Grogan and a few others keep urging us to implement a sig whoring policy on Oprano. My question is why?

Is obvious from a poster that its easy money and you get paid to post in a manner of speaking.

From a prospective buyers standpoint whats the ROI? You get your banner displayed in a ton of messages? Is that truely a "branding" exercise?

When I think of successful branding exercises I think of that annoying Quickbucks ad or more recently Evil Chris's radio ad that borrows elements from that ad and a Purecash one. But then again I may be way off on what I consider a successful branding exercise...what do I know eh?

2 questions Id like to discuss with that being said.

1. Do you really think that you get your money's worth by buying a SIG spot? Why or why not?

2. Do you realize if Oprano embraced this policy there would be an onslaught of posts with smileys as the body of the message just to have a sig view in the thread?

So lets hear it Grogan and Brand0n and a few of you others.
With that being said Ill add this. If anyone is stupid enough to pay a large amount of money I'd sell my SIG on any board...provided that it was the right amount of money and it was a program I could endorse.
