Great post, but I am confused about one thing. Is paid hosting a man or a woman. "He has around 4 links in her signature." It would be unfortunate to go through all this work and not get this post stickied, but I think we have enough stickies already. But me saying this only increases the chances.
8 Easy Steps for an Effective, Traffic Driving Signaure: 1. Target the right niche. If your signature has websites unrelated to the forum in it, your audience won’t be interested. 2. Use contrasting colors. E.g. if the forum background is light blue, use colors that stand out against it. 3. Provide a call to auction. Use words like “apply nowâ€, “check it outâ€â€¦etc. 4. Create a sense of urgency. Try “places limited, offer expires in 6 daysâ€â€¦etc. But be honest - see step 6. 5. Offer a forum specific incentive “example forum members onlyâ€. 6. Write quality posts. If you present yourself as an expert in your field, people will be more likely to click your signature. Remember it’s much easier to lose reputation than gain it, so try to remain consistently professional. 7. This ones probably not for everyone, but as Shoemoney notes chick avatars bring teh traffic. 8. Explain your site, write a real sentence if it’s not clear what your sites about.
Well Duality nice job done and thaks to spending some time for such a thread. It should be stricky on this section so people can read it time and time.
Ha, you beat me by seconds and the gender question. I wish there was a 'second' time stamp on the clock.
