Try to be active member. If you have many posts on a forum, people can follow the signature link.
So the more posts the more visitors.

I think forum is not the best place to get traffic, however it can benefit you. I am members of many forums, and I get more traffic from which I am active and make quality posts. Signature can be less effective. People come to forums to get information or even to ask simple things. Answer their questions with suitable links. In other words, look for posts that ask about the information you have in your websites so they will positively click your link.

Forums can be an effective way to drive traffic to your website, but it's not necessarily the best or only method. Forums can provide a platform for engaging with a specific community, sharing knowledge, and building relationships with potential customers. However, their effectiveness can vary based on factors such as the niche, the quality of content and discussions, and your ability to contribute in a meaningful way. It's important to consider other strategies like search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing, guest blogging, influencer collaborations, and paid advertising to diversify and maximize your website traffic.

strategies to consider for driving traffic to your website:

1. Content Marketing: Creating and sharing valuable content (blogs, articles, videos, infographics) that is optimized for search engines can attract organic traffic and establish you as an authority in your industry.

2. Social Media Marketing: Utilizing platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest to promote your website content, engage with your audience, and drive traffic.

3. Email Marketing: Building an email list and sending out regular newsletters or promotional emails can drive traffic to your website by keeping your audience informed and engaged.

4. Influencer Marketing: Collaborating with influencers in your industry to promote your website or products can help you reach a wider audience and drive targeted traffic.

5. Paid Advertising: Running targeted ads on platforms like Google AdWords, Facebook Ads, or Instagram Ads can help increase visibility and drive traffic to your website.

6. Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Optimizing your website with relevant keywords, meta tags, and high-quality content can improve search engine rankings and drive organic traffic.

7. Guest Blogging: Writing and publishing guest posts on influential websites in your niche can help drive targeted traffic back to your own website.

8. Online Advertising: Utilize online display ads, such as banner ads or pop-up ads, to generate awareness and direct traffic to your website.

9. Social Bookmarking: Submitting your website content to popular social bookmarking sites like Reddit, StumbleUpon, or Digg can help attract traffic and increase visibility.

10. Online Directories: Listing your website in relevant online directories and industry-specific listing platforms can improve your website's visibility and drive targeted traffic.

11. Webinars or Online Events: Hosting webinars or online events on topics related to your industry can attract attendees who are interested in your expertise and subsequently visit your website.

12. Collaborative Partnerships: Partnering with other businesses or influencers in your niche to co-create content, cross-promote, or run joint campaigns can help expand your reach and drive traffic.

13. Commenting on Blogs or Forums: Engaging in discussions on relevant blogs or forums by providing valuable insights and leaving a link to your website can drive traffic from interested readers.

14. Podcasts or Interviews: Being a guest on podcasts or participating in interviews related to your industry can help you reach a new audience and drive traffic to your website.

15. Offline Promotion: Don't forget about offline marketing! Promote your website through traditional methods like business cards, brochures, flyers, and local advertising to attract local traffic.

For improving your traffic from forums, you have to contribute fruitfully. First of all, you have to build your reputation so that people actually start considering your advice. Add a good signature and stay away from blatant promotion.
Forum alone won't give you huge results. You need to try many other methods like,
- Blog commenting
- Guest blogging
- Social bookmarking
- RSS submission
- Social networking websites
