Note that no one who owns these companies or manages a signature campaign has responded.
BUT...a lot of us campaigners have responded to collect our 20 cents.
I'd love to hear form the companies - the people that own Bit-x, Bitmixer, Coinut, etc.
I don't care what anyone else's opinion is, it doesn't matter.

If you have ever read about SEO and backlinks, You'll know
The simple reason for the fact that it works or not is , 'If it din't, no website would have been interested in publishing contents'.
Signatures are always capable of grabbing eyeballs of people who are new to a forum/website. While most people here have enrolled in signature campaigns, it might make a newbie get irritated to see the same signature worn by multiple users in a particular thread but I have no idea of how does the campaign get profited by this and pay a member the amount per post. It is a combination of the views it receives and promotion it gets but I've barely promoted my own signature campaign in this forum. I honestly want these signature campaigns to make their members interact with each other and work together for the campaign rather than keep posting randomly in sections/threads that don't benefit the campaign much.
But this whole forum is to appeal to anyone who uses bitcoin, that's all the signature campaigns want. To have eyeballs seeing their logo who have the bitcoin to spent regardless of which subsection they are in. It is brand recognition. You would recognize a brand in the store and probably buy it over the one you didn't see time and time again on a tv commercial.

there we have signature camapigns ~one year old, I guess that would not loose money lot of time. certain that in the end benefits the have.
all it encourages new posts in the forum, and contributes to strengthening the community
Signature campaign can also introduce spam. There are many signature payments that has an automatic payment system and pays users automatically. Even with posting limits, it isn't hard to get lots of account to spam with. The yobit campaign IMO has introduced huge amount of spams to offtopic and many other sections. all it encourages new posts in the forum, and contributes to strengthening the community
It works, i myself tested it. I have an offer I advertised on my sig and added a tracking link, posted at least 10 times per day and I am getting consistent clicks.
How many clicks you got ?
Until now i don't know how much click the advertiser got from signature campaigns
I expect little to none because not many people likes ads and tend to ignore them
sig campaign i will join when i am good enough group
can make good money from these campaign!!
You need to increase your post quality first before joining campaigns can make good money from these campaign!!
I got about 6 to 8 clicks a day, but greatly varies. On some days it was even less. Note that it was only me posting.
Those clicks are highly targeted in this niche, and advertisers will pay the bucks for it believe me.

Anything works with a little work. Take a domain for example. You can easily open nearly any kind of website and it will sit there and generate nothing. Put some time and effort, honest effort into it and it will work.

It works because I'm also curious as to where these colorful signatures lead me to. I'm mostly attracted by gambling signatures and check out if there are freerolls (I don't deposit money lol). Also, it seems to be working as some of them are still in service and still continues the campaign, too.
Signature campaign is a type of advertising and we know advertising works. Is it cost effective? Depends. I think it lets people know about the site and attracts a lot of traffic. To convert traffic into business depends on the product itself. BitcoinTalk is the largest bitcoin community in the world, it is the best springboard for new bitcoin startups. Businesses will not achieve better exposure anywhere else.
...
I just thought of another little wrinkle about bitcointalk and signature campaigns. There are at least two other Bitcoin forums (just the ones I know about, maybe there are more) allowing people to comment to their heart's content.
But, bitcointalk is the only one that has a signature campaign option (program)! At least that I know of.
This makes bitcointalk more attractive to signature campaign participants as they earn a little bit of income. Being able to explore an interesting technology like Bitcoin (by asking questions and exploring BTC in its different threads), and get paid some is a powerful incentive for many of us.

There will be no signature campaigns today if those are not successfull.
Common sense.

Mass exposure of your brand is always a good thing to have especially if it is suited towards a targeted audience, that being BTC here right now. There are only bitcoiners here so of course there are only services and products advertised dealing in just that. It is a perfect match between the two parties involved I'd say.
Now what if a big corporation wanted to buy up this forum? They would only allow their brand to be visible and not allow any of their competitor's advertising real estate on this board.

bitmixer.io had something to say on a nearby thread that I found rather interesting and pertinent:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12838081
Their experience seems to be that there is no real difference in ad effectiveness whether it is a Full Member, Senior Member or Hero Member carrying their ad!
Again, my limited experience with ads is that it is a numbers game. And the longer and consistent the advertiser stays in the game, the more likely success will come. Which parallels what many here in this thread are writing.

