    one of the way to get more exposure for your site is to include its URL as a signature in every outgoing email.

    when you reply someone, there're two ways of inserting the email:
    which way of signing will cause your URL to be noticed more?

    any particular reason? as for me, if i am the reader, i would stop reading once i see the appended message (thereby skipping the signature). i was wondering if there're many people like me or not.

    I completely agree about having the signature with your website link in every outgoing mail.

    I think that when you are replying to an incoming email it's less important. That person is more likely already to know or know about you. I still use my signature in replies, but I put it below the appended quote. But I'll admit, you've got me thinking about that now.

    The first is less obtrusive.

    But, the second will get your signature noticed more often.

    I too think the second one will get noticed more and it will look professional as well.

    Interesting, I haven't thought about different signature positions. I aways put them on the really end of message.

    The first one is better obviously. I very rarely read quoted message, just quick look to extract the general idea of message.

    While that may be so, I think the second option would be forgiven, if even noted as something the reader didn't like.

    A sig line after the original message will often go unseen. Most people don't scroll down to see teh bottom of their own message. Why would they?

    I believe the second one would get your signature noticed. I personally would stop reading where the original message started.
