    Here is the fact.

    When you first start forum sig link building, the links are worth little to nothing. However, over time, people might link to that forum thread and pass link juice to it. All of that link juice gets passed on to the forum sig links. So it builds up over time.

    Depends on the forum. Here, like a few other larger forums pages get indexed fast.. VERY FAST. That said, so too do your links. Every little bit helps.

    As the above it depends on forum and whether the website being linked to has related content. Yes Forum backlinks do help a lot. I have personally seen a dramatic effect using forums.

    Every link counts. The more relevant the better. It is forums about every niche :)

    A link is a link but also remember that using links in your signature doesn't just give you a backlink, it also gives you some presence. Often forums links help to give some traffic to your site as well.

    They are still effective. I have tried that and get pretty good results.

    Forum Signature links are not worthless at all, they just don't get a great deal of juice. But again, it's accumulative ofc.

    It depends. If you have a signature link on a user account with a large number of posts, on a forum directly related to the product you have - well, that can certainly be of good value. If you are interested only in increasing your SERPs, then it may not do wonders, but it will still bring some traffic and occasionally natural links from other users...

    Depends on the forum. On how many backlinks the forum has, on how strict the rules are. If you put your signature on a forum which allows all kind of spammy links, then you're wasting time.

    i love using forum signatures for link building

    if its an interesting or up do date topic then you see the effects immediatley as people physically click on your link

    however, i still have hits coming in from a 6 month old article just because i spent a day or two linking to it on various forums in my signature which raised the PR for that article

    They have some weight but they're not that effective.

    I feel like many of my backlinks are not even identified by google; I have posted more than twice on year yet my backlink count from digitalpoint only shows 2.

    It works perfectly! I've created 50 profiles on forums that "do follow" on profiles (web page and signature) and i get ranked well on some hardcore keywords :). Ofcourse all profiles were added manually.

    Forum signatures are definitely a great value. Usually they cost nothing or next to nothing. With quality posts you get great content with a link of yours on it. The key to backlinks is high PR, quality one-way links. Most of all, quality content on your website is a huge plus.
