Bitcoin Forum

I have searched all over the google and found that bitcoin community is much larger and a large number of companies are working with bitcoin. But why there are only a few signature campaigns in this section?

It's just a way to advertise, some companys use banner ads, others are using signature campaigns, others don't advertise.
Here you can see a list of signature campagins https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0)

I don't think there are very few signature campaigns on this section. From the thread where all campaigns are listed if you check you will see that at least 10 signature campaigns are active and enrolling is going on. There are also a lot of other signatures but they are closed for new participants. Since you are a newbie start raising your account and wait for new signatures campaigns when you will be at least member rank.

There are always new campaigns that want exposure and this forum is the best exposure to bitcoin related websites.

There are a lot of possible explanations. Some companies may rely entirely on the word of mouth, others are already big enough and simply don't need advertising here. A few former startups (for example, PrimeDice) had been actively using signature campaigns in the past, when they just started operations and were looking for publicity, but right now they are well known, prosperous, and don't need such form of advertising any more.

I think you don't check carefully service announcement section have also signature campaigns.there have many signature campaigns and list increasing continuously.most of the  signature campaigns are related to bitcoin.still don't have many bitcoin related companies that's why we dont see much signature campaigns as we expected.

There are few signature campaigns in this forum because there are most likely not interested in providing a signature campaign. There's also the fact that some signature campaigns have closed their signature campaign in the past(such as bit-x). I think that these reasons are why there are few signature campaigns.

Many bitcoin related companies choosing other ways how to promote their businnes. They are using ad networks, buying ad spaces on websites or using social networks for advertising. They don't choose signature campaigns to advertise service for few reasons. They thinking that other advertising methods are cheaper and more effective. And maybe they don't have knowledge about signature advertisement and they don't look serious into it.

The number of signature campaigns in this forum is good considering altcoin signature campaigns , the main target for any signature campaign is advertising a site or service , but when the site become well known , the site owners will stop advertising it , because they achieved their goal.

But is not including the alt campaign if you want for calculating with also alt campaign I think the result will more than 20 sign campaign, but a lot of companies already trying for advertising their site in this place already a long time ago.

Other than that this forum is not the only point of the campaign there are many sites offering publisher services
Bitmedia , mellowads , a-ads also google adsense in general, the campaign here is a gambling site because they're targeting users in this forum
does not make sense if the gambling sites to advertise outside of this forum they will be unable to compete with other sites that use dollar and local banks

If you check the signature campaign overview thread you will see that there are more than 20 active campaigns listed atm,I wouldn't say that they are few.
Also not every Bitcoin related company is interested to advertise through a signature campaign here,some of them choose a different way and some do not even need to advertise since they are already well know.

Maybe that list is not enough for him to be seen, and also maybe he wants to find more campaigns so people can havr many choices to joined with, but also i think for this one some other site don't have budget allocate to run a campaign aswell us others are doubting to build since thered no gaurantee that they will success to their act if they cannot sustain it for many months longer, and that scene really are most likely reason why others cant affor to run a campaign.

I have an opinion that bitcoin's value has moved away from the original community and is now a more serious currency in the world.  This means there is less value to spread around on forums and such.  Just a theory.

a few? it's a lot of siganture campaigns in here man, i doubt if you already checked all of section from this forum, now, you should check in service section for Btc siganture campaign and marketplace section for alt coins signature campaigns.

There seem to be many more than there were a short while back. I don't know how many of them are attempting to scam their members by using them for advertising and then skanking them though.

It must be a prize pain up the arse running a sig campaign to the satisfaction of the forum operators. I'm surprised there are as many successful ones as there are.

There used to be more higher pays and better campaigns tbh.  Everyone has finally adjusted to the new higher value bitcoin which is great.

you were too lazy to look at the whole entire of this forum because there are some thread for signature campaign overview

and most of them also have new update almost every day such as at indonesian local board

because it costs alot of coins to run a decent signature campaign here:
it could cost you 0.5+ btc a week,so you would spend 2 btc+ a month
not every bitcoin company is willing to spend 1.200$ to cover just one advertisement option-signature campaign
as popular as bitcointalk is ,there are many other,cheaper ways to advertise your services:banner ads,text ads,paid-to-click ads,articles,reviews etc.
the key word  is efficiency

I'd be surprised if any of your above options were much cheaper in the great scheme of things. Google ads in particular seem to be horrifically expensive for certain phrases.

I don't know maybe you do not mean thread of signature campaign but why these forums allow a signature campaign because of that this forum is so popular.

