I normally try to make my signature simple and neat. I normally just use my name, website name and link.

Should I be adding a second link as I see many people do?

Stefani, it's really a matter of personal preference - as well as forum guidelines.

That being said, I never use more than one link in my signature.

David, would you give the same advice for a signature (resource) box in an article.

No. You have a lot more leeway with a resource box. Most publishers allow you to have at least two links in your resource box. But I wouldn't go beyond two links.

Just like a resource box, your sig file has 2 purposes. To get traffic and for building backlinks. Sometimes I would put an anchor text and a full URL in my sig. List down the benefits and make them curious on what your business has to offer.

You should add a second link if you think it is interesting for you.

Personally I think it looks better to have just one link. When I see more links
I am not more interested, I just see it as an information overload.

I agree, Ines. Multiple links in a forum signature are a huge turn-off for me.
