No one click on signature advertising.
it became boring idea to advertise . is sig advertisers fucked up ? big waste of money

Some people do click but it's more about visibility anyways.
As long as people are willing to pay to have a spot in others signature, it isn't really your problem.

Actually it kinda works ::)
FastDice claimed they had a hundreds of an new account registered during their sig campaigns ;)
And as long as people wanted to pay us to put their links on our signature it means sig. campaigns is not fucked up yet :)

It takes time, if you see an advertisement over and over, ultimately you'll get curious to find out what it is. You can't expect to get instant results with advertisements whether they be signature campaigns or any other media. This is why the campaigns who run longer get more results than the ones who only run for a short period of time.

Dude believe it or not, it works. Take the campaign I work with now as an example, do you think they will run for over a year and up to now if the campaign isn't effective?

Yeah sure it is about visibility, but some campaigns pay over 4 BTC (secondstrade for example) for their sig. campaigns.
They would not do that just for visibility.

Well running a sig. campaign is not cheap, even Yobit with their low pay rates have to throw in a couple Bitcoins because they have many users
But as long as they're profitable they can and will continue the campaign
It proves that somehow Sig campaign are effective ;)

where else can they advertise than to where the targeted individuals who might be interested to their services. They can go with adnetworks but i doubt any users will be interested to click upon seeing what they wrote on their banners. targeted people are in bitcointalk.org so this is where we are. this is where things happen.

Signature campaign has a good recall value, plus the advertisers/sites, get unlimited impression for their advertising. its already a win win situation for both users(us) and advertisers.

I myself clic on signatures and I saw interesting services on it. Maybe i depends on the person looking but for me signature campaig is an effective form of advertising.

When I used links to my own sites in my sig, I always got a lot of traffic from it. But, I can say that I have never personally clicked on someones sig link.

I don't know where you get that idea this is one of the best way to advertise any program or service,it's very noticeable much more noticeable than the post itself ..

Based on my study got a lot of clicks coming from my signature campaign not just from my co -members but also coming from the search engine ..

No, you're wrong. I think it actualy makes sense. Sig campaigns certainly generate the aimed income or else companies wouldn't be wasting their money on them.

Loanloanloan, LOL.  It's always great when you start topics that are negative and you also get bright red negative trust within your first 5 posts.

I always wonder how Yobit has the dough to keep paying out all the users it does.  It can't be a small amount they spend for their sig campaign, and they are kind of a small exchange.

If nobody would click on these signatures, I don't think these campaigns would be paying users to advertise them. Many people do click on these ads and it's more about the exposure and users who wear these ads in their signatures. Hence many campaigns analyse and then monitor their users from time to time to ensure that they are worthy or not to be a member of the campaign. I'm sure they do earn from this as well (especially dice sites).

It just seems that since you have a negative trust, you are upset about the same.

I d also like to see some verifiable results from marketeers who set up these campaigns. I think they do work but I d still like to see some confirmation.

That's not true. If it was no one click the signature then why would they keep running the signature campaign?

With signature service in here they can get a lot off traffic to their website.

i think their profit is very marginal, otherwise it would not explain why they are lowering their rate, since all their earning is in bitcoin, from their cloud/exchange and not in fiat

it mean that there is no excuse about bitcoin being higher in value...

Yes most campaigns got a limit of users. I am not sure of the manager requests it or it is due budget limitations.
If they would make a fortune i am sure they would raise the amount of participants.

I guarantee you that advertisement in sig campaign form works and works very well, a lot of the guys that have run successful campaings get a lot of traffic on their website. Bitmixer has been running this campaign for years now, so ask yourself, why do they keep doing it unless it was profitable? get a clue.

Campaigns sometimes do have a separate referral link, through which they track clicks on the signature.
If they think it is worth the money, they continue. Otherwise, they wind up.  :)

Alot of sig campaign has been stopped due to low traffic gained from the sig campaign. Just because bitmixer is succesfull with its campaign doesnt mean any other signatue campaing success as well since it depends on some factor, bitmixer is qjite popular when you are thinking of mixing your coins anyway

Lowering of their rate s gotta nothing to do with their profit. They have a fixed fiat fee they are ready to pay for one post and I see no reason why would they pay more. The only thing which can increase these rates is competition.

