    I have a feeling most people will agree with Al on this one...little to no traffic...I myself still need to set mine up as the remote off chance you generate a click that turns into a sale lol

    The thing is the fact I myself have not set up a sig yet should tell you how high up the priority/effectiveness chain it is lmao.

    It's not enough to even count as a source of traffic.

    I try to keep my more helpful blog posts there if I feel they might be of use, just in case anyone wants to read more of my ramblings.

    There is some traffic, but 100% of them are not even buyers. There are just looking around and then they leave. I don't know about other niches, but at least this applies to Warrior Forum. Yes, folks at Warriors especially newbies are not interested in buying, they're here to sell actually, by making lots of posts, asking certain questions and then open a WSO later on.

        It is not intended to drive traffic to your site, most savvy Warriors know that it is a great backlink for Google because of the longevity and the page rank of the Warrior Forum. That's all it does.

          Actually, signature from this forum doesn't mean anything to Google because it is nofollow obviously. Yes, newbies who don't know this fact will waste time posting here and there hoping that Google will rank them one day.

    Some LOL but by no means can you rely on it as your sole source of traffic. That would be too easy and at the same time you wouldn't be able to survive just on sig leads.

    I've been here on the WF for almost 3 years but never had a signature until about a week ago. Since I have a signature I made 15 posts which resulted in 2 clicks to my website.

    I actually posted to the forum this past Sunday and made a paid sale to one of my programs. Unfortunately , it was to an affiliate link which is not allowed. I should have read the TOS. Beginners luck I guess.

  • Haven't tried it much on this forum but it's worked on other forums. That said, it'll never be a good primary or event secondary method to focus on compared to other things. Still, I'm the type of guy who likes to hand out or leave behind a business card in real life in case it produces fruit later on. I think of my online sigs as being the digital version of that.

    I think it mainly depends on what you're posting here on the forum more than anything else. If you're helping folks out and showing them that you can deliver value, then they might check out your website. But if you're just posting one-line comments that are pretty vague, then folks can't really judge you and they won't click.

    When I was super-active on WF last year and offering folks advice daily, I was getting roughly 4k-8k visitors per month from my sig link. So don't think that it can't produce excellent traffic; it's just not common unless you really go out of your way to help folks. Note that I said "help" there...not "sell".

    I might possibly get 50 visitors a month from my sig.

    Nothing to write home about. My videos on DailyMotion alone get me much more traffic (not to mention YouTube which packs more of a punch).

    Of course I don`t spend 8 to 12 hours a day posting on the WF and have thousands upon thousands of posts either.

    Perhaps I should...

    I do not know if it is just me but when I visit Warrior Forum I never see anyone's signature at all.

    If you pay for a signature are you able to link/promote anything? What are the limitations for the paid signatures?

    At the end of the day do you Warriors feel the paid signature service is worth the $60?

      Would you look at banner ads these days? If it makes my browser slow, I would rather install a plugin to block it.

        That would be due to have the "box" unchecked in your control panel. It's been mentioned here many times.

    Who's counting???

    I occasionally get a sale from a someone who has indicated that they heard about my product here, but those are very rare.

    I doubt that I get more than a handful of sales per year as a result of any exposure my sig link receives here, but that's OK as it is provided to allow others to understand who I am - not for the express purpose of generating sales.

    I found some traffic is coming from my signature. But if you think the Signature is not working at all. It is not right. I am sure the signature creates back link. It may be at Do-follow link or, No-follow link. By which your Traffic & Page rank will increase. The Do-follow link will increase your site traffic & Page rank at the same time. Os it is necessary to do. Thanks for understanding.

    I don't think a lot of people test their sig copy because they don't think it makes a huge difference.

    I read sigs out of sheer curiosity, and most people's sigs suck (quite frankly).

    Company names? Suck.

    Name of a blog? (Visit my blog.) Sucks.

    Telling what you do instead of the benefits to the potential customer? Sucks.

    If you're on here and you're posting and you have a sig, the least you can do is make it worth your while and create a sig that makes people want to click.

    A sig is like a headline. If your headline sucks... you've already lost the battle.

      Very true. After seeing some people say that they get results from their sigs and others saying they don't see much in terms of results I think it basically boils down to: 1. how much of what they're promoting is in demand and 2. whether the sig makes people want to click over.

    Currently I don't have a link in my signature, but recently I have and one thing I can say for sure is that the amount of traffic that clicked on my sig link was considerably less than what it used to be 2-3 years ago. I remember several years ago getting as many as 30-40 visitors a day from the WF but the last link I had in my sig I kept there for an entire 10 days and only got 58 clicks.

    I generally don't put links in my sig now as a rule unless I have a new WSO. I guess it's worth it even if it only ends up resulting in 1 or 2 sales.

      I've gotten some subscribers from here and made a few sales here and there. People read warrior forum blogs more than you think.

      You can't link directly from them to a squeeze page but you can link to a helpful blog post which can give people the option to join your squeeze page.

    My sig actually gets me alot of leads who convert into customers.

    That's the point of it right? Promotion, right?

    When i track my subs from this site, a large portion of them buy my frontend product from me relatively fast (within 30 days). If you know how to twerk it, it can be a better investment than the $100/day banner ad at the top.

      Some people know how to twerk it, other people know how to tweak it; two very different skillsets!

      Sorry, Randall; I couldn't resist, but I also know you can take a gentle ribbing. At least I spared you a twerking video!
