Even with related topic posts, are forum profile links really worth that much when it comes to PR/rankings? Or does the like (not having nofollow) have to be embedded within article content to matter much?

HOWEVER - I'm now seeing that even Yahoo site Explorer is tracking nofollow links!

Forum profile links are supposedly for promoting your website and for driving traffic not for backlinking.
1. Most of the popular forums are turning nofollow
2. Forum profiles are password protected and Google does not crawl password protected files.

Hi C. Rebecka, i do not think so . If you check link of forum profile in back link checker tool, you would get do follow link.

Forum profile links are valuable to get traffic only when you are active with several number of quality posts.

I dont think that profile links are useful as compare to the links in the  posts. The post links are useful to increase  the visitors and they can be cached by the google. Profile links may increase traffic but i dont think so that they will be indexed by the google. Visitor will come or not its also not sure as the people dont visit the profiles of each member.

Forum profiles can be crawled by search engines by just pinging them..Or you can compile them in one RSS and bookmark them..In that way, you can get the value of those links..
