It seems that most people do click signature links.. I thought that would be the result.. Great idea for a poll!
Yes, me too....I click about 2-3 times a day...not those tiny url ones. But interesting anchor tezts and the services at dp links.
Well I clicked atleat 5 to 10 clicks on Singatures of DP. I ony open this link which looks helpfull to me.
I should have included recent blog in the original post, but I guess I can add that now as a link. I meant to include it as an over all question of clicking anything in a members post, even typing in urls from location or from avatars.
It varies from user to user. A good post from a user might prompt me to click his signature link. Even a humorous post will do. A catchy tagline does your signature no harm. If the avatar is something that everybody's wearing, then I do type it out and see what the hype is all about. Recent blog- depends on the headline.
I think we should make it a habit to click on signature of forum members to help us earn some revenue from each other , every body buys web hosting, every one hires a web designer or freelance programmer now and then, what is wrong in clicking the signature link and buy it so that fellow web masters survives in this tough internet marketing situation.
If I'm interested in what the link is, then yes I'll probably click it. Otherwise most of the time I won't.
