Sig Whores, What Do You Think?
In my travels to other boards, I see an awful lot of sig whores. We are lucky enough to not see many here and when we do, we get rid of them quickly. So, for the boards, do you think these whores help or hurt? For the programs they promote, do sponsors actually make any money from people that only post a few words to get their sig seen? And for the whores, is this their only business? Are they really making a living by posting 100s of times/day on boards?

I know that some people are posting these large amounts hoping it will increase their PR with Google. And maybe once it did.

I know someone who at gfy has referred over 300 webmasters from his gfy sig alone - ofcourse that is an enormous amount of posting but it is a fact that continual board whoring will get people to click on your sig - assuming it is interesting enuf to click on ofcourse. Do people make money on their sigs? HELL YEAH. Is it enuf to live on? i think that depends, it is all relative imo
Unfortunatly for the people that use the boards to network professionally and gather information these 'board whores' definatly fuck it for the rest of us as we have to read thru so much shit to find anything worthwhile just my opinion and thank fuck you guys have the sig rules

Sig whores are just as bad being a spammer imo. You have these "characters" who contribute nothing meaningful to the board and post so often you have to wonder if they are really webmasters at all. Whats worse is these other board owners who encourage it by paying nickels for every post in an attempt to be the most "active" board. Sad, really.

you havent got enought spam yet lol I totally agree however Consider that "JuicyLinks" guy from gfy - everyone has seen that guy posting - and I dont know about you lot but everytime I have seen a post from that guy it has been a couple of lines of complete shit and then a pic of himself followed by his 600 pixel high sig - it is completely and utterly insane how about the guys with 500k sig files? Yes thats right, I have seen with my own eyes at least a dozen guys with sigs that are 500k to 1meg in size madness

Everyone needs to make money somehow.
I have a bit more respect for sig whores then the bums panhandling at the corner 7/11. Then again I have no use for GFY and never go over there. |

I want to set the record straight - I thought the cop was a prostitute

Simply put 'sigwhores' are a huge asset to a board. The more posts, the more popular a board seems, and the more people visit it. While I hate the idea of 'sigwhores' or 'postwhores' ..... unfortunately thats the model that seems to work.

LB - I have to disagree. The popularity of a board is sort like traffic and we all know that quantity does not equal quality.
SigWhores suck ass IMHO. They do nothing to contribute to the community & are only there to leech of the "popularity" of the board. We could easily be on the top of the list by letting every Tom, Dick & Harry post whatever mindless topic spewed into their heads. But I like being #6 I think this board (and a few others that have legit rules) are a much better place to get business done, get straight answers to legit questions, bounce ideas off each other, etc. |

All the way from Room 101
|
Greenguy & Jim is #6 on Boardtracker without sigwhores and without paid posting.
IMO that speaks volumes.

And I agree with you Greenie. I truly believe that both sig and post whores are the scourge of the resource business. They never have anything productive to offer the community and make it hard for real business people find useful information.

I think sig whores are to this biz what the bums panhandling on the corner are. They are a cancer to a board, just look at GFY. |
