I'm not sure they carry much PR or anything like that, but I don't think they do any harm. If I did, I wouldn't bother with one... Smile

It adds up over time, IMO. There are a set keywords that I'm targeting using signature links, and I'll see what happens.

Be sure to report back - Sig links are more for humans than search engines though.

Hi

As your presence becomes more frequent on a forum and the advice you give is good then I think out of curiosity people click through a sig link to see what you are about, what you do etc

I'm not convinced on how beneficial they are as far as anchor text is concerned. Their main benefit IMO is just through other forum members seeing them and clicking through.

Signature link is great ! .... first you get some visitors, second you get backlink, and third most important ... you can really get spidered quickly if you have signature on forum with a lot activity.

Secret is more activity forum has ... more are SE spiders over it !

Signature links really do work well. If you're helpful, or just a good poster, people will probably click the links. It also does help your search engine ranking, at least on popular forums it will help.

On sites like SitePoint and NamePros a signature link can be very good, especially if you're active and post in active topics.

Sitepoint no longer makes sig links visible to SE though.

I've never really thought about it, i know that a few of my members found me because of a sig link, so i guess it isn't a bad thing.

There is no harm in having signatures. They can only benefit you in many way so why don't spare a few minutes and put the signatures Smile

BTW, why I am not able to hyperlink in my signatures? Any ideas?

I think that sigs are no harm to the admin but some users insist on them. There was a lot of negative feedback when sitepoint made their sigs nofollow.

I like links in the sigs just because there is some traffic, no matter how moderate, to my sites from the forums that I post in.

Google counted IBL coming from sitepoint, and sitepoint had very high PR. You can actually get your new site listed in all search engines pretty easily and you can also get some PR just by using sig links in sitepoint.

I actually just put a link in my sig at DP if I ever want to get a page indexed. I make a couple of posts and BANG a day later the site is indexed and usually cached.
