I was wondering if it works better to place your site link in the text box. This means that the signature will be posted here instead of a link signature.
Forum signatures help to increase traffic. If you can post good and useful post in forums, people who go through your threads will also certainly check out your website & this can increase your traffic ultimately.
Google gives a good preference to the forum signature. Forums get updated and contains different kind of quality information search engines cache forums so frequently that the signature gets a instant cached. There is a very less chance for loosing this link. Where as in free directory there is a huge chance of loosing the link or not getting the link.
