Only if the forum is configured as "follow". Many forums are "no follow" but you never know which are which until you have posted and check the search engines.

Neil is partially right, as forum links do not count like they once did.

However, the latest word from Goog is that both follow and no follow links do help your backlink profile and authority.

Hello,

Forum signature still play the important role in SEO and yes you can put your signature into your post. Many forums have some rules regarding signature and according to that rule you have to create your signature and use them.

Forum signature is effective if the forum has follow configuration but Matt Cutts said that both nofollow and do follow links are effective but if you do it in massive way then it can hurt you.

Thank you.

Yes of course! Forum signature can help to enrich your referring domains, even you can only get the nofollow links on condition that the forum's popularity is fairly high.

The effect of such technique is slowly diminishing. Keep your forum activities natural. that's what Google wants.

Signature within the forum play significant role in SEO as well as branding. Signature within forum google consider it as natural link.

Forum signature is very helpful when we talk about the SEO. If your signature link is DoFollow, they it is a plus point for your website. This will help to:

Increase Traffic of your website
A dofollow link help to increase PR of the website
Branding
Backlink to your website

Forum posting is a very good seo technique if you do it in the effective way. Try to participate in the discussions in which you are experienced. Do not copy the content from other website. Just use your own experience to answer the queries. Otherwise you will be banned from the forum.
