Cheap Advertising Idea: Rent Signature Space of Other Posters

There seems to be almost no limit to the creative solutions people can dream up, when it comes to marketing and advertising. I agree that I'd want to know a little more about the person and their posting habits before getting onboard with such a program.

I have spent a lot of time in the "offline" part of the marketing industry... and the only thing that strikes me as problematic with such an approach is that it would almost inevitably be used for "make money" web sites... and that is SUCH an overcluttered market, with millions of people vying to get their affiliate links noticed... all hoping to "click for pennies."

I think it might work better for something "non-money making," in the sense that you could perhaps successfully advertise "porcelain restoration" in the signature line of someone who frequented hobbyist forums for people collecting porcelain dolls. Or something like that.

This is a very good idea and I have never thought of this. It is amazing. Some people are just very creative and find cheap ways for their internet marketing.

But I think I would rather use my signature for my own marketing than getting paid to use it for others.
