There are a lot of advantages to having your website link in your forum signature. I’m not suggesting you join a forum in order to spam them with your site URL, but if you going to be using the forum anyway you might as well take advantage of the benefits of having your website advertised in the signature of your posts.

Here is a list of the advantages to having your website URL in your signature:

> Your site can get spidered and indexed faster by search engines. For a new site this is important as you want to get it off the ground as fast as possible.

> If the forum is relevant to your site you will likely see traffic from members and guests visiting your site. Even if it’s not relevant you should still see some traffic.

> You will accrue backlinks to your site more quickly.

> The more posts you make and the more you contribute the more links you have pointing to your site.

> You can have multiple links to your sites allowing usually as much as four. Thats four sites being promoted at once.

> If people like your posts and consider you a valuable member of the community your site could see a vast increase in traffic for sometime.

> If you have a vast amount of posts and would rather make money from your signature. You could always sell some of the link spots for a monthly price. The more posts you have the higher the price.
