Signatures as search engine optimization
The benefit of forum signature lies in search engine optimization. Due to the advances of forum scripts as well as search engine spiders crawl ability, it is pretty common nowadays that website links shown in forum signatures are crawled and indexed by search engines. For example, Digital Point forum, one of the most well-known Internet marketing forums, has more than 140,000 Google-indexed forum pages as of March 2007, and these pages contain individual forum members’ signatures as well as any website links contained therein.
