Some signature tips

Hey Warriors,

I see a lot of you are utilizing your signatures to promote your products, and that's wonderful.

HOWEVER: I have seen some UGGGGGGGGLY signatures today. If you want to be more effective, you need to format your signature correctly.

If you've got a bunch of links, make sure they are grouped in the same area. And make sure you're using anchor text, because a url with no explanation is not going to get you anywhere.

Also, use your keywords as anchor text. The Warrior Forum WILL give you a free boost in google if you use this trick.

Cheers,
Lazy

    • Hey Lazy,

      good tips!

      I would add:

      -CAPS , grab attention because your mind is used to paying associating CAPS with "emphasis"

      -Little trick with PATTERNS,you can alternate your link colors from yellow to black, red to blue,etc.,etc.

      -The last,who can resist the famous "Don't click this"?

    • You can use really pretty banners right here, but that's not for the manly types.

    • I know! But I like it how it is because then it would just look crazy and not clean.
  • Thanks for the great example of signature, they are really awesome.
  • Thanks for those tips. It's true that signature files can bring some good leads to your offers. So why not maximize them?

  • When you link to your website, don't list the features, but inspire people to click your link by showing them what is in it for them if they do so.
  • I've always found posting good comments will get more "signature attention" then formatting can.

    • Is there a limit to the kind of picture you are allowed to use in your signature (if you pay for it)? I mean obviously nothing dirty, but are you allowed an image of your e-book etc?
    • You may even find that the amount of work that comes through is consistent an ongoing If people focus on what they give out rather than focus on the Sig itself, they may just find a whole lot more comes back in.
    • I agree - if your post is relevant and useful you get much better results
  • I'm just starting to see the benefit of the warrior signature!

    • And you are trying to rank for the phrase 'Click Here' ????????????? I think Adobe owns that one.

      Why not take advantage of the ability to create an anchored keyword link instead?
  • I dunno why but whenever I use url BB code to add anchor text it doesnt work for me. Do I have to join warrior room In order to use anchor text on WF ?

    EDIT : Figured out how it works

    • I find that insulting people in Klingon is always an attention grabber.

  • This is really a good way to promote your website and even your products and I am sure nowadays many people are using this way. However, a suggestion is that not to spam.
  • Indeed, signature is very helpful for promoting a website, thanks for your tips. I think signature could be designed creative.
  • So, did I do it right?
  • Not sure if my signature is ugly or not but, thanks for the good advice .. Some seem to have viewed your post as a "slam"..I see it as just looking out / being helpful to those new to the forum / IM
    Thanks again

    • My tip.

      Don't have a link that says "Make 1000's of $$$ in minutes!" when it's obvious from you're posts that you don't know how do that.

      No one is clicking on your link.

  • And sometimes your links can be used to help others...who need it.

    Lets not forget that option.



    Peace

    • This is VERY true. If you've got friends or clients that need a boost, you could add their link.

      Great Responses folks!

  • Very good sound advise.. .Thanks a bunch!
  • Dumb question- tried to search for an answer and this thread is the best I could find

    How do I make my warriors forum signature so I use anchor text such as

    <a href=" http://www.google.com">Search here</a>

    instead of http://www.google.com which is all I can get at the moment using the sig editor???

    • HTML code is not allowed so you have to use BBCode like this instead,
      [ url="http:www.google.com"]Search here[/url ]

      To make my BBCode example above work, just remove the beginning and
      ending spaces inside the brackets and this is the result you should receive.

      Search here

      Hope that Helps,
      Have a Great Day!

  • Great advice thank you I think I should go and edit my sig now :-s
  • Also as an idea to be different - try using small font i.e:

    If you can read this you can make money online... Click Here

    Something like that may work well.

  • Some really great ideas for signatures here. I will give some of these a try. Thanks Warriors!
  • Thanks for concerning everyone. Actually I'm also very confused after reading this thread. Does my signature looks crap also? Does I need to make any correction?
  • Hey there.. I just finished designing my new signature. Had a lot of fun in the process. What do you think about it?
  • Always make sure to use graphics in signatures, right guys? I think that is a great way to get people's attention. I see a lot of you have images and it makes me stop and look at it!
  • Thanks. Basically it`s very correct psychological insight helping gain traffic to any website.
  • My signature is really ugly - lucky I'm not selling anything right now
  • Ugly works too, especially if all the other signatures around here are nicely formatted.
    It seems the ugly ones stood out to you... and that's all that matters.
  • Some of the "suggestions" being offered here are actually against the forum rules. To avoid having your signature removed from your posts, be sure to read the rules.

    Also, most of the suggestions are opinion. I haven't seen one person that mentioned they've ran any tests. Rather than relying on opinion, test what works for you. Ugly sometimes gets much better results than pretty ... and yes, I have tested that. Notice I said sometimes.
