Thanks for sharing. I agree with what you said about forum marketing, sometime I find it so irritating to see forum signitures saying VISIT MY BLOG..not enticing and so hard sell. I want something unique but can put interest and curiousity.
Great post thanks for sharing. I have found that putting your free offer in the signature is a good way to get traffic. It also gets more people to sign up for a news letter. thanks for the post
Hi Applet, people are looking for value in exchange for their name and email address.The more you can give value, the better are your chances to get a new subscriber as well.
I like creating my forum signatures with my main targeted keywords as the text, and a link back to my site. I do this for SEO purposes so that I can build backlinks while participating in the forum. I would usually have another piece of text that’s NOT linked to my site .. describing what my site was about..
Eg. The phrase I use most often is “Testimonial of a Skeptic”.. because my site is about ways to make money online that I was skeptical about trying, but proved to be legit.
This is a unique post and I think you make a good point.. Presentation of a signature is definitely a factor in how many click throughs a person receives.

That was a great post. Many of us promote our sites in signatures and would like to increase click throughs beyond the link juice you get. Thanks a lot.
