MARKETPLACE FOR PAID ADVICE LIVE BROADCASTS
I never click on forum links, you never know where you will arrive, if the website is safe or stealing your personal data.
I am paranoid, I guess.

Doesn't use these forums that often.
I make my signatures colourful, interesting and unobtrusive.
I include WhiskChat (which is basically CoinChat, a service by TradeFortress) because I made the client, and I include Inputs because it's cool. TF has ignored me on Bitcointalk, so I don't think he'll be paying me for either of those Wink
I'd be glad to share the code for my sig, if you want it. Smiley

How do you know if something is a paid ad?
Colors + big font + glow + shared by several low activity accounts

you could use an url shortener with tracking to record the bitcointalk stats.

Bitcointalk uses SSL, so no - HTTP REFERER is not passed through. However, my CoinChat advertisement contains the r:sigad tracking code, and many users are from my signature.

I am wondering if all those links people put in their signature space are actually worth anything? Do you ever click on links in ads in signature space? Or do you just have the signatures turned off?
Yes, people do.

Are you able to determine the number of people who visit your sites using the signature links, i.e. views which originated from the bitcointalk domain?

You can also misuse it to Tip someone, but obviously not from your Wallet
and most People click a few hundred Link's per Day, one more doesn't matter.
I click if i don't know what it is


Most Referal Links got a Random Number or Letters when you hover over it.

I do click on peoples' links in their signatures (usually out of curiosity) but I don't click on their paid ads' links.

I used to have a paid ad in my sid. It's pretty obvious. It looks something like this:

I have never clicked on any signature links.

I may if you'd pay me though.
