Sig Links Not Worth It???

Couldn't get ANY answer from some other forums - and I won't mention their names - thought maybe someone could help or express an opinon here...

First of all - here is where I think you can get quality links:

1) From relevant sites (great if it has high PR)

2) Article Submissions (EzineArticles would be the best)

3) A few doFollow SBM sites (high PR again)

4) Maybe a few directories (better if they are niche directories)

I think sig links don't add that much value, if any at all - any comments?

I agree. They do add a little bit of value if they're do-follow, but not enough that you should put a lot of effort into them. My rule is, only post on forums where you would post anyway. Ones that you get something out of.

But it's still a good source of traffic and a way to build up your reputation.

They offer a traffic value, in that people will read your signature and think "hmm that sounds worth looking at", but for linkjuice they are worthless.

With forums you will receive more than one link from the website if you post multiple times on the forum, where as with a article directory or link directory you will only receive only one link;

And the link within the forum is one-way which is definitely more valuable than a reciprocal link.

Well, I think you could do it, but don't centre your campaign on this method. Make sure you don't spam the forum and be sure that its niche is relevant to yours.

Well the traffic value is good which can add to your overall popularity. You would have to be doing a ton of forum posts to see significant traffic in this arena. If the forums are popular and the posts are not spam-ish then your PR can grow because the amount of vistors has grown.

Then again if you dont have a very stiff pool of competition then they can be helpful. I would agree with most everyone else when saying not to devote much time to this. There are better inbound links to be consuming your time with.

Signature links has its own value. It is important to note that when we check our back links in Google, most of the time forum signatures are taken into consideration and therefore it obviates the fact that forum signature has its own value and therefore, it has to be treated accordingly.

Yes, I think signatures links do have their own importance. They can be useful if they are coming from dofollow sites and with high PR and relevancy is must.

signature links may not drive traffic to the site but they increase the links to the site and rank your site well.

The forum signature line should actually reflects the mission of company and its core competency. Plain text containing specific keywords of your web site's core product or service with a link back to your site is just right. Choose the words of the signature wisely and which should attract the viewer.

All links have some value, if not by passing link juice then by increasing your traffic.

Signature links are low quality links in terms of link juice, but they can really pass some good traffic over if you're in the right forums.

I have seen a number of links from this and other forums show up for some of my sites in recent update. So there is no doubt they are contributing to PR.

they do contribute PR provided they aren't "nofollow", but normally the links are on pages with 100's of other sig links so the pass over is pretty small. Besides, if you search forums, you see very few threads that have any PR at all. You could try this:

search in google for:
Code:
"Powered by vBulletin" + "<your keywords>"
to find some relelvent forums. Then choose the top hit, and in Google search the site by typing:

Code:
site:<URL of top hit in here>
then look through the SERPs using SEOQuake to find any threads that have had some PR assigned. Comment on these. You may get some link juice passed. Lot of effort for not much return, if you ask me.

Well first of all, if it is worthless, I don't think people are still gonna be using it. As you may notice almost everyone has a signature link attached to them. So I guess that only means to say that sig links do have its own value..
