Very true, and as long as we're quibbling over grammar, 'signup' (or
'sign-up') is a noun or an adjective, not a verb. You can have a Signup Form
or a New User Signup Page, but the links on SurveyMonkey.com, as they're
phrased now, should read 'Sign Up Now.'

Here's the relevant entry from Merriam-Webster:
