    yes. all links are dofollow thus they DO help your rankings.
    This question has been asked like 200 times in the last couple of days.... check out some previous threads for a more detailed answer if you wish.

    It helps, although not so much. It's good for getting your pages indexed too.

    Hi,
    i think if your signature has "Do follow" then it should be give you some benefit for your site. and DP give "Do follow" so it's give some traffic and also help in SERP.

    I think it helps. At least, you gain some clicks from people.
    Traffic also helps SEO.

    Every DoFollow link helps for SEO. Just make sure to use the right anchor text :)

    I think the SEO value is minimal, but the links do generate traffic to my site.

    I think there is insignificant help to your PR, when compare to quality one-way link in related sites/ blogs.

    There is next to no value seo wise from a signature link - everyone posting here has up to 4 outgoing so on a full page the benefit is split between them all. Add in the fact that most of the links are not relevant at all and the value (if any) is miniscule. I usually just stick on my own sites in my signature if I think people here would be interested in it (as I've done right now). I've no idea why people are still keyword spamming their sig links with different anchor links to the same url - its not doing them any good.
