Have sig values dropped?
 

I see way too many idiots with what seem to be multiple accounts, or they are people working for outsource companies posting away all day long, I can think of about 5 off the top of my head...

Do you think the value of a sig is overpriced because of this?

Or do you think that only the big posters are valuable?

Whats your thoughts?

Its all about the branding.

Bump for branding! :D By the way, wouldn't an increase in post whoring indicate an increase in sig values?

branding is relative thing and the length of it is determined by the real value of the exposed service/product

Does anyone really notice the sigs anymore?

To me an increase in whoring indicates the saturation of the market and the mass of posts needed to deliver the same productivity that at one time you could do with far less posting.

Would you trust someone who you hardly even know, someone that their posts are all "see sig" "congrats to the winners!" and stuff like that to actually reccommend a program to you? I would trust alot of other people on here who actually participate in discussion and have some thought in their posts before I trusted someone doing 30-50 shit posts a day to bulk up enough of a count to get $100-$200 a month for their sig...

I think sigs are still effective if you dont abuse the process. You can tell very quickly who's in it for the 50 bucks a month as opposed to the serious posters, who'm people actually read. I feel the former get ignored pretty fast.:2 cents:

So true, but there are always people who avoid playing by the rules, and who come in and whore it up. Don't get me wrong, I love it when our sig is sported by people, but I'd rather have someone who brings substance sporting it than someone out to make people hate our sigs which adds a bad taste for the program.

its all about the washingtons

Sigs are still effective and noticed providing they are not whored :thumbsup

the value lies in the person,not the sig

Affirmative. :2 cents:

i only see sigs if they are new, otherwise i dont pay any mind to em.

i am booked till 2007

sig whores all the way

Get off of my cloud, media... :(!!

I believe my sig is worth a lot.

its all about branding and pageviews.
respected members of the board ( Juicy's a good example)
sure he posts alot but people also know his sig is worth the money.
Someone who joins and posts like a mad whore for a month and makes 5000
posts in 30 days isnt worth $50. :2 cents:

posting for 10 cents is funny shit... might have to hire me a cheap sig whore

Spunky and Manowar are kinda whorish lately, no sustenance to their posting, just count building....Juicy.....a realm all in his own....

id say people like smokey the bear that are smart, well knowledged on many subjects, and does spiffy shit with their sig....thats where your money is effective and your sig viewed

uniqueness....not....blatant whoring....no need to say...hey this is cool , when theres no real need...if you personally know the poster or the subject at hand then say cool if needed be....but not just because you hadnt posted in said thread yet, thats purely.....wasting time.....theirs and ours...

sig whores on ignore
only way to fly

juicy is pure entertainment value.

I used to not get along with Smokey, but I think we got past all that now... And I enjoy his posts much more. He is truely really a smart guy and knows a fuckload of cool tricks...

i think i inspired people to post more :\

bad thing?

I think you inspired people to work more..less posting:2 cents:

i personally hate it when someone buys my sig, and then i see 10 other muh fuckas with it.

i think that lars is still the first person to buy someones sig.
sleazy's sig i think is still the highest paid price for one.
and i didnt even know that people still paid money for them.

at the time, it was great branding becuase nobody had done it
before. i just dont know how much its really worth anymore.


see sig

I invented Sig Whore.

Not yours baby!!!!

My sig sucks... All I use it for is so I can be lazy and say something like:

Just click the sig below to get on board!

Check out my sig for more info.....

Porn Kings owns you! Click the sig!!

Without ever having to add urls or remember my linking code and campaign I am promoting on gfy.. lol

We are all whores one way or another,sure I post a lot of useless crap ,I admit it.But I have a obligation to my sponsor and don't seem to have any trouble finding any.It's all about branding and I try even though how feeble you may think my posts are.I really don't post that much any more,maybe 50 -75 per day if that.But there is the ignore feature :)

This somehow made me laugh (don't worry, nobody else will understand).

Still getting a good price for mine, except I don't have that much time to post anymore, been keeping busy with work and new projects...

Personally if I'd be investing in sigs I'd be going toward solid people with a good reputation... or the big post counts...

For the established webmaster/GFYer there is still value in the sig. No question that it helps with branding. Should be part of an overall marketing mix to affiliates.

I think things are a bit more realistic now. Sponsors want their $$ worth. So they demand post count and some Q factor. The smart sponsor wants more than just post count. He/she wants some serious biz related posts or something that attracts attention.

My sig is for me :) I promote my own sites with my sig, yeah!!!

Do you really believe Sleazy got $12K??? Or was it some sort of mix of cash/traffic/blowjob/whatever.... and they called the value $12K.

the sheep sure sucked it in though. Made for some nice drama and entertainment.

I don't even know what sigs go for per post.

Anybody got a price sheet?

I couldnt care less who is a sig whore or not, as long as they're a real webmaster. Whether they're making $100/week or $1 billion/week doesnt make any difference in how much I trust the sponsor in their sig.

All surfers should be banned though. Too bad there is no way to really tell who is a surfer and who isnt.

Btw, anyone know where I can find some good free porn?