It must be working though, they wouldn't be campaigns going on if it weren't. But this kind of campaign just do work here in bitcointalk as players of the gambling sites are somehow just the people who also participate in the signature campaign.
Of course the signature compaign works simply because this is the most popular bitcoin related forum and recieves many hits daily of which many are unique visits too and people do click on signature compaign when the interest them.
Anyways no one will be offering signature compaign if it doesn't benefit them.

I often wonder the same thing. Perhaps much depends on when the coins they're paying out were sourced. It's possible some of these operations paid peanuts for a war chest back in the day and now they're calling in the benefits. Some campaigns must be paying out very significant sums every week or month. As everyone else has said, if they didn't feel they were worth it, they wouldn't exist.
Signature campaign is good advertisement. I started to know many sites because of the members' signature. It is very effective. When there are more users, it will be even more effective.
Works good as it is place of bit coin market and with the good going traffic the mostly works signature campaign.

Seems like they are a tried and tested method by now, nobody forces anyone to put up a sig campaign and there is no lasting contract. The free market would show them to die out if they weren't working.
It depends on the business .... If it's Bitcoin only, there are no better place to advertise than a platform where everything is based on the thing that you want to promote. I
would not go to a flower forum, if I want to promote a Bitcoin business. The hidden advantage is... all previous posts of a user on this forum, is linked to his or her current
signature. So if someone search about something else, they might end up seeing that signature being used.
Most Bitcoin businesses will only grow, if they target their advertising towards a platform with the most active Bitcoin users. Bitcointalk still have that advantage as seen with
these type of statistics --> http://www.similarweb.com/website/bitcointalk.org
It work's. I'm in campaign for the first time, they pay me daily much more then i can make on faucets. I found out about some places from signatures that people have under their comments(mostly about gambling and dices cause im inte I hope it will be like that in future a
I would say that they work. I probably would not even know about bit-x, magical dice and others if I didn't see the signature posted everywhere.

I'm sure it work from my experience wearing a signature tag with referral link. However, it only work best on newbie. Newbie dont know that it is a signature campaign and they will click on it. As a senior member, I rarely click on link in signature. The last time I click was... Probably a few months back. :/.
I would say it does work, myself I have clicked through a few out of curiosity to see what they are all about. It creates awareness for sure.
The same happened to me. People gets curious. I think that is their purpose. More people holding their signature more will try to click it. Even if it is a low percentage that someone will click it that is still a win to them.
For some of them it is about building a household brand... When you see something often enough and long enough, you start to remember that as the default go to brand.
I often forget the smaller websites, but the signatures I see on a daily basis, help to imprint the idea that they are the default and the bigger companies in that field.
You also have to remember, once these people have paid out some rewards to you for your time and effort, you will always go back to them for their services, when you have to
pick a service from different options. That my friend is brand loyalty.
...It might not pay off immediately but it could help in the future, when you need their services.

in the past some signature, went backrupt, because they were investing too much in advertisement
i don't know about their profit, but they are far from risk for sure, i bet they have a nice margin to cover their ass, in the sense that they can actually pay more users, but they decide to no do so

This forum is biggest place for Bitcoin/altcoin enthusiasts and signature campaigns is somewhat cheaper way (as compared to other forms of advertising) of letting others know that you're running a Bitcoin/Altcoin business and if it wasn't profitable a lot of companies wouldn't do it.
This actually depends on what the advertisers want to achieve be it traffics, sales, signups etc but it actually works.

All advertising is an experiment, trust me, I know that from hard experience.
My take is that the advertisers who have sustained campaigns would very well know if they work, else (as has been pointed out above) they would not be sending out BTC for exposure. Those offering campaigns are probably taking a long view... If they get well known and stronger now, they will more likely be stronger players later.
IMO the Signature Campaigns are a great thing. As an experiment for me, as an income producer for those in poorer countries (where $5.00 per week is actually meaningful).

