Welcome to you, but please refer to the forum rules on advertising and affiliate links. Forum Rules & Guidelines

Oh that's annoying I did refer to them and changed my sig. once to account for it. It's not an affiliate link, I'll go and change again.

I hope that's ok now, please let me know if not.

Thanks,

[Emma]

Sorry, I saw the 'ref=' and naturally assumed it was an affiliate.

What's the site all about? Do you own it?

Just for those who're interested, here are the UKBL rules on links:

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) or Network Marketing

Discussion of Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is permitted here, however the overt promotion, advertising of and linking to such websites and schemes is not - unless it is for the purposes of discussion and debate (or the link is in the member's signature block and/or profile). All NM / MLM links must be annotated [MLM] regardless of where they are (including signatures).

Affiliate Schemes

Discussion and/or promotion of affiliate schemes is welcome. Actual affilate links to such schemes are permitted however all affiliate links must be annotated [Aff] unless they are in the 'Franchise & Affiliate Opportunities Offered section' or in the member's signature.

Adult (non-pornographic) & Gambling sites

Feel free to promote your adult (non-pornographic) or gambling sites if that's how you make your legal living. However, be advised that links to pages of a 'questionable' nature will be deleted and the user possibly banned. You may link to your site in your sig and promote it in the advertising forums but the Title and all links throughout the board must be annotated [Adult] (and in red where possible).

We're quite liberal but we want to protect the membership from spam and stuff. I'm sure you understand.

Hehe yep you got me

It's a shopping site I've just made. The trouble is I'm a web developer, not a marketeer, so I'm finding promoting it hard work. Hence launching a £20 pick list competition to try and get some more members to sign up.

But I've found it very difficult to get the word out to anyone! I thought it would be easier but people are very quick (and rightly so I guess) to jump on anything that looks at all 'spammy'. I don't suppose you have any tips on ways to promote the site/competition I'm running do you?

Anything you could suggest would be appreciated!

There's always Full Membership here. From £2.08 per month, it's a no-brainer!

Hehe I'll think about it, thanks.
