What is this "buy and sell signatures" thing? - Webmaster Forum

Nicole2112 · May 3rd, 2006

Sorry - I've never heard of buying and selling forum signatures. Is this where you pay someone to advertise you in their sig? Or pay them for the right to use their stuff in your sig? (Do I owe someone money for the mangled Rush quote?) I'm All Confusled...

Nicole,

Its where you pay someone to advertise your website in their signature(s).
It can be very effective/targeted. Some of these people have 1000's of posts on many popular forums.

I wonder if people do avatar advertising?

Thumperfive · May 4th, 2006

hmm... probably the avatar would not work as well due to some boards disabling the picture option - whereas the sig, being just words, works anywhere...

I'd be interested to see how effective it is in the long run for money...

hmm.. can we also sell our MyWebmasterForum.com signature ??

Michael311 · May 5th, 2006

Interesting, I never heard of this. I know for myself, I almost never click on links in signatures.

hwang · May 6th, 2006

I want to know that too.
I've been looking for some people that pays for advertsing.
I don't use my signature for anything.

Yea, I've never really used a signature either. It's an interesting idea to sell signatures, something I think I haven't heard of before either.

Some forums you are not allowed to put links in your signatures. I'm not sure if you are allowed to here. It is a good way of increasing your exposure and increasing Search Engine Optimization by getting highly targeted links to your website out there.

I never knew you could sell your signature space!

bujes · May 7th, 2006

This forum is too small(for now) for sell signature space.

Thumperfive · May 7th, 2006

still, it's a great idea when you think about it!

talk about something that everyone has, more or less...

new · May 7th, 2006

I don't like this idea of selling the signature space ..
.. well every thing is getting commercialized these days

bujes · May 7th, 2006

I will buy some signatures, when this forum grow up.

Maybe this place should be called Buying and Selling sig adspace.
I try to advertise in sigs a lot myself, in the entertainment niche graphical sigs can really help getting traffic from other community sites.

I never thought that buying signatures was possible, but it is indeed a good idea.
