Bitcoin Forum

Not sure where to post this but if my future service has an affiliate program this is ok to do a signature   campaign with in this forum right?

Yes, you can. There's no restriction of what kind of link you can put on your signature except for scam websites, link with malware.

I was interested in this stuff as well - you can link anything including links to projects, referral links and stuff?

Yes, as mentioned above, just be responsible of what kind links you're going to include. Affiliate link and referral are not allowed on post but its fine on signature space.

Thanks for the answer! Yes, creating an affiliate program for service coming online soon and didn't know if I could have other's place it in their signature's obviously to get paid twice one through the affiliate and one from my company.

As a newbie rank, your signature will look like a normal text and not clickable with limited of 50 characters corrected by SFR10, Signature will be updated soon as you rank up it to jr.member member or purchased the copper membership (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote).

Thanks, I didn't see that copper membership.

Surely you can put any ads in signature campaign as long as it's not a scam & obviously related to crypto.

There is an issue about this way back. I remembered some people part of a signature campaign where there signatures have links containing their own referral links got a negative feedback for promoting the service at the same time using their referral code. I don't know if this thing cleared out already but definitely having a service here with an affiliate program is still good but what is unclear is about members having their signatures altered with their referral links on it.

You can either pay signature participants to promote your site or just let be an affiliate partner but I really doubt a lot of people will be interested since affiliate program does not guarantee a payment, most of the signature participants would prefer to get a pay in a regular basic according to the post requirement.

A few corrections:

• Newbies no longer have the option of adding 50 characters as part of their signatures ^{[that option no longer exists on their "Forum Profile Information" part]}...

  - Newbie: No signature.
  
• They need to reach "Member" rank in order to have clickable links.

I believe OP's case is different from what you're referring to.
^{- He/she is after promoting the referral link for his/her own future services.}

Ah, yeah, thank you, this is correct, I just saw the other thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030366.0) by theymos with the new newbie restrictions.

Of course I would use my own signature to do so but more geared to let others promote my service through affiliate links on their signature blocks.

We can already see some users promoting products with referral link on their signature links. Some campaigns are doing that.

There could be some success to it if they just know how to do it. Its very difficult to make users register under out links because most of the people knew how these works. Most of the time affiliate links will work if traffic is from organic searches or probably promoted thru adnetworks.

Thanks for the information.

Signature campaigns put themselves affiliate link to track how many visitors from bitcointalk register on their website and what kind of activity they do (in most cases casinos do these kind of things along with bitly links). Also some signature campaigns let you to edit their signature and include your affiliate link while still getting paid and on another hand, there are some promotions in games and rounds where you put signature with your affiliate link and take part in their promotions.
OP I showed you a lot of examples, so don't worry.

I don't know why, but they are doing it not that often - not all campaigns have affiliate links in their signatures to keep track of signups from Bitcointalk. For example, your signature is just direct link to advertised website, same like Bitvest above. Maybe owners of websites have other ways how to track users who come from Bitcointalk.
And yeah, some campaigns allow to put your own referral link in your signature and earn some extra commission.

Campaigns have different settings for that matters and both of you have a point since for those owners who implement  that they are just monitoring if their campaign is successful or not, But their are signature campaigns before that allowing his participants to insert their own links so that they can earn more if they can gather new site up from the platform.

@OP But make sure that your service is legit since if you are going to promote a scams then you might not get what you want here.

Without much thought, campaigns (mostly casinos) allowing members to input their referral link are trying benefits from the participants wanting to gains referral commission which motivate them to promote the project in a way which they know will attract patronizer probably in specific boards then it becomes a win-win situation for both the casino and them since additional effort are been added.

My best guess about not seeing tracking link in signature code is as a result of this project already having an assurance of getting their money worth via getting patronizers from campaign carried out on the forum. Most new campaign have those link since they're new to adverting on the forum and wanting to see how profitable it's.

OP your free to run your campaign like others have already indicated and I'm open to working with you. Here's my portfolio; ⬛Brainboss Signature Management Services⬛ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124215) don't be shy to drop a message.

As long as your signature is not related to scam you will be fine to wearing it as your promotion way.

But you may need to spend money to make a signature, if you don't know how to make it.

There is some service who offer to make signature in this forum, you can see it in service board.

Is there someone that already tried it? It would be nice to see stats how many clicks/conversions you can get for wearing the affiliate link as a signature.

Gambling site who runs a signature campaign would normally add a referral link so they will know if the signature campaign is working, but there's one way to find out to see if signature campaign referral is good, I will give this signature campaign as an example.

you can add a referral link in their signature code.. not only this signature campaign actually, even in bitsler,, just check it.
 

I remember some campaigns provided unique code for each participants and from that they tracked how many people they actually drove to their services individually. There were many occasions where campaigns allowed participants to modify signature codes to have the links with their referral code.

It is allowed to wear anything on your signature and also paying other people on this forum for wearing same set of signatures. There could be limitations on illegal things as per the jurisdiction of forum. Also, affiliate program can be your own business or where you are affiliated to. Signature space and personal text are purely meant for advertising or personal things which allowed when you wear legal things. But, community guidelines of this forum is not allowing you to wear ponzi or scammy things which may ended up in negative trust.

But, when there is a signature code, then it is pretty easy to set it and that means that it is worn by many users and that means less possible profit per user. I mean wearing a signature that promotes for example an exchange where you get ref commissions :).
