Do you click on peoples links in their sigs?

Rollo Tamasi

Just wondering if people click on sigs to bring them to other websites, and if you do then what is that attracts you to do it?

(i have a link in my sig to a site i'm involved with but i have disabled it for this post just in case someone thinks i'm fishing for clicks)

If something in a sig interests me, I'll click it to see what its like. Many things don't, however.

Zoned

absolutely.... allways looking for interesting sites...

Some of the sites that you end up at are great...

If it there then people have the choice to click or not....

Scraggs

Yeah, if it looks like its good/something I'm interested in then yes I do. Hopefully ye'll all click mine!!

fuzzywiggle

No

Tar.Aldarion

Sometimes, if it seems intereting. My links are just for shortcuts for me, heh.

whiskeyman

No.
In fact, I dont like sigs at all, especially those that are as big as the posts...

Turn them off.

biko

If it stands out and look interesting I might, mostly tho I don't even look at the sigs twice. I disregard busy sigs/userbars altogether.

nice one Tar
Didnt know you could do that.
Mucho better.. and no more annoying userbars

Tar.Aldarion

I please to aim.

Sometimes, yeah. Everyone should click the link in my sig though.

Fighting Irish

never

hullaballoo

I click them if they catch my eye. For some reason RopeDrink's sig stands out in my mind for clickys.

arbeitsscheuer

like hullaballoo, I click them if they catch my eye.

Or if it's in the sig of somebody I know well on boards.

Otherwise nah.

i actually clicked yours only a few days ago. Beo.ie, i went to an all Irish primary/secondary school so it caught my eye.

I myself click on those which interest me as well. I'd take a look at bebo / myspace / blog links for people who i would recoginise on boards all the time.

I actually asked this question because the statistic package that I have on my webhost shows a lot of click thrus coming from boards.ie. People must like my sig!

I read peoples blogs sometimes if I know the user or software they have in their sigs to try out.

I hate links in sigs.

Rollo Tamasi

one think i dont like is those "user/watcher/fan" sigs that people have as in
nokia user
playstation fan
lost watcher

Oh, the ironing...

Sometimes...unless they're blogs/myspace/bebo or are labelled along the lines of Check out this cool thing!! or similar...

Blowfish

I got fed up and turned sigs off recently, though I still have mine left on. I still always check a link to make sure it isn't something dodgy anyway.

Oh and i'm a 'user';)
