    How much does it help to post on related forums with your website as your sig? Does it take a tonne of links or would even a good few help? Its just for uncompetitive keyword website. Obviously it depends on the page rank of the forum as well but even like a page rank 2 or 3 will be better than a site just newly made.  Would it help a lot?

    Yes but it dont complete the needs of the one.. it cant generate that much traffic.

    I dont know how but i have seen users made traffic like 500-2000+ users Traffic a day.

    I wish i could find a way to have this traffic to my desire links. :-(

    It depends on a lot of factors, though any link you can get is helpful. In my niche category, I have almost 120 forums I post reports on every few weeks that include links to my website, and to my blog where 2 links are allowed. Of course I keep the content quality with pictures and what not, and try to interact with people that respond so as not to be viewed as spam. Most are pretty open to it they love to have the content, though some do not. It takes a lot of time to do, and you want to change your content up a bit, and your keyword text, so as not to appear to be duplicate content. I've gotten quality traffic from it, though not a whole bunch, but of course it is people that are already interested in what i am offering, so that is key. I did manage to bring my site up to 1st page for many rankings, even the top 3 spots for a handful of keywords. Traffic has doubled from a year before, so yes I think it is helpful. You never know what link may push your site up to the top 3, often times it only takes a few.

    Links from forums are practically useless for building PR but they can send huge traffic if done properly.

    But it's wrong.
    Signature links does not offer much value at all to search engines.
    And the links on this forum are NoFollow anyways.

    I am 100% sure that forum posting helps to get more traffic..

    Moreover, Forum signature is very useful. if you write posts with good and helpful content, I am sure that people will click on your signature.

    In some way it helps to get more traffic. Offcourse it depends from many elements, it need to be content related, it need to be catchy.

    I think signature links are probably worth nothing or next to nothing. That does not mean they can not be a source of traffic if the signature is related to the topic of the forum.

    It only help a lot for those members who well reputation and large number of quality post. Just imagine, a member who have 10000 sig link compare to member who only have 10 sign links, who will benefit more?

    Relevant low PR forum much more benefit to a site than high PR forum with unrelated content.
