List of Forums that allow “dofollow” signature links
For webmasters interested in building back links to their sites, this just might be my most useful post ever. Well, besides this one of course.
The list below is of forums (with a page rank of 3 and above) that currently allow you to post signature links that "dofollow". I'd searched around for a while but haven't found a decent sized list, so I thought I'd start one up myself. If I find news ones I will add them to the list. If you have a forum that has a PR3 or above, and you think belongs on the list, let me know via the comments field.
SitePoint Forums PR7
Digitalpoint PR6
Harmony-Central Forums PR6
Search Engine Round Table PR6
Submit Express Forums PR6

Hey, cool idea!
I think sitepoint.com is dofollow if I remember correctly and also earnersforum.com I believe is dofollow, but check before you post.
You were right Scot, both forums allow dofollow sigs, so I’ve added them to the list.

A couple more for your list:

for the uninitiated, what’s dofollow?
For the uninitiated:
nofollow is an HTML attribute value used to instruct search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target’s ranking in the search engine’s index.
So, dofollow is the opposite. So in effect posting (with your site url in your sig) in the forums listed will have a positive effect on your PR.
Nice list of forums there that will come in useful.
Thanks for the list, very useful!!
Cheers
Thanks for share…

Awesome List. I’m checking them out right now. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for the list.
I have been looking around for one like it for a while now. You have come up with a good one.
Another good onoe is http://www.mynextcollege.com. It’s a PR 4, but there are some PR 6 pages as well, including the memberlist where you can post your link
Thanks for the list. I signed myself up for a couple.
Thanks for that excellent list of website forums. Will signing up today itself.
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the tip. Much appreciated.
Good lists. I need more and more forum names that allows sig. It is really time consuming effort to check each and every forum.
I realize I’m already on 5 of those forums already
My site is PR5 now, but just to say it is tightly moderated so joining to post a few links in your sig is pointless, your posts and account will just get deleted.
Just a note… SEO rountable requires 25 posts before you can post links or a signature. Probably not worth it if you just wanna post links. But, there is good news; the site has alot of great content.
wow thanks for that list. I been looking for some dofollow forums!

The latter (Code4Gold) is my forum. It’s not as active as DigitalPoint but we’ve SEO optimized it for the top posters on the forum to get the most juice to their profile pages which can include websites, blogs, Squidoo pages, etc…That’s in addition to nofollowed signatures.
We are also a revenue sharing site (only for quality members) like DP except we are revenue sharing with Adsense, PepperJam, Clickbank and TNX.

OOH, thanks! I was specifically looking for do follow forums…usually I can only find do follow blogs! Super!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful resource.
Thank you so much! This is very kind of you to allow us this information.

So do you think it does help to leave comments in forums? Another SEO site said that it made no difference at all and would be a waste of time. Thoughts?
If you create 1000 posts in a forum that allows dofollow signatures, it stands to reason that it would have some effect. Whether it’s a significant effect or not I’m not sure, but it’s worth a shot IMHO.
Plus if you make enough quality posts on a forum, especially if you’ve helped someone (so they trust your expertise), they’re bound to see what else you’ve got going on, especially if it’s related.
So on top of some PR, you get actual visitors… Which is the point of all of this stuff, right? If you’re making posts on a forum anyways, you might as well not be shy and have a link to your works available.
Hi,
Could you add my forum to this dofollow list

[...] 1. Forums Join forums and start promote your website. Forums are a great way to gain backlinks, in most forums you are allowed to put in your signature links to your website. Another way to gain backlinks from a forum is opening threads and writing about your website, so you will get targeted traffic and backlinks for your website.
