    They will generally count for Yahoo's purposes although Google doesn't seem to give the same love.

    Your milage may vary...

    All the links will count each time you make a post with the signature links in place.

    It is another matter however what weight Google places on forum links as Google operates with a complex algorithm which values some links more than others and so weights each as such.

      Yes. They will count individually. But you won't get credit for all of them. That's just how it works! I'm counting (and hoping) on not getting credit for all of them :p

    That's why signatures links in the forums are effective for quality backlinks.

      And WF is kind enough to allow for DOFOLLOW Signature links... So death to SPAM threads

    If the post content is relevant to your pages, that you backlink, then, I think, signature links will definitely have greater value for SEO.

    All links are counted individually but passing only one link juice to the search engine.
