Free Traffic From Forum Links Can Be Unpredictable
<< Generate Traffic from Video Marketing Programming & Design >>
In theory, it’s all rather simple. You join a forum. You set up an account with a signature line linking back to your website. You begin posting on the forum, providing high-quality information and hoping to get some attention for your site.
Then you notice that the signature that appeared within your user control panel isn’t showing up on the actual forum site. What’s happening?
It might be a forum rule. They’re often overlooked, hidden in stickies on the top of threads or buried.
Many forums don’t allow new members’ posts to include a signature.
Others allow the signature, but apply a “no follow” tag to the photo.
There are many variations of the limitation, all of which are designed to stop would-be forum spammers from practicing their evil deeds.
If you’ve been trying to make something happen in at forum and can’t see your signature, start checking the fine print. You might not be eligible. You can either run off to another forum in search of a new link fix or you can wait it out and “earn your stripes“.

I have noticed that this really works. I am using google analytics on my blog and I can clearly see that I get a lot of traffic from my signatures on different forums.
