I conducted an ad experiment using (aff). I signed up to 4 new forums, and posted one time in each forum for 2 days. From those 8 posts, I had received twelve clicks on my signature link almost immediately. Using ad tracking, I could see how many clicks I received for each forum.
Forums are definitely awesome for traffic. Plus people get to see that there's a real person behind the "service" or whatever you offer.
P.S. I also noticed that people pay more attention to your signature when you have something valuable to say.
