Forum Signature

[thomson]

What kind of signature in a forum catches your attention and makes you want to follow the link?
What type of signature makes you irritated?

Would you like to share some tips to help make a signature more effective?

The worst thing is text disguising the link so that unless you hover you don't really see where it will take you. I don't like forum sigs much anyway and can probably count the number of times I have followed them on the fingers of one hand, but anything gaudy or obnoxious makes me tend to ignore all the user's posts too, not just the link.

A signature block (often abbreviated as signature, sig block, sig file, .sig, dot sig, siggy, or just sig) is a block of text automatically appended at the bottom of an e-mail message, Usenet article, or forum post. This has the effect of "signing off" the message and in a reply message of indicating that no more response follows. It is common practice for a signature block to consist of one or more lines containing some brief information on the author of the message. Note that a sig block is not the same as a digital signature. A sig block is easily forged, whereas a digital signature uses cryptographic techniques to provide verifiable proof of authorship.

Thomson, you are saying that you don't use long text in your signature but see your signature it is too long you should not use like this signature. It should be small not like a sentence.

Well, from my side sign link plays such perfect and vital role to catch the great traffic to our targeted websites...

Signature that describe the material or have an authentic meaning took the attention of the visitor. Many people do not like long text link.

Including signatures in a forum post, will be able to link the sites and getting backlinks.

I think the forum signature's role became more and more small, as the GOOGLE algorithm update, Link relevance, are increasingly important,

Most of the form allow the signature after 15 or more post on the form.

Most of people doing signature is to get keywords for SEO purpose and no longer looking for only traffic.
I believe Signature with powerful call to action , free stuff, some promotion( if allow ) will capture the reader attention to follow you up.
