First off I wanna start by saying hello and I appreciate being a new member here. Are affiliate links allowed in forums? And what are the best ways to generate leads on here if they aren't?

    Not this one.

    What every forum has is a "Terms of Service" or "Rules" read and follow them for each forum you want to spam with your crap

    Hey al . Thanks for the support. The crap I was gonna spam is actually the highest rated online program for building an online business, but I'll give you an A for effort.

      I really do not need your grade as there was no effort on my part at all.

        No, they are not all the highest rated 4 years in a row by imreport card.com, so take whatever grade you want for your failing prediction. Moving on! Smh

          Oh I did not realize that IMreport card (nothing more than a affiliate site) was involved.

          And, I did not make any predictions.

          Finally, I do not care how good or bad a product is, if your strategy is to just spam forums (based on your question, that is your plan) then you are destined to failure. There are many ways to utilize forum marketing in a positive way.

          If the product you speak of is the best then there should be a whole section on forum marketing. Did you actually buy and use this product? Even the worst IM products out there teach basic forum marketing.

          One part of every lesson on forum marketing, no matter where you get this lesson, is not to use affiliate links on forums.It is a waste of time and effort. And, if you do not get banned at the very least you will be viewed as a spammer by the community you want to be part of.

          So good luck to you

    Almost is not, this was clearly stated in the rules of forums. Please read the rules of forums that you want to join in.

      You may want to reread the rules or the salient posts to this thread.

      Check 3.6.



      Cheers

        The straight answer my friend is no. Affiliate links are not allowed in the posts. Also affiliate links are not allowed in your signature, but you are allowed (in your signature) to put your website url.

          You are right on posts and wrong on the sig...this was discussed at length on the rules thread I linked, and the Community Manager addressed it when the rule was challenged.

          It would behoove you to read the new rules, friend. I tried to make that easy for folks by posting a screenshot above.

          Allow me to post another...
