesting, the traffic can be handy:)
