Do you click on signatures?

Do I click on signature? Yes, I do but before clicking on the signature I usually read the site ANN thread see the positive and negative review of people who have once use the site to understand what's in there for me if I am going to visit the site or not. I could remember when Bestchange came into the forum, on a normal day if they didn't host a signature campaign I won't have trust their services abit due to fake a lot of exchange sites out there.

Depends!

If the signature is somewhat on the fancy side or the first time i do see it neither it is a gambling site or mixer or any other services then i do click out those signature for me to check on what it is.
Overall, signature wont really be existing into this forum if it was irrelevant nor wasnt effective at all.There are long time running campaigns here on this forum
which does signify that they are really benefitting at it.

Hi, you have a vision based on personal experience but is leaving the reality of the marketing objective in all its context.

From the point of view of income in "advertising", clicking on a banner is something complex, although it seems easy, which in theory it is, but not in practice...

... when one of the largest companies or sites began to selling advertising on the Internet they paid and I think it still pays $ 0.001 for each click, you needed 1000 clicks to earn $ 1 on your website, the owner of the site wins for those clicks but the owner of the campaign wins for having a space on your site.

In the case of the ads owner banner has something called "impressions" and if you look at the statistics of Any site, as a general rule if you have 100,000 impressions could have 1000 clicks, this "relationship" is quite "complex" and is subject to things such as the content of the site or blog, region, specific days, events, etc.

But the campaign has gained 100,000 views or impressions, if you have never had the opportunity to see these statistics you can do it with (e.g.) Twitter, you can go to Tweet Analytics.

So the point is,there are many appreciations to think only of the click on the signature.

In fact, In conversations in the offline world I have sometimes recommended some servicies of the firms that are promoted here, the proven scientific effect that advertising leaves on the psyche of people due to the unconscious effect of impressions, whether visual, auditory.

Yes, I do usually clicking signatures especially if I need to look up something from that website for checking information currently on my signature campaign I do usually visiting my account just to play gambling so I don't need to get too much hassle for clicking another tab and type the website again. But sometimes if I don't know about the signature Im not rarely checking or clicking the signatures also to my security itself.

- Crypto casinos
- Mixing services
- Exchange services

As Pmalek gave mostly I visiting with the crypto casinos or gambling platforms.

I guess yes I click a lot of signature ads here in the future and mostly if I'm curious about it or if it is something new and I want to try it.

Also, I find some signature ads when I need to go to that website because obviously there are some fake websites if you want a legitimate website you could just click the signature ads like if you're going to use Chipmixer, there are tons of fake Chipmixer website if you need the legitimate link just click the ads.

The signature advertisement works, it is not really all about just clicking the ads but also more as we could see it, the more we see the signature the more it will affect us, search how advertisement works there are also  psychology stuff as well.

Signatures are about visibility, Tracking the clicks on signatures doesn't show the whole picture, and it doesn't mean that an ads campaign is unsuccessful if it doesn't generate plenty of clicks. You see the ads, you move on, but they get saved in your memory. The next time you feel like gambling, you ask yourself: What was the name of that casino I saw last week? Oh, yeah, It's XYZ casino. You enter the name in your browser and that's how an ad turned out to be successful even without generating a click by the player on the signature.
On a different topic, has there ever been a case where a user decided to modify his signature to redirect to a fake site, malware, or something like that?

It's possible if the user isn't part of the signature campaign and decides to maliciously promote on his/ her own accord. Meanwhile for the rest of us, there's no point sabotaging our reputation when we worked our way to establish our accounts.

Also, for someone with a good eye to go through every signature on every thread because there's NBTD, it's impractical.

The thing about signatures on Bitcointalk is that they all advertise the same things. We don't have that many types of services that are advertised via bitcoin signature campaigns:

- Crypto casinos
- Mixing services
- Exchange services

It gets boring with time. I do my sports gambling on the same two casinos/sportbooks all the time. Therefore, I don't need to click on new casino signatures because chances are very slim that they'll win me over as a player.

It would be really nice if we got some more variety when it comes to signatures and advertisements. That would arouse my interest, and I would click on the links to see what is on offer. I do remember two signatures I definitely clicked on, but for different reasons: ChipMixer and WolfBet.

ChipMixer was and still is advertised by the best posters on the forum and I wanted to know what is so special about it. I thought the blue WolfBet avatar looked cool and it got me to click on a signature to check out the platform. I have also clicked on the BestChange FAQ when the site started its signature campaign to learn more about the features of the exchange.

I agree with adding more varieties of campaigns. I guess along with more popularity of Bitcoin and the forum, and acceptance of crypto in major stores, we would be able to see businesses like Walmart, Starbucks etc can come place their ads here too. I guess, they just don't know about our forum yet, but once major companies start to accept crypto and it gets somewhat stabilized, we would surely see advertising companies rushing here like hell! If they can pay for those stupid YouTube ads which most people skip, they will pay highly for ads placed on the revolutionary Bitcoin official forum!
