I click most interesting signature, but these days most signature looks similar & all of them become boring to see Sad
I think only signature for Full Member or better than could be interesting to see Smiley

If it contains interesting things for me I don't hesitate to click the link. That's why signature campaigns pay for people here. Signatures are great for advertising, even if you don't click links you know there's a site about that.
I don't buy Coca Cola but I see its advertisements everywhere, it's about company's marketing strategy.

Personally, I do click on some links that interest me, but I wanted to know if anyone else in the community thinks that these campaigns are worth it for the company(s) paying for these.

Thoughts?

People might not click on the actual link but it does give exposure to the company.  The people paying for sigs are in the business of getting traffic in the best ways known, its pretty much tried and tested model now.

I click on 'em. Those that I find interesting and new to my eyes. Also I'm a bit lazy typing and all so I do the work of those signature that redirects me to the site. Cheesy

I don't click those with referrals tho. I removed them. Grin

I do too. i think reff link on the signature here is not effective, just for some people who willing to be under reff and lazy people.

Yes, I do. When I want to visit some site, I just click on someone signature because it made me easier to get there.
If there are some referral link, as long as the site is legit, I'm no doubt to sign up under it

On previous campaigns i was part of, i used my own reflink, or used various url shorteners with tracking, so i can canfirm that people indeed do click on the signature links.


Url shorteners are a big turn off for me. I probably wouldn't click if I saw something like that show up.

It really varies on the campaign, and the section you are posting into, but it does work. Otherwise, why do you think people are advertising that way..
bitcointalk is THE best place to advertize bitcoin related services, because targeted audience here is 99%.

Yeah, that's true. It's not so much about getting the clicks; it's more about getting the impressions on the bitcoin audience. Most people think that signature campaigns are all about the clicks, but it's not.

I am yet to ever click a signature on this forum lol.

I have to imagine they do work for the sites though as they go on long enough.

Maybe a site owner can chime in and let us know?

Maybe it is not often in common or maybe i should create another topic but do people check avatars link if any?
I have just joined in an avatar campaign and it seems interesting and it is not directly a link as you have to copy and paste it but if you are interested that is nothing Smiley
I do click in signatures, not often but i check if there is any news in every beginning of each month and i try to keep myself up to date with signatures news.

I am sure that theses signatures are doing what they are supposed to. These people wouldn't be giving away money for all this time for nothing, so it must be working.

Also, this is easy to check. Site operators can easily compare hits and number of accesses before the signature campaign and after some time with signature campaign running and then they would have a clear picture.

True. Also, some signature campaigns post a referral link onto their signatures so that whoever signed up under it would have directly signed up from clicking the signature. It's sometimes inaccurate, though, as some people might note the website down and visit it later directly.

Yes this is a neat feature. Many dice sites are doing this for example, so the signature campaign participant can really get lucky if someone signs up by clicking on his signature and after rolls huge rounds.

do you think the guys who are running sig campaigns and paying for this are stupid if they don't get traffic from signatures?
I am sure they are getting more profit then they spend for signature campaigns that proves people click on ads

That's right, look bitmixer and bit-x. they have been here for long time, especially bitmixer. and i think they earn pretty much amount, so they still running sig campaign.

On occasion out of curiosity I would click to find out about the company, I agree with an earlier poster that it is the amount of impressions which are the main point as this gives the service visibility, obviously any click throughs are a bonus.
