    Hello guys,

    i m wondering about putting a signature, i know they help if so many people put them in sigs they can hardly be all wrong, but i m wondering how much power do they have compared to theme links or high PR links.

    In MSN, Is it better to go for fewer good theme links or lots of forum and other low PR links?

    Signature links have little if any value in terms of placement in the serps. The real value of signature links is traffic to your site/service.

    They also typically can help you get indexed.

    They really help to increase you link numbers and get the SE's to you site. I am doing a little experiment, only linking to a site through some forums and googles sitemap, we will se how it goes.

    As far as getting a lot of traffic, you really should look into gaining backlinks, via pay or partner exchanges... Good luck

    I am a bit suprised by the number of hits I find in my sites from URLS listed in membership profiles for various forums. Seems some people troll forum memberlists for things to look at...
