Do you ever click on links in signatures?

[Peter Lambert]

I voted "Yes, but not often." Then I see if you're asking about if people click "ads" in signatures. It's pretty easy to tell if it is an ad or not, and if it is, I don't click it. I suppose the only "ad-like" one I click is organofcorti's signature link to his blog, but it's because it almost always has something of value on it.

The poll is asking about any links, whether ad-like links or not.

Never

[bitcoin44me]

I never did so far.

[air1]

I never do.

if i trust a person i look at his links. when the first thing i notice about a person are his links, this is bad for my trust. Forum activity: 5 Sig: donate me here, get free bitcoins there .... wtf???

therefor my slowly curated list of links is one ad for my baby an other bitcoin stuff people should know about.

[CoinsForTech]

I do within reason. There are only so many dice websites I can handle, otherwise I'm always ready to discover potentially exciting new businesses.

I also have a habit of not reading ridiculously coloured signatures as they give me the shits. If you're going to try advertising I'm a big fan of keeping it simple and useful, rather than trying at all costs to grab attention.

I do sometimes, depends on person and link text.

[freedomno1]

I quoted a sig today if that counts

[marjamrob]

I do often, but only if it's something I've never heard of.

If I notice a referral part and knew the service before, I make sure to remove the referral part before opening that tab.
Definitely I judge people by their signature.

Says the guy with huge text in his signature...

The removing the referral link thing is pretty funny though.

So I judge you as an obnoxious idiot based on your signature?

[bitcoindigi]

I don't click on the flashy ones. apart from that - yeah if I feel like checking people out

[tspacepilot]

I would only do this on accident or if I was explicitly getting paid to do so.  That's just me.

[Mooshire]

I do when it interests me.

[Peter Lambert]

I see only one person voted they have signatures turned off, but 22 people voted they ignore signatures. Why do you have signatures enabled if you just ignore them anyway?

[gbl08ma]

These are the stats for a link I have on my signature (my donation Bitcoin address shortened with my shortener): http://tny.im/nx+
So yes, people click on signature links, and I don't even post a lot.

[Amaze]

I only click if it catches my eye.

[HollowIP]

Not really. I pretty much know what all of them are already. I may click if I see something new that looks interesting.
