For the first time in 10+ years I started carrying a sig at the beginning of September to push my tutorial site. I was up to a few hundred visitors daily within a couple of weeks, so it was effective, but actually GFY was the least productive board.
I can only guess why - a combination of the speed at which threads scroll away and a high percentage of non-webmaster traffic - and I could be way off the mark. Ironically, because it has the most restrictive sig rules, GG&J has generated the most visitors and I suppose that reflects their visitor profile.
The spread of actual business from people saying "I saw your sig on..." and spending money has been more evenly spread, but that still suggests the raw numbers on GFY may be misleading for all but the truly dedicated sig-whores.
