    as i noticed the threads in freebie section are full with freebie giveaways which in the end of the op's post contain stupid sentences like:

    - If you are looking for [...] post "I'm interested"
    - Please PM for the details.
    - message me for details
    - just post in here 'im interested' and ill pm you details on how to get them.
    - Just post "Im interested, pm me" and i will pm you link

    and of course the PM contains sentences like:


    - After you do this, you can sign up as an affiliate, and make money yourself! It's so easy! Please sign up under the above link or [his affiliate link]
    - Don't forget to leave a Green if you appreciate the work!
    -[affiliate link] do it seriously dont miss out
    do it! you wont regret it
    - Please use my referral id (in the link)

    WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? jeez

    why can't they just post up a regular link and their affiliate id in the thread and ask nicely that as a reward for their freebie people can sign up under their ref?(it was a retorical question)

    this would mean no more PM-ing, no more posting i'm interested, and keeping it clean

    ....but, i'm almost sure that MANY people won't enjoy reading this post, but heck, its their problem

    cheers,
    Tom

    Affiliate links are not allowed to be posted on DigitalPoint, neither are tinyurls or other redirects.

    Then how can we find the affiliate link ??

    Some websites have www.website.com?Aff=XXX format , Some has www.website.com?id=XXX. No one will use his affiliate link. They will just register through website without any affiliate. Think just what you will do in this case..

    Well most of site's signup page have reffer by option where we can put ID or Name. So it could be easy one. Even on DP we don't have I but still we have referral.
