YEs it can boost your traffic considerably and also it is considered as a backlink. when you use a backlink calculator it shows names of the forums/blog where your link is placed and if its a nofollow or not.

Obviously dude. Its a great way to obtain traffic and pr to your site. If you have got your sign link in any of the good pr sites, then automatically your pr will also increase. But this kind of action is banned in most of the forums i suppose so.

Yeah, in my opinion, it is a good and an attractive way to drag peoples' attention to your domain. This way, if they will like your domain, then they will definately tell other people about it

One of the best sources of traffic for many including me. Also google considers it as a backlink so no problems with that.

absolutely yes!!...using signature is one of the easiest, most effective ways to bring targeted visitors to your site.Increasing website traffic through signatures is one of the most effortless and passive ways of advertising.

Your forum signature can be considered as a back link if the forum has disabled the "no follow tags" - in which case, SE bots are unable to jump to your site via your sig links

Aside from backlink concerns, forum sigs can draw targetted traffic to your site if you are participating on a related niche. Participate constructively and soon enough, your sigs will serve its purpose IMO
