Seriously , anyone know the going rate?

Low end , median , top end?

What does the sig whore need to do?

Break legs? Display advertising? Extortion?

Platinum Bucks pays $250 for 2 months of my sig at GFY. Then again, I am not a top poster, nor a top sig whore. I post when I am compelled to. Sometimes I post useful info, sometimes a comment, sometimes nothing. Platinum Bucks seems a bit more laid back in their approach though. No minimum post requirements or anything from what I have seen. Mona contacted me a couple months back and asked if I would like to fly the sig in exchange for money. Sure. I mean, if I am posting anyway, I may as well get some free money out of the deal I guess.

When I was flying a paid for sig...
I did it for TCG and they paid a flat rate plus a per post fee.

some months I would recieve as much as $1,000.00 or more

never less than $300.00 and I flew for them, for like 9 months or so

I usually averaged around $500 - $600 bucks though

the only time I ever sold my sig, it was to dating gold and they paid me $300 for one month, but that was before the big sig whore craze...

Here's a direct cut and paste from an email I got last week. I've X'd out the identifiers to protect the innocent from being made fun of lol --

"I would also like to take this time to announce the availability of
advertising within my board signatures. As many of you know I get many
views and pages of replies to all my posts. I have nearly 10,000 posts
across 12 of the biggest boards and will certainly double that within a
few months. So here's what I'm offering...

I can guarantee a minimum of 2,500 posts, a minumum of 100 new threads,
monthly across 12 of the largest boards. I will also actively work to
send new affiliates through my ICQ contact list, which contains over 200
active affiliates. If for some reason clicks/joins are lacking, I have
many resources to make up for it, this will be more than simply a sig
spot. $3,000/mo. enjoys the best exposure available. I'm sure my
accomplishments with the marketing of XXX provide an idea of my
abilities with your company."

ask Brad. he gets a group rate.

I need to hit Zimm up for a raise! :unsure:

The highest I've been paid to be a sig whore was 5000 dollars....I don't generally sell my sig; but, if someone retains my services, the sig comes as part of the package.

One of these days, I gotta get me one of those SIG things...

Feel free to use mine! :P

We need Hellpuppy - he understands Gonzoese better than most.

I think a Gonzo Translator is mandatory as a boards tool.

Ah I never come in through the front door I guess ;)

Translation: GonZo speculates this is the artist formerly known around here as MasterP and who also posts on other boards as 2pac, etc. He was working hard to get him a slice of that $2500 elsewhere. He was one of two fired from Oprano immediately after the takeover.

This is why you're the best :)

That is not the proper response.

I'm sure the response is in Google, but only a true Byte Brother would recognize it and be able to use it properly.
