in the last 3 months i have had over 3000 visits from DP. Yes, sigs work. A lot of my traffic was from link baits, posting my blog articles, but sigs help a lot.
I do see traffic coming from DP, although I am not sure if it is from my signatures, signatures that I rent ot the postings
I've gotten over 60 people on my list in a single day with only about 4 post. It was a really, REALLY, REALLY popular forum though.
Forum posting as worked great for me. Traffic to my site has skyrocketed since I discovered forums. I am very active in forums, I leave comments, welcome new members, ask questions, etc... At this point, on this forum, I am still unable to leave my forum sig, but I do sign each and every message that I leave and I am still recieving great traffic from this site as well. I use my signature whenever I send anything, e-mail, text messages, etc....every bit helps. Good Luck The ConsumerTreehouse.com Team
If you are posting in a forum that is related to your niche and you have an eye catching tagline, you will not only get traffic but targeted traffic that will convert well.
Yes i am agree that forum posting is good way to generate traffic for your site i am getting my 30 to 35% traffic from forums.
It does help posting in forums as long as you don't spam. I would say there are better ways of getting traffic though if you don't want to do the work with posting. I only really post because I enjoy it and also like to keep up to date with the webmaster stuff.
I think a signature file is similar to a resource box in an article. You need the content of your post to be helpful and the signature anchor text line to be compelling. Just doing a drive-by post to get a signature in is obvious to people.
Yes, forum posting works well. It is where you get targeted audience all congregated in one place. This kind of audience is more responsive. This is also where I get lots of subscribers for my free report as well as find my top earning affiliate program. See my signature.
yeah but how good is the traffic for me i run a news site specific to my geographical area, so people on here will make no difference
DP has sent one of my sites a TON of traffic. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=521050 It kept rising! I got almost to 400 uniques per day. Right now i'm average like 50-100 uniques now!
Wow! That's amazing! I did 5,000 just last month!!!!! UGH. lol I need boots just to read this thread. Where did wood go? Maybe he is trying to think of a good signature.
If you're helpfull you don't even really need a signature, people will take the time to look for a "visit this posters website" button or link.
