Clicking Sigs ----- Who actually does it? - GoFuckYourself.com

NoWhErE · 02-03-2006, 01:31 AM

I admit, if I see an original Sig I will click on it or at least hover my mouse over it to see where it leads.

Funny enough, at first I found sigs to be ridiculous... why would you click on such blatant advertisement? But I see that they actually work. I don't post much, but I get on average 12-15 people per day that go see my portofolio site coming from GFY.

What kind of traffic do you guys get from your sigs?

Jakke PNG · 02-03-2006, 01:33 AM

I have sigs disabled.
That being said. See sig.
I get around 12,000 new clients a day to phatservers from my sig.

Juicy D. Links · 02-03-2006, 01:38 AM

I click em all the time when i see new shit. It actually brought me into new products n stuff

Juicy D. Links · 02-03-2006, 01:39 AM

TGF hit me up bro when you got time. I miss you

Doctor Dre · 02-03-2006, 02:17 AM

I personally click sigs a lot ... see what people have going on and stuff

marko13 · 02-03-2006, 02:17 AM

i click on sigs if i haven't seen them before...

aico · 02-03-2006, 02:19 AM

I click em all the time, to see what's new. Obviously don't click the ones that are big sponsors, cuz that's just stupid.

reynold · 02-03-2006, 02:20 AM

If I have the luxury of time, I click on sigs... But seldom does it happen.

But I do appreciate well-designed sigs.

aico · 02-03-2006, 02:25 AM

what I don't get is why people who put the bigger sponsors in their sigs (TCG, AFF, Silver, TopBucks, ARS, etc etc), why don't they make a webmaster resource page, put the fucking links on that with better descriptions, etc. and put the link to that page in their sig? Cuz obviously only a noob is gonna click those sponsors, so why not make it more worth your time and give them a shitload of info and links.

or am I missing something?

LiveDose · 02-03-2006, 02:27 AM

see sig.

Roald · 02-03-2006, 02:28 AM

I click when I see somethign interesting allthough the value of sigs has gone down pretty hard last few years

ozmatt · 02-03-2006, 02:33 AM

curiousity gets me clicking sigs/buttons, especially if its something new / or the button doesnt explain much

flashfire · 02-03-2006, 04:14 AM

I click sigs all the time to check out new programs and such

mikeet · 02-03-2006, 04:23 AM

I love cigs, just in this thread alone i clicked like 4 of them

AdultInsider Cloner · 02-03-2006, 04:25 AM

What's a sig?

picsmasters · 02-03-2006, 04:25 AM

I do click sigs becouse it.. i dont know i they are not banners and they are related to person im chatting with, so it is rather fanny

picsmasters · 02-03-2006, 04:26 AM

but i can say that i dont like sigs than usually bigger than message itself

flirty · 02-03-2006, 04:31 AM

i usually click sigs especially if it seems very interesting, same as i do want also to check my sigs.

JuiceMonkey · 02-03-2006, 04:56 AM

the better question is how many people READ sigs? Sigs work great for branding, and image.

Also yeah people do click sigs.. it's advertising in the middle of a thread you are reading... there isn't a better spot (besides the skin obviously).

selena · 02-03-2006, 05:13 AM

I've signed up for a few programs via sigs.

The problem lies in having time to promote everything I am signed up for.

opulence · 02-03-2006, 05:28 AM

Release every Sig for great justice.

Jace · 02-03-2006, 05:31 AM

I constantly click sigs, unless they are cluttered and unreadable (like juicemonkey).....I want to be able to skim over a thread and catch your sig and read it quickly, it has to catch my eye, and being cluttered doesnm't catch my eye, it throws me off

CDSmith · 02-03-2006, 05:39 AM

Having a sig is effective marketing because it's right in the threads where everyone is reading and participating. If I see something eye-catching and interesting in someone's sig sure, I'm likely to click it. If the person's not a total dick I might even sign up to their program or at least give them the referral.

devilspost · 02-03-2006, 05:50 AM

I signed up to promote Girls Gone Wild off a sig lastnight

http://www.ggwcash.com

As a matter of fact I wait until I see a webmaster link to signup to new programs to spread the love.

yeah, but I usually steer clear of clicking someones sig if they are a known sig whore or prick...I will find someone I know and like and click theirs, or ask someone for their referral link

pr0phet · 02-03-2006, 05:54 AM

When I first Started in the industry, clicking on sigs was alot of fun, finding new affiliate programs. Nowadays only time i click on em is if I see something unique.

Also I think people should be more creative in their sig marketing

like my sig for example

I do that to but sometimes if I am in a hurry I click to nearest one so I dont have to go back and look for it later.

Stallion · 02-03-2006, 06:58 AM

I click on sigs with new products or programs to check them out.

NoWhErE · 02-03-2006, 10:49 AM

Wow, alot of people clicking, I guess I'm one of the rare few that isn't attracted by flashy graphics :P

The Duck · 02-03-2006, 11:05 AM

Tom_PM · 02-03-2006, 11:09 AM

I first found PimpRoll from someones sig here on GFY actually. Now I work for them and Adult Elite.

I do click them when I see something interesting, or if I like someones post about their product or what have you. Generally if it's a helpful post.. I've NEVER clicked a "see sig" posters sig in a drama thread. Ever.

Tricksy · 02-03-2006, 01:00 PM

I do click sigs quite often. I'm interested in what other ppl do and how their sites look...new ideas, new inspiration for my design projects.

marlboro_xxx · 02-03-2006, 02:05 PM

BAKO · 02-03-2006, 02:14 PM
