Many online stores offer some type of affiliate or "Refer a Friend" arrangement, where people can earn commissions or bonuses. For example, Car-Seat.Org is currently an affiliate for the Google network, Amazon.com and eBay. These arrangements are considered commerce and are subject to our guidelines on advertising.
Everyone wants to make a buck, myself included. The problem is when they all want to post their link in reply to numerous threads seeking the best deals on baby gear. With a busy forum like this one, that can mean dozens or even hundreds of people if it goes unchecked.
Posting deals, coupon codes and other bargains is encouraged on our shopping forums, unless you or your business (or one where there is any affiliation with you) profits from the link, coupon or referral.
If a member is requesting a deal or code, you are welcome instead to send them your affiliate or referral information by Private Message. Please do not reply to their post in public, even to ask them to send you a message or check their email.
Community members may also post your personal home businesses (including an affiliate or referral link) in this thread- http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=110005 .
Finally, if you wish to advertise your personal business, website, affiliate link or code within your signature, there is now a home business sponsorship that allows this. Please see http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=20767 . Please note that this applies to individuals and sole proprietors who operate personal businesses from home. It does not apply to corporate entities, including small and retail businesses/partnerships.
In particular, Diapers.com referrals have started to proliferate. If you wish to list yours in public, please consider one of the above options. I am still considering various suggestions from recent months that I start a referral arrangement for Car-Seat.Org, but have not yet made a decision on this.
