Your signature file which is that spot at the end of your forum posts and your emails is a great place to give yourself some free advertising for your web site or blog.

I post on many forums around the Internet and my forum URL and blog address are on as many as I’ve remembered to do as of this writing. It’s not a guarantee of anything but then again what is? I think you should put as much thought into your signature lines as you would a paid advertisement.

Of course, if you are a regular poster on a particular forum you do stand a better chance of attracting visitors. Don’t just go to any forum that you will never go back to and make a signature file or link there. It’ll probably get you nowhere. At the very least put a signature in your email client.

I think sometimes it is more attractive to make your signature an actual clickable link as opposed to just your URL in bold, colored letters for example.

By providing your signature at forums you frequent you will give people an opportunity to click on your URL. How cool is that? Just be concise, clear and do not write a novel or try to confuse people. Keep it simple and short.

Hopefully, they will click through and find an interest in your site and you have gained a new visitor, member, or subscriber.  

Good luck and I hope your click through rates rise.
