Signatures could bring you good results as well. Participating in forums helping others is the way to go.
Thanks for all your input. Great response! I have genetared 15,000 visits from over 200 forums and about $3K in sales from those visits. There isn't any click fraud going on there. hehe. Good luck to all! P.S. Titles are the most important part of any ad campaign.
I have compiled a list of forums that allow free advertising. Four of which are mine! Its not from Sigs. People are always skeptical about sig links, unless they know the person.
Ya its totally true. I really liked the great response on this thread. It was just a late night question, but it turned in an inspirational motivation for some. I actually spent over 200 hours to get that traffic though. It was a learning experience.
If you have an interesting sig link, and avatar people will normally click through. Also the most posts and iTrader/Rep you have helps because you do get more pageviews, but also people are more likley to click and have a look.
