    I feel like a lot of people on here would benefit from our latest blog about the best way to make use of your forum signature when you run a business or website.

    The blog post is here. If I'm not allowed to make a thread about this please feel free to delete it, I just think it could help some people.

    Please also leave any comments via our blog if you found it useful or have any feedback :)

    Then I came in and rated the thread with * and lowered the overall rating to 3 stars. :D That way, I might possible draw more attention to my signature, because of the controversy, so I think I am doing well now. :)

    Scott.... I hate to say that I was not tempted to click your signature link of this forum. With that said, if you don't have a good signature, why would I read your blog about creating a great signature.

    Sorry.

    Plain and simple fact of business is that you cannot perfect something for everyone. I've sampled many signatures on many forums and the one I have now seems to bring in the best traffic.

    You do have to balance objectives though. My signature is mainly for a targeted backlink for our website. I couldn't fit in a proper sales message for our service and promote our blog as well for the amount of characters you are given in the signature.

    Thanks for all of the comments so far and I hope you all found the blog post useful :)
