What r/Affiliatemarketing's rules say about promotion

4 of 8 published rules mention promotion, advertising or spam. Quoted from the community's own rules page, not summarised.

1. You must join the sub to post or comment

   rule 2 of 8

   In order to cut down on spam and scammers, you must become a member of the sub to post or comment. Many people seem to come to the sub to TAKE rather than give. We often get people posting listicles or guides or making claims of income, but if they were the experts they claim to be, they would be members of the sub. To post or comment, please click the join button before posting. The only requirement is you must have 250 karma to join. This, once again, is to foil the bots.

   Removal reason shown to posters: Posting or commenting as a non-member

2. Affiliate offers and Tools

   rule 3 of 8

   No unsolicited advertising of affiliate programs. Use the sticky thread, *POST YOUR OFFER IN THE STICKY THREAD AS A COMMENT. *TAG IT WITH THE AFFILIATE OFFER FLAIR. *MUST CONTAIN A BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND LINK BOTH TO THE INFORMATION PAGE AND THE SIGN UP PAGE. *MUST BE A SPECIFIC OFFER. (NO LINKS TO THE HOMEPAGE OF CLICKBANK OR JVZOO OR SIMILAIR NETWORK. MUST LINK TO A SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR OPPORTUNITY) All offers that violate this will be removed and the user banned.

   Removal reason shown to posters: Spam

3. Inserting links in comments (Spamming #2)

   rule 5 of 8

   -We will remove blatant attempts to farm backlinks or affiliate links and links where we cannot tell if there is a tracking code. -Links to websites or blogs containing a sales page/sign-up will be removed. -Links to "Guru's" or high priced coaching programs will be removed. (and the community will hate you;) -Links to tools/offers must be in the sticky thread for offers. Want to recommend something as part of a discussion? Great. Use the name of th, not the link.

   Removal reason shown to posters: Outside of offer thread - spam

4. Selling to the Community (Spamming #3)

   rule 6 of 8

   Don't spam. Your post will be removed if you are trying to make a buck off the community. Outside of the affiliate and tool thread, you cannot get customers within the sub.

   Removal reason shown to posters: Spam
