Ok to put link to one of my posts in my sig file?

[hostingp]

Hi,

I just was wondering if it is ok to put a link to one of my other posts in my sig file. It's a post that I made in the "Straight from the Merchant's Mouth" forum offering a discount on web hosting for DOD members. I was just wondering if a link to that post can be included in my sig file for a few days until the discount is expired?

The sig file would read something like:

Name of my business
Check out my discount for web hosting for DOD'ers!
then a link to that post


I don't want to break any rules here, so I thought I would ask first!

Also, because I am a merchant, can I also place a link in the Affiliate Spam Central advertising my discount for DOD'ers? Please let me know!

Thanks!

Jennifer

(P.S. Not sure if the owners are open to it, but if you want to annouce the discount in some way to the members (in a formal way) that would be ok too. ) Never hurts to ask!

Hi Jennifer!

The Affiliate Spam Central forum is for our general membership to post reward & affiliate programs for referrals. It is not for merchant posts (as you stated below, the correct forum for merchant direct posts is the From the Merchant's Mouth forum).

And, regarding advertising in your signature line, Mayor had previously posted the following on 10/29/01:

Ok, I've given this some thought and taken input from our trusty moderators. And this is the verdict.

Advertising in your sig line is NOT allowed. If you have a site that falls in the realm of "affiliate spam", it must be posted appropriately in the Affiliate Spam Central forum. If you are a legitimate merchant, you may make one post in the Meet the Merchant forum.

Other sigs advertising sites are not allowed. Moderators will ask you to remove them.

Thank you for your cooperation. Now go grab some deals!

Mayor

Thanks for asking & please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.
