    Also does it make sense rotating your anchor text to other keyword phrases over time?

    I would say it doesn't hurt to rotate your anchor text. ;) Like in my Case, I may go with "Topeka Kansas" for a few weeks, then might change it to "Topeka Blogs" or "Transform Topeka"

    I would suggest changing it out if you can

    That helps, but I don't even think it has to be unique :D

    it ain't that worthless at all imo...
    it puts a little weight in SERP and gives traffic.

    Signature links are not worthless. No links are worthless!! It all depends on the quality of the link. I would rather take some signature links from similar forum as DP than not having any links. But I would prefeer links from similar sites as mine, or even better, I would love to get some links from CNN or other authority sites.... See my point?

    it's sort of funny seeing the ppl replying to this, and only having 2 or 3 links in their sigs :D
    You know you can do deep linking as well ;)

    I have used Sig links (about 80% of total) to get to the first page fora medium competition keyword search results. They have worked for me.

    I disagree. It seems that porn is not restricted to only people who are not webmasters. Booty traffic as I refer to it is almost worthless though.

    I read from sometime ago this guy tested with his sigs (about 8000 posts). He said he saw results with MSN but only temporary effect on Google.

    I can't remember the thread though ..
