Avatar craziness

After the signature rush, now we have the avatar rush , after site-sift started buying all the avatars now is seven seek time.

I find avatars as a marketing and branding tool, to be much more efficient than signatures even not having the live link to the site, what you guys think?
One bad thing it’s much harder to identify members on DP now .

 

I noticed the SevenSeek and Site Sift avatars here lately too -- whasssssup widdat?

 

They're paying people for having that avatar?

 

Well, I am a big fan of anything that Jeff from www.avivadirectory.com and www.sevenseek.com does, so for now I proudly wear his avatar

 

Yes mostly of then get paid, others just follow the crowd.
And I think probably the market rate should be around $1 month for 100 posts.

 

Thanks for the info

 

Very soon we will have thousands of threads selling avatars… on DP.

 

That would be a bad idea. I think that PMs are better for that.

 

Is that all you were offered? I was offered more than that

 

No, we're volunteer , someone asked me if i could use that avatar for whole december and i said yeah, cause Site Sift Rocks!!!!!!!

 

Oh yeah ? so it means you got paid? How much did he paid you then

 

same for me using it as a volunteer just because I like site sift

 

I can't beleive I sold out... heh. Not for the (although it's a plus), it's a good directory too.

 

I sell cheap LOLOLOL

 

Avatars are at our disgression on our profle, we like, we show

We dont accept payments for any details on our profile

We are like many others here on DP the majority of our business is done by PM

 

OK - SO I jumped on the bandwagon and made one up -- Figured why not?

 

Yea,I get swimmy on DP now.

 

yes i just realized it will be very hard to tell whos who now

 

So what is the current price going for avatar these days ..well for 1.3k posts..