How else would a company get better known and associated with their product if you didn't have advertising. Signature campaigns are a must and is one of the cheapest ways to advertise.
Signature advertising does work but not as great as it did last time. Signature campaigns helps to gain exposure for the company for both registered and non-registered users. Anyone who come to forum would see it if they did not disable signature. With the introductionof signature ad blocking plugins, registered users are more likely to use it to hide annoying ads.

It does work. There was a thread a while ago where we discussed this already. Do you really think that all these start-ups would be giving away money just like that if it doesn't work?
At least this is easy to check. You check the number of hits and visitors before the signature campaign and after your signature campaign has run few weeks. You just check your averages.
I think it works, who would spend a lot of bitcoin if there aren't any results?
There are many active members here, so few of them often see signature & click it
There are few signature campaign which run for a long time & pay thousands members
It's proof that signature campaign is useful or they are too rich

in this case i have to say that im forced to agree from whom who as it if they say its relaible i will get into the future a jr one like but the publicity draged to this forms can be a bit deprciative too for the forum but some are good links and good companyies of bitcoin and they do porsper whaterver its gambing or exchanges soo its a factor to be aweare the signatures read your and others and check if its good to have a signature to get reasanobly payed into the best and more stable one like i will try to do soo my self the next month
Signature campaigns work in the sense that they make people here aware of the website/company in the signature. Saying that, the website/company will only succeed if their service/product is good. People won't use their service/product just because of the signature campaign.
All businesses & organisations are doing it. Celebs get paid to promote products on social media. It's the world we live in, advertise & promote, advertise & promote. It gets rammed in our faces

Of course it works, if it wouldnt work, there would be no campaigns
Of course signature campaign is giving them traffic to their websites, if not then why would they stay here and investing their money
Don't forget that they spend tons of money to keep the signature campaign running

I'm not a merchant, operator neither a publisher but I would like to answer your question with a question also.
One good example of a signature campaign was Bit-x's campaign (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0) It was already running for 11 months and still kicking. So.. Do you think they will stay for almost a year if the campaign isn't successful and working? Come to think of it
If you're not still convinced , you can PM the manager of the said campaign as he was approachable for more technical details.
There are many signature companies here. They are paying a lot for launching signature campaign. Just use your brain to think why it wouldn't work. Probably it wouldn't work if they don't offer good service or products to attract customers. They are making a loss and will quit launching the campaign.
Of course it works. If it doesn't, why so many services offer signature campaign here if they didn't get the benefit from signature campaign.
Even there is still no statistic here about signature campaign effect on every services. But i believe every services that use signature campaign to promote their service got a large of new member register.

It depends on the members in here but yes it works. It's like a commercial in a television where appearance of the product/service affects the way people will correspond to it.
I think too, that signature campaign works. Because, hardly i didn't seen any forum members selling thir signature space for advertising except bitcointalk.org and HF (some HF members do). And advertising by a good and new way will never fail, IMO.
It works and to prove that it is, you made a thread to ask around because it made you curious of how it works.
It works like when you are driving along a busy road and all you can see are billboards of Mc Donalds and Yokohama tires, next time you want to eat first thing that come to your mind is McDonalds, same with changing tires you will consider yokohama as a replacement. It helps in brand recognition.

The best websites are dice games offering website.. They make huge money by signature campaign by attracting people .. Its true .. They make triple of what they actually pay to signatures
i think it works, it attract some players to try out the site that they can see in someones signature and ofcourse all signature campaigns here wont run very long if paying for signatures isnt giving them traffic for their site
It works I think, because this forum is the biggest bitcoin community, the target market is here, so the sign campaign company is not have a doubt to advertise their site/service on here, even besides sign campaign there are company who advertise on banner forum. it's provide if this forum the target market for a company related bitcoin service.
I have no idea, but i see it a lot, so its about time to ask - Does this signature campaigns really works ? ? ?
