Submit Directories vs Signature on forum

What is more effective in SEO ? thank for advance

 

I find sig links tbh. I've submitted links in my sig to numerous web directories and when I do a google search, the sig links always come up first. . .

might not mean much, just my take.

 

signatures are effective.

 

Both also......

 

Forum Sig Link are More Effective than the Submit Directories

 

If directories are seo friendly and pages crawl regularly then it would be best Because sign link comes from same C class IP...As per my knowledge, it would be best if each link comes from different IPs...

 

Directory Submission and Forum Posting are the best tactics to get good results. Bu t one can get quick results in Forum Posting whereas in Directory Submission it takes time to get the approved site.

 

well I can say both are effective, why do you have to choose if you can have the advantage of both. In directory submissions it depends on the page rank of that site and how deep is your link located, while in forum signatures it depends also on the page rank, traffics and also the number of your post.

 

Signature on forum is some helpful..

 

Both can help to boost your backlinks.Submit to directories as much as you can and other method that can increase your backlinks. i.e blog comment.

 

both of them are effective and a good source of backlinks...

 

In my experience, it took so long the site is approved in a web directory and sometimes it wasn't indexed.

 

Directory Links will give you one way back link which is count impotent. Forum signature link does not contain to much weightage as SE point of view but yes it can drive traffic to your website.
So Both are important on their place.

 

Both are effective...directories are like...slow and steady wins..kind of thing and forums gives us instant traffic.

 

Thank you for all answers. By the way, I have other doubts.What is the minimum web directory PR that I should submit ?. Because, I don't want to waste a lot of time with directories that not boost my site. thank for advance.

 

Sig links actually bring traffic as well, but if you get a link in a directory such as dmoz then it's more valuable than any forum signature

 

I have submitted my blogs to about 100 directories before I did not feel the effect, but with forum signature the effect is amazing. However, it will also depend on your forum posts I suppose.

 

I, also, find SIG's quite effective for the short term ranking ... But as for long run, more static links are better.

 

i say both, but, in forum sig. you will see it's effect right away... as GuardianAngel said i also think that it depends on the forum same goes for the directory...

 

Both are good.
