    Hypothetically, Say I make around 10 posts a day, How many hits per day would you say I can expect to get from a sig link?

    When I had my site in my sig link it could bring up to 250 visitors per month. I guess it depends on the working you use too.

    I get high xxx to low xxxx in traffic from DP each month.

    Webmaster related sig links are a great way to draw in traffic. Perhaps you should have posted in the marketing forum.

    Do people really click on sig links? :confused:
    I never clicked on any sig links.
    I thought sig links are for backlinks.

    I get approximately 300 visitors from dp each month, though my niche is related to milk and dairy food. As mikey1090 suggested, it would have been greater had my niche was something webmaster related.

    Around 8 hits from dp to one of my sites,I think dp's traffic is good traffic.

    linkbuilding value is much better then the traffic you gonna get from them. I think conversion is not good as your link is on a forum and generally forum conversions suck.

    Funny you brought this topic up cos i used to think about it myself, but the yesterday when i was on (i havent been active for a while) i noticed myself clicking a fair amount of sig links, but then again its all to do do with the niche (eg. I must have gone to all the WP theme sites that i came across).

    Looking at my stats, Ive had 20 hits in the last month going to 1 link and 10 to the other (remembering that I havent really been active). Although thats low, I not complaining

    I think it depends. But to me sig links are very effective in drawing traffic.

    well it all depends:

    funny and entertaiing posts: you are more exposed internally at DP where user will drop by your thread or come across your posts and get drawn into and they will click on sig link or blog links of yours as well. DP traffic

    informative posts: you will lure the views of DP members looking for insights and form outside; internally and externally and they will read your posts and also click and visit your lniks and blogs to read more.

    and to get more visitors through sig link or links,
    funny posts = quantity matters
    informative posts = quality + quantity matters

    as for me I am getting decent amount of visits to my blog (since my sig links are more of sales)
    and above rules go for any forums with sig allowed.

    If you present your signature in an interesting way you can draw a good amount of traffic.