Bitcoin has certainly got serious traction and wider recognition in the last few years. But this doesn't seem to have a lot to do with the startup companies that are using or planning to use it. They would still need attention of the general public just like any other startup in any industry that aims to first get into and then remain in the public eye. As the old adage says, without publicity there is no prosperity. And here still seems to be a good place to bootstrap your business recognition and distinction.

The clear statement because not all of the companies is always having a regular capital for giving funding for their campaign. and that is will need a lot of funds. but this is not valid for the campaign is having a large source for their amount or I can say the regular capital.

There are a lot of campaigns active, but not so many with spaces available and for the best paying ones you will need to wait a while to join them.

Personally I think they are great for the community as it can keep people active and improve their knowlege, some do get upset at the amount of spam that some users tend to post just to increase the post count but overall I think it is a plus for the bitcoin community.

You will also find some campaigns that are not listed in the overview.

I think what you mean is there's only few signature campaigns that accept newbie participants because most of the signature campaigns here only accepts from full member up to Legendary, and why is that? It is because the higher the rank the higher chance that their advertisement or signature campaigns will gonna get advertise easily and the higher the rank glamours more others attention. You should get your account into a member by posting in different boards so that you can start to find signature campaigns that is compatible with your account.

true that,Google ads campaigns could be very expensive and I know for sure fortunejack and a few other bitcoin gambling sites were splashing out over 5 btc a month for banner campaigns at almost every btc ad network,too
it was crazy when you just could not find a site without their ads :) think they had almost 70% share of all the ads shown for 3-4 weeks at one particular period of spring
for smaller businesses,0.5 btc a week is way too much,if you have noticed the majority of the sig campaigns are either gambling,some sort of an exchange or mixer service they have instant return from their clients and possible rebills
planning your ad campaign depends on many factors though,large companies know their TA,they have experienced managers who decide how to allocate advertising funds and meet the targets so I don't think they skip bitcointalk forum as their  ads platform just because they don't know it exists
could be any reason starting from the ease to start a campaign,when you have to get an account,find a campaign manager,escrow funds etc.
maybe,just maybe bitcointalk forum should run their own ads and position itself as a quality advertisement option as well as a source of info,but of course it is up to the owners to decide


 

I would also say it also depends solely on time factor as not all campaigns will be active at the same time. Its going to be on a rolling basis… Also if you follow the link supplied in earlier page, you will realized the list is kind of extensive with some still active and some no longer active…

Have a look in the altcoin section there are many there that pay out dividends. It is like an early investment so they almost always generous since they want to spread their currency faster and get the good word out.

Maybe the signature campaigners are not interested in the service of the bitcoin related business. It might need more skill.

His point is that there's probably 100s of companies that accept Bitcoin, how come only 10 or so bother to advertise here.

It's a great question. I think the answer is because most companies that accept bitcoin don't know a significant amount about it it, they aren't geeking out on it so they may not know that this forum even exists!

But you've identified a great opportunity. We could bring those companies in here, more ad opportunities and expand the bitcoin market at the same time. I guess the best unanswered question is what kind of traffic does this site get. If it's 100 ppl a day it may not be worth those larger companies time. If it's 1000 per day we might be on to something.

signature campaign is not the only way to advertising, there are a lot of ways, and to start a signature campaign is not cheap, and after that I think there are quite a lot of company used signature campaign advertising, but sometimes they only advertise for a short time

Wait, what do you mean not interested? they're interested with that.  so and what about the relarionship with skill?

->Most of the incoming traffic is either due to bitcoin technical support  or simply earning bitcoins on the forum.
->Which is basically 90% of the bitcoin enthusiasts or simply money makers.
->Forum has the best content when it comes to technical issues or bitcoin projects or marketplace.
->The forum is kept as much as "decentralized" as possible which is not the paradigm followed by other bitcoin forums.

I think you are looking in the wrong section bro. You can find many signature campaign in the service section. There are many active Signature campaign there right now and most of them are paying good amount of Bitcoin. Just keep searching the forum bro. goodluck

This thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0) is dedicated exclusively to keeping track of current signature campaigns on the forum. The OP of that thread may not be quite up to date, though, so you need to read the last few pages of the thread too if you want to stay informed about new campaigns popping up. And closely watching the Services section could be very helpful if you want to participate in one such campaign.

There are actually a good number of campaigns running if you count alt coin signature campaigns too https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1473156.0

because every business sites in the Bitcoin world is not honest . about 50-60% sites are non-trusted they usually ran away after two to three month . so they are comes for fraud only . but honest site makes advertisement and make user for itself thriugh signature campaign in legit way .

