Thing is, I actually want to help people, and I want to teach. If someone chooses to go to my site, they can find the link from my profile, and there it will be, so I do not need it in my signature. 
The secret chef sig leads to one of those old-school internet marketing sites that we all love to hate. You know the ones that look like a bad informercial! Secrets of restaurants? Please... give me a break!
I don't have to do that for my site, content speaks for itself.
The only thing I would point out is the irony of you complaining about sig spam when your signature leads to your site. I am not sure if that is allowed here at ChefTalk, as I was asked to take mine off. Just something to think about. |
i don't mind links in sigs (obviously)....however if that's the ONLY reason you post on the site....is to get that link out there...and your posts are nonsensical (read secret chefs, they add NO input and are clearly only posted to spam) that's my pet peeve.
I also don't make money off my blog, and everything posted on my blog (food related) you can usually find somewhere on this site (because I usually cut and paste my posts from this site....to my blog)
There are more than a few examples of people doing this, one was some kitchen supply guy always posting in the equipment forum.....
I don't think these people even read the threads.
