    I agree. Signature can generate traffic, but has little use for SERP.

    I think Links from forum signature is best method to do link building. Forum links have more value in terms of Search engine ranking rather than a directory link.If you join forums related to your website then you may also get some targeted traffic from that forum.

    I agree with this thing that if you are not doing anything like this then it can be effective for gaining quality backlinks to the site.

    I think it helps but not that much since forums have lots of outbound links

    Maybe not a lot but if you are active in the forum I'm sure they will add up.

    This is the same answer i would have given.
    The value of the forum signature depends on the following factors.

    1. The niche of the forum and also the content of the pages where the signature is visible. It means that even if you have a signature in DP but if you post only in general chat specially in threads for TV serials it can benefit only a TV serials niche based website.

    2. Whether the Forum is do follow or nofollow.
    3. What is the value of the forum itself. A very popular forum gets each and every new post made indexed in google within minutes.
    4. How many external links are there in the threads where you post. Also how much quality content those pages contain.
    5. All the other general characteristics of good and bad backlinks apply.

    Yes they do, but not too great, because as you see, forum signature comes from PR n/a pages, there are many signature on one page.
    Which mean the quality is very low.

    This is the correct answer, and precisely why I do it. It's not the end-all be-all traffic builder, but it helps. As to why DP, imarketing2010 answers this as well.

    It is valuable if the forum is dofollow. And it is also valuable to promote your websites and product.
