Forum signature links use to be a great source for backlink building. I had a lot of forums I posted on and adding my signature in those links would increase a site's ranking considerably. Is that something that still works or has Google nuked those?

Google, Yahoo! and Bing definitely take in account your signature links. But just like profile links, where you can build thousands almost instantly, they aren't weighed as much as say a high PR link on a news website inside of well written content.
So if you're targeting signature links just for the SEO benefit, you can pay someone a couple bucks a month to add your backlink to their sig. If you want to get a few extra clicks on the links you can target people who post daily in high trafficked sections and it should get you some traffic. It won't send 100 people a day even if the forum gets millions of visitors. This is because people get what is called banner bllindness and is more commonly talked about when doing banner advertising. People get the same blindness when they frequent forums, they gloss over the signature links and banners because they see so many of them that they become numb to those sections and never click. Most of the clicks you'll get from your signature links will be from people who are newer in the market.
Thanks,
Razzy Oh man, I use to buy signature links on popular forums in order to get clicks and an SEO benefit. I haven't bought those links in a long time because I don't feel that you get a benefit after just 10 links from one site. I have a few thousand posts on some forums and of course my signature link is there. But I don't rank #1 for my anchored text :( Google, Yahoo! and Bing definitely take in account your signature links.
