I wouldn't sell my sig space anywhere, I have put friends' sites in there though.

same here. The idea sounds neat, but there's no way it could profit enough to not put my own links in there. But for folks who just post a lot and don't run any sites it might be cool.

Hey, that's me!

No 'c' in my name, though...

The site you're talking about is Sell My Signature.

Just out of curiosity: how much would a signature like my DP one go for? I have 12k posts LOL My space is full, just like I've said: curious

Ahh, I'm the one that actually came up with the whole idea way back in 2004.

The site was SigTrader.com

I actually custom coded the site, then sold it: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=225394

Original sales thread in 2004: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=218313

I think the site is still active.

I am thinking of selling space in my sig on a monthly thing on my forum, or i was even thinking of selling then in the box were the google add's are (in the image attached) these go on every thread that is made but I cant think of a good price for this, does any one have any idea on what i should do and if its a good idea?

a friend of mine is a web designer/host and says a good number of visitors come from his forum signatures.

Really?? wow...

Dustin07 · 03-13-2006, 03:41 PM

I was surprised too. But I was just talking to folks at sitepoint about promoting a new forum and he said forum sigs was a good promotional tool for him too.

that sell my sig site has some surprisingly rich asking prices. I would personally consider buying sig space in the travel niche or buying people's "recent blog" space on travel forums. I didn't see anything like that though.

Dustin07 · 03-14-2006, 09:15 AM

well I went ahead and signed up at both places to check it out. You are right, there are some pretty high asking prices in there. We'll see what happens.

MadKad · 03-14-2006, 09:18 AM

LOL i went ahead and signed up to sell some but i think i did my prices to high oops, if any of you lot are intrested just say a price you think is worth it so that i know

Dustin07 · 03-14-2006, 09:23 AM

I wouldn't worry about it tooo much. I think that's why the 'sell my sig' idea hasn't really taken off. It costs to much for most people to be bothered with selling their signatures.

sixty6 · 03-14-2006, 02:51 PM

hehe...maybe I should sell some!!

nah...my sig is who I am!! LOL (That should be in a famous play, Shakespeares play...)

sitetutor · 03-16-2006, 09:39 PM

How about sig space on real estate forums?

Ferre · 03-17-2006, 09:06 AM

I consider selling signature links the same as having affiliate links in signatures. It's spamming forums in a way.

I also think that anyone who sells his forum signature for a few bucks is a sad individual who's greed for money outranges his normal sense of ethics and morals.

But that's just me.

Well actually I agree with that. See if someone wanted to sell forum sigs for a high price, they could just spam forums with useless posts and then say they have a thousand posts and sell spaces on their signature...spammers..

I know what you meen and in some ways you two are right i think

but in other ways its only like selling links to blog comments and links to sections of your site
