Only 2 years back you could earn a lot of money by posting. This is one of many examples https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/da-dice-signature-campaign-replaced-by-20-973949
A hero member could earn 0.15 a week + a weekly bonus for top posters + loyalty bonus. All of that could probably get you 1BTC a month if you managed to score the bonus every week.
Topic: The First Signature Campaign in Bitcointalk Forum - page 2. (Read 2135 times)
I think there wasn't possible to get 10 per post or similar amount. If I'm correct, there was no signature campaigns in early years of forum. In past, bitcointalk wasn't such commercialazed forum as today. And also, there wasn't so many bitcoin related services. After looked few links provided above, first signature campaigns appeared somewhere in 2012-2013, and their rates was higher than today, but not few bitcoins per post or per week 
. But after small Google research, I can't say which campaign was first. And maybe, first campaigns was called in other words than "signature campaign"?

They have been around since early 2013's and how can a site last that long without any promotion on this forum to survive this long?

After taking a look at this thread, I found out that the thread was created in 2015 and I am sure there would have been some earlier than that. The answer to this in my opinion will be answered by mods or staff especially a thread for the update of signature campaigns I am kind of sure that the starter of that thread can provide a good answer to this...
I was wondering which was the FIRST Signature Campaign in this forum and what was the bounty or reward given to the participants. Was it be like 10 bitcoins per post for jr. member or something? (DAMN!)
Could anyone post the link if the page exists. I couldn't find after googling it.
10 bitcoins per post lol, it could have been if signature campaign were active in the year 2009-2010. i found an old thread of primedice signature campaign(https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2264485). it was a fixed campaign, not pay per post.Could anyone post the link if the page exists. I couldn't find after googling it.
I can't also see what is the first signature campaign but I think primedice begins 2013. There are campaign still running their service since 2014 like the secondstrade.
I do think Safedice was the very first one.

I don't get it, the link which you mentioned is SatoshiDice, not Safedice. SatoshiDice is the oldest bitcoin gambling site (2012), but i doubt if they were the first one who running signature campaign.They have been around since early 2013's and how can a site last that long without any promotion on this forum to survive this long?

4 months later, Primedice created a new thread for their signature campaign which pay per post (Maximum 400posts in a month) https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/primedice-staff-only-earn-bitcoins-simply-by-posting-291387 
I was also searching for the first signature campaigns on this forum for a few days but I found all the signature campaigns started from 2013 and 2014 and at that time the price of bitcoin was higher so at that time the pay per post were not much different from nowadays.
in that year bitcoin prices are already experiencing a slight decrease and also has started a lot of people using bitcoin. so it is natural if the pay is almost the same as it is today.

Just ask Stunna I think he was the very first campaign manager for these signatures when they were allowed to be shown on the forums.
My guess would be a dice site but I think I am wrong there.
Probably a website design service or something like this.

I don't know what site is the pioneer in signature campaign or who did introduce to advertise with it in the first place.
But with the rates, I don't think it's done that way as you are thinking, the rates should be the same until now and upon seeing primedice's old thread.
There's nothing new.

It wasn't that much. I believe at most like a few bucks. I could be wrong and it would be interesting to know.

lol! yeah! 10 btc per post does sound insane. But I am just saying out the possibilities. I heard there was a faucet sites back in the days where users could claim about 2 to 5 btc. Not sure about this.
I think this question would only be correctly answered by very early users such as "theymos"
i did'nt remembered which one was the first signature campaingn, i guess when i first saw this site at 2011 at that time here already signature camps took their places so i guess it would be somewhere in 2010 when the first sig camp strikes here for the first time. but anyway we have got great campaings like one i was got payed 0.04btc in a single week, that time i didnt realised that its price will go so high
I remember Primedice was a great paying gig, Stunna did a good job, I think at some point it was possible to make 1 BTC a month.
This is true. You could make that much a month. And some people arranged flat rates with signature campaigns (they weren't advertised but you could find out who had them from the bots that tracked the posts). The flat rates I say were BTC0.5 per week for some folks. Crazy times back then.

I didn't realise sig ad spamming paid that much, but I'd rather not compromise my freedom of speech, or promote projects that I think are absolute rubbish.
First, who knows?
But one of the best was Bit-x. They had no maximum, used a bot to count posts, and for Sr. Members and up you were making BTC0.001 to BTC0.0015 per post. Almost double what's paid now.
Here's an Overview of Signature Campaigns from 2013: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/overview-of-signature-ad-campaigns-333916
Totally forgot about this, there's a really popular campaign called PrimeDice.
The rates weren't that much higher than today, but the post counts were a lot higher. You could earn BTC0.10+ in a week simply because you could put down 100+ posts without anyone caring.
Of course, that's what led to the greater control over policing spam and banning people that are just here to get paid. It's been a good move for the Forum.

I don't know which one runs first but what I know is campaigns like rollin.io and secondstrade has been running since 2014.
I checked previous threads and campaigns were not the deal but people are renting out their sig space ad it turns out to be like a bidding for them. I saw one asking 2 btc for a 6 month advertising.

The rates would have been very attractive looking at the price of BTC now, maybe in 10 years people will look back at the signature rates now and think the same thing.
I personally think such an increase can't be real. A person wouldn't even have what to do with a trillion and a half dollars. I think that people thought at one point that there is no way bitcoin could be $1000, so yes it would be hard to believe that it could hit a million, but its not impossible. at the minute some are paying 0.0035 per week. at a million pounds that means $3,500......
