Just want to get this off my chest... I see people selling links from their signatures as high as $100 per MONTH and avatars as much as $40/month... All the power to the sellers, it is a FREE market but to the BUYERS... WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU THINKING ? You can just about buy a PR8 link for that much cash !!! Have a great weekend !
Newsflash: They know what they are doing!!! From the Avatar, SiteSift has had a nice increase in visitors. Rumor has it the usertitle and location spot is also starting to be sold!!!
i get a lot of visitors from my signature, 500 posts with 5/day... i used a signature calculator, and told me that my signature worth 8$/month
Ever since the directory contest has started, people have been blogging about it and linking to my profile. I'd be curious to see how many visitors it gets daily
Not every one gets $100 for a sig link or $40 for avatar.. Its totaly depends on the quality of the seller, If the seller is an active member here, and has good reputation/trust, he will get that much price.. Disclaimer - I didnt sell my Avatar/Location... I am not doing it for money.
Posters can certainly do whatever they want with their avatars. This is a free, capitalistic country. No criticism from me on that. But just from the personal standpoint, I get weary of seeing the same paid-for avatars on multiple posters' posts. I miss the interesting variety and creativity of personal avatars before they "went commercial".
Around the world, sports teams will put booze, gambling, and any other vice on their uniforms. I find it less disapointing to see my peers in a forum selling out to a directory than sports teams selling out to whoever toss the most money their way.
two words: Nas car!! I think you are right though, much worse in that kids look up to those athletes sporting the gun, liquor, and cigarette promos
No Richie I am writing an article for a DP dude for his blog the subject will be sig links that is why I am interested in following this thread as I want to add some value added info to the thread Pete
