So far, I click on most of the stuff I don't recognize so long as it's not filled up with colors and big fonts.

The signature campaign posters adding useless redundant fluff to their posts to reach their minimum word count are lowering my IQ.

This.  I've clicked on them if it is a site I haven't been to before and looks interesting.  But if it looks really bizarre like trying to grab my attention I might avoid it.

Sometime. Just out curiosity.

Same, I do that too!

A parabola (plural parabolas or parabolae, adjective parabolic, from Greek: παραβoλή) is a two-dimensional, mirror-symmetrical curve.  y = x2

With a signature of "Silver War - Love Silver", I have no idea what your signature links to, therefore I am not going to click on it. It is too cryptic for me.

It all depends on the fact that most links are there for 4 reasons:
1) You're being paid for it.
2) It's a referral link.
3) You made it.
4) You're genuinely interested.

Only occasionally. Many of the signatures are some kind of copy and paste for some promotion or saying this and that are scams.

From time to time, I do notice something that may be interesting to me and click to check out.

"Not yet - If I see a good ad I might click on it"

Because most of that links are uninteresting.

The title always sounds good but the content is weird.

I never used to notice sigs. But then I noticed some people posting useful stuff and I found it's a good way to find out abuot new services. Obviously you got to e careful but the way it works is that the people posting useful stuff tend to have the links of interest. Found out about a lot of new things this way

I make my signatures colourful, interesting and unobtrusive.
I include WhiskChat (which is basically CoinChat, a service by TradeFortress) because I made the client, and I include Inputs because it's cool. TF has ignored me on Bitcointalk, so I don't think he'll be paying me for either of those Wink
I'd be glad to share the code for my sig, if you want it. Smiley
im sry but i have never seen a link/information in someones signature which wasnt just plain text + link... as soon i see colors, they lost me

Only if the signature actually interests me. For example, if it's a warning about something which I use or a new service which would benefit me, then I normally do check them out.
