Traffic and Leads - Members and guests can find a link to your website in your posts and your profile which can be customized to include contact information plus additional information about yourself, your company, and your product or service. (Example: Profile Page)

After you have registered and your post count reaches twenty or more, you may set your signature. This is a piece of text that you would like to be inserted at the end of all your posts, a little like having headed note paper.

You will have the option to include your signature on any posts you make. If you have specified a signature, then the forum will automatically append your signature to any messages you post. You can disable signatures on a per-post basis by un-ticking the 'Show Signature' checkbox when you compose your message.

You may turn the signature on and off on posts you have already made by editing the post and altering the state of the 'Show Signature' option.

You can set your signature by editing your profile.

The primary benefit of signatures is "Exposure". The sales training forum has thousands of pages indexed in the major Search Engines. This equates to thousands of opportunities for visitors to find the forum and see your signature link. The more threads you post in the more backlinks you create.