It makes people aware of existing product or service and whenever they need it,they can visit the site.Last month there was a campaign "Black Friday" although the campaign didn't pay the participants but they must have made good business with their signature campaign

This has become like a culture and a ritual in it are these sig' campaign's.They do this just to remain in the market and spending some coins a month might not be lot for them.However,running a casino is a lot different from a blog.

I think it will be only boring for you as you have already got red mark on your trust and you will not get approved by any signature campaign. If it was not worth than you would have not seen this massive amount of campaign opening regurarly and some campaign running for more than 6 months here.

I don't agree with the OP completely , since when new signature campaigns emerge in the forum, they get  lot of visitors  but not all of them click the link in the signature but rather they type the name of the site in their browsers instead so if someone evaluates signature click for the sole purpose of tracking visitors brought by advertising campaigns here, its wrong and should re-think their advertising strategy as nothing brings better traffic than these signature ads.

According to the webmasters and search engine specialist (SEO) , websites must at least stay on the related niche to target users and they recommend to simply insert links to related sites which means these advertisers are doing it right. They are of course concern about search engine visibility and ranking because it adds density to the indexing of the search engines.

How did you know that there is no one click on signature?
I have a referral link on my signature, and I have some referrals atm. It means that there were some people click on it.

Not really I think. Because this forum is the biggest bitcoin community, so I think not waste to advertising on this forum, especially sig campaign. Look bitmixer or bit-x if they waste their money, they will close the campaign.

im using signature campaign too, but when i saw interesting signature on people. i would click that signature.. its mean signature are important too.
so its not like you think that bad.. well without signature campaign i think wont anymore people have interest to posting

Are you really sure no one gives a damn on someone's signature? IMO signature ads were more appealing than those forum banner ads. I also knew some sites not because I googled it but because I saw it on someone's signature. And if its a big waste of money, then why does it still exist?

i dont think so,signature campaign is still effective,yes if you said that no one click that advertise,but so many people interest with that,and many people sign up on some advertise,esspesially signature campaign effective on gambling site.

The signature advertisements are not for the person like you. These for the peoples who are interested in something else . It's still an good way to get attention of user here.Last time i betted on PD now i have seen a signature of betcoin i thought why don't i try this site i went there and betted some coins. So it's still effective to the users and it's nit a waste of money . Peoples like different things .

fortunately not all company have same mind just like you and considering also signature campaign as one of good way to promote their service or website and i don't know what happen with OP but looks like he does have bad experience with signature campaign

I assume most of members who oppose signature campaigns are early adopters and have good amount of bitcoins.They dont want others to earn it and are jealous.That is the only reason I can think of them opposing sig campaigns

Maybe no one clicks on his signature thus he think that sig campaign are just a waste of time :P
But yeah, i don't signature either but i saw a huge traffic increase from a few gambling website after they put a campaign ::)

aga, people are paying money to you almost for nothing and i cannot understand what you problem

It shouldn't really matter to you anyway. Most people are doing it because it's a nice way to earn some btc.

Nobody needs to click on it, I believe the signatures are more for advertisement to get it more known not really needed for people to click on it.

If you see an advertisement on tv, doesn't mean that you have to buy something. It's just to make people aware that it's available.

Signature campaign is not just waste of time in my opinion is the same for those advertisement boards in freeway.
With this is with bitcoin and with bitcointalk there is no problem with it and you can earn money with it and is always a good idea for us and for them. Not all people can earn bitcoin that is easy and with signature campaign is a great think to have.

You're a newbie how can you tell,is this to discourage advertisers to launch this kind of campaign ? In my opinion this is one of the right way to advertiser this forum is well indexed so all th epost will show up on the search engine and readers and visitors will be exposed on all those signature campaign this thread could give you a negative trust

I do! And about "big waste of money" I will advise u to go and check how much money coca cola, nike, adidas...and many many other spend on advertising.
I get what u wish to say, it would be much better to use all that money in something better. Marketing industry is bigger and bigger each year, so instead of fighting against it maybe its better to join in one.

Yup I think he is jealous that he doesn't have a signature campaign. Having some wonderful community here and with signature campaign at least you can ear something with posting and that is great so your time have been always useful.
