Do forum signatures really help?

[stevepeterson]

I have forum accounts on various sites and I am wondering how much a signature really helps. Let's say link to one of my sites from my sig line here with the anchor text "anchor text choice one" and from another forum I link to the same site with "anchor text choice two."

Would this help my site? I know I only have a handful of posts here, but I have a lot of posts on other forums. Just wondering how much this helps.

Also, is it a bad idea to link to let's say two of my niche sites here and then the same two on another sig? Or should I mix it up: like link to two sites here and link to two different sites on a different forum sig?

well they are counted by search engine including google but they need to be relevant are the linking to a page that has similar information my signature is not so the the quality of the back links are very low and i would need thousands of them to get a good affect.

Im also curious about the same links everywhere has anyone tested that.

Forum signatures will really help if they are do follow with high PR.

You post on relevant forums and include links in your posts to your site. You also take advantage of the signature feature so that every one of your posts has an optimized anchor text link to your site. And because forums don't have no follow in their user’s generated content very often.-if you start a thread yourself, you can control the title and much of the content of the page your link will sit on, thus ensuring relevancy in the eyes of the search engine.

Google like fresh link but they don't like spam,...and forum help but posted on forums gradually.

Google bots will crawl forums regularly, so having a signature link in a category related to the forum will definitely make Google crawl your site often.

Yes, signature forums really help, because when you answer in forum you have new post and search engines likes new content.

If it is a do-follow one, then the link within the forum is one-way which is definitely more valuable than a reciprocal link, and forums are always updating and search engines love webpages which update on a regular basis with new content.

Yes, they will help if they are dofollow.
