Internet Business Forums - View Single Post - Is this advert effective?

People who read the ad will want to know two things - who are you, and how can you help them.

So far, the first question is unanswered (except for one line right at the end), and the second isn't clear enough to non-techies.

One more point :

All posts carry a signature link
to your website which helps to increase the amount of links back to your website and so improve position in major search engines.

In my opinion, it's a bad idea to say that. It's inviting people to the forum for the sole purpose of getting links for themselves, rather than actually getting involved.
