Links in Signature? I was wondering how beneficial it is to promote websites within ones signature in a forum such as this one? Should signatures be limited to the promotion of one website? Is it beneficial to promote all of my websites, which are all fairly unrelated, all at once in my signature box? Would it be better to simply put one website in my signature and promote them individually? Any info would be great! Thank you in advance!

I think you should use the relevant site link in your signature, however it is nothing bad if you use other site as atleast you can get some exposure.

Thank you for your reply Wilson2, but I am still wondering which way to lean on this. One link in my signature, and one website gets promoted. If I have more than one link in my signature two - three websites are being promoted simultaneously, but is this in a negative manner because the content surrounding most likely 2 out of the three links will not be relevant? So I guess I am re-asking my question: Is it better to promote one website in my signature? or is it more efficient to promote all of my websites in one signature, regardless of the content of where my posts are going? More simply; quantity or quality?

Signature links have virtually no SEO value. I would look at them more as advertisements that you hope users click on.

It does count as a valid backlinks unless forum uses nofollow tag for signature.
It does help in getting a better rank in search engine.

Thanks for the info! How might I determine if a forum that I post in has a "no follow tag"?

They really don't help with SEO. They have such little value that unless you are targeting non-competitive keyphrases they won't help much at all. And even then if the phrase is uncompetitive directory submissions would work just as well.

Just view the course code of the page.

As you can see, I stick several of my links in my sig file. It is effortless to do so, and they stay on the forums for as long as the forums last. Sure, they don't have any SEO value, but that is not the only value going!