Well the aim of signature campaign is promotion of services and the ways for make promotion is not in signature campaign only, there are many ways is like, Google advertising, campaign society media Facebook,twetter and include put advertising into bitcointalk.org.

I think you have not check properly service announcement section. There are a good number of signature campaigns in this section and it increasing continuously. So I said that there have not few.Main target of a signature campaign is an advertising a site or service for become popular .We are the member help to promote their site. After that it will be stop as they achieved their goal.

I don't think we're there yet but the day is coming. this is still the epicentre of most of the action. there have been a few cases like bit-x/coinsbank where their campaign ended as they took it to the next level but there'll always be a lot of people here so there'll be some type of sig campaign as long as they're tolerated.

You are right but before or i think still now if you are the publisher then google is really the best choice because as you have said they really are quite expensive so their paying rate is also really good

and lots of altcoin campaigns. plust 2 new campaign just started today few hours ago.
I don't think there is only few campaigns.
the reason of a campaign is to advertise something among the forum members.like a gambling site. an altcoin. or an exchange etc. if there is no much campaign simply mean that companies don't want to promote via signature campaign.

No, i think you should check it out most of the best signature campaigns are here, and they are not a few numbers. Secondly, campaigns are here to advertise it and also they have time limit, when their time have been finished than they go back, but than new one campaigns are come, So in this way, the circle is continue, but we can't say that only few campaigns are here in this section.

The campaign is not open at the same time other campaign already finish and they think thier popular enough and don't need any more to promoting by signature campaign thats I think the reason why.

I suppose that those companies aren't really that interested in a signature campaign. Depending on the company, they could already have a high amount of people using their services so they may not even need a signature campaign.

I want to believe that its actually about timing that campaigns come out because currently on the forum quite a number of campaigns are really going on and by my count, nothing less than 15 going on in relation to Bitcoin and other campaign in relation to ALTs in their own category not even counting the number of Twitter campaigns as well as Facebook campaigns going on currently. This might no be the same as at the time Op posted this that why I      lay emphasis on timing.

I don't athink that here are only few signature campaigns. There are plenty of them but not all of them have need for new members all the time and most of them have very strict requirements regarding rank and other conditions that you have to fill to be accepted. And not all companies have need or desire to promote themselves through signatue campaigns and they invest in different kind of marketing, maybe more profitable for them.

You are just a new comer to this forum if you search on the services section you will find a number of companies has already launched their campaigns and they are now closed as they have got their target and now they do not need any further advertisement as now they are getting a good traffic while whenever a new site service appear it start a campaign to promote themselves regularly.

Here you can find all Signature Campaigns of this forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0

Hard to find all Signatures threads on services section, easiest to look on that link. All information there!

I think the signature campaign in this forum is quite a lot and I can see there are new signature campaign every month, but the one that develop a lot is the alt coin signature campaign, there are a lot of alt coins in this forum but the payment rate for alt coins is lower than usual campaign

I don't think that there are only a few signature campaigns here In fact the big and trusted ones are here to advertise their site. The number signature campaigns that don't last long is low cause doing and maintaining a signature campaign causes a lot of money.

Usually the ones who last long are the big companies  ;)

They don't last long since they some of them only plans for short time period since they experimenting it if they could get some huge benifit when they run a sig campaign but turns closing it down if they cannot get success. But the truth fact here is there are so many sig campaigns here the only matter for us to see is to find them in service section or locates michelle's post where we can find all list of sig campaign who's currently running.

Well, I've noticed it's mostly the gambling casinos that have signature campaigns here,
while some are also new or fairly new exchanges. And then there are the altcoins.
Probably because majority of the forum users are interested in gambling(or something like)
Some, like primedice have stopped their campaigns.(maybe they don't need it anymore)

It's not really a few, more like there's just some specific groups/kinds.

Some signature campgaigns ask the campgaigners to post certain number of posts in the gaming section.

There are many ways of advertising your business and it's usually based on their budget. Signature campaigns really costs a lot and some of them thinks that it is not a effective way of promoting, That's why some signature campaigns don't last long.

did something went wrong with your keyboard?  Signature campaign, gambling section.
They are doing that because they think there are a lot of people gonna read/post in that section, but i don't agree about that rules because it would causing spam posts in 1 section.

Well that is because this is not the right section for signature campaigns or you might tell that here in forum. It is because signature campaigns need to have a large budget or fund for promoting their website or service. It's either they are new and they still need to get some profit out of their advertising but once their promotion is effective, they are going to keep on running.
