    It seems to help with indexing but does very little when it comes to ranking

    From a SEO perspective...Yes

    However if it is related to the topic of the forum it may actually be invaluable.

    All depends on your site/product

    Well it does help with indexing, but it also does sometimes help with search results but it will only benificial if you were the thread start since also you also get a link back to your site.

    But you will also gain some click throughs from forum readers.

    just think about it; FREE ADVERTISING so i have no complaints

    good luck,

    Marty

    I had a site hit PR1, then PR4 with only some related content forum links, although it did take about 9 months to do so.

    I asked DaveN about easy inks recently in an interview, his reply was:

    The way I always think about links is…If it’s really hard to get one link from a site then it’s worth getting… if all you have to do it click a button to add your URL then don’t you think it’s pretty worthless (eg. Blogs, guestbooks, directories etc..)

    I dunno. I have heard they don't help much if any so I never put one up here. I have been watching my ranking on two sites pretty carefully so will do a little test and see putting them in my sig helps at all.

    One way to look at it is, the links being advertised and if some topic in a forum is widely read and contributed to, the spiders will index the page and your links get indexed too.

    I think it's great! I actually read them and occasionally click on them myself.

    I do actually click on few signature links if they interest me. But they do help a lot in indexing and pr (imho).

    I always use my sig link for new sites, it's a great way to get them indexed fast.

    Whether or not they help for ranking depends on the current PR. If your PR is low then adding a hundred sig links could be beneficial also for the PR. A high PR site will only benefit traffic wise.
