yes signature are valuable. i have got three back links from my signature. Many people click on signatures and landed on your web page thus it helps increasing your visitors(traffics).
It is useful in getting some visitors and many backlings- very easily. so do it maximum on number of forums.
Its really best for brand advertising, if people see your link in many signatures it will have a positive effect on reputation.
What would you say if I manage to take links from pr 5 pages in forum web sites? How beneficial it is if it is compared to other static web sites?
forum signature is most valueable for backlinks .. always try this to get backlinks fast .. keep it up
From my personal experience forum signatures are valuable only as long as you keep posting in the forums and those signatures keep getting crawled, just for the sake of backlinks, it may have some value but very minimal in comparison to other kind of backlinks if you dont keep posting and displaying your signature to the bots time and again.
They can be helpful for new websites to get noticed by search engines, but if your site already has good rankings, they're not going to make any difference.
In general if we are speaking forum signatures will only help if u keep on participating in forum # U will get noticed among the forum # Ur signature is visible to all members which will increase the traffic #Once u are active backlinks will increase slowly
I think they can help you somehow, they ara not as efective as natural backlinks, but at least they give traffic and a litle PR improving. The more important to me, when geting signature links, I also get more knowledge. That would be great for me
I have been able to get quality backlinks and had my site indexed instnantly by placing links on those forums on which i am active
The value of the forum and the type of the link is very important. If the forum is in "most popular" list and the links are "do-follow" - it will be not very important what is the forum topic I think.
In my opinion, forum signatures are nearly equal to the weight of a link coming from blog commenting. If you are going to invest a lot of time for that, its not worth it. Just get it one a while or if you naturally post in some forums.
