Importance of Signatures in Forums

[Jack]

Hello,

Well, if you are campaigning for SEO of a site, how important is the signature used in forums. Are they really helpful in terms of SEO?

Or are they just underhand gaming?

I think links in your sig are a good idea providing they are relevant to the forum you are posting in. For instance I think it would be bad form to have sig with commercial links in it when posting to, say, a computer game forum.

Yeah of course the signatures provided in the forums help in getting those back-links which are so vital for a site and at the same time if the posts made in the forums are helpful and informative to a person they would want to click on the signature and check out the site which would also increase the flow of visitors.

Signatures are not crawled by the SE’s but they may help you to a certain extent in increasing human traffic.
