You would do well not to take advice from anybody that has an advertisement in their signature space on this forum.

The vast majority of those are people that are being paid per post to advertise with those signatures.  Therefore, they'll say just about anything in a discussion thread just to increase their post count (and therefore increase their income).  Generally, they know less about the topic they are discussing than the person asking the questions.

Danny is correct. 

Often the people with the ads in their signatures are doing nothing but spouting random advice that is often not accurate merely to get the ads in front of people.  Be wary of advice from people with the signature ad campaigns.
