You are not allowed to have call to action banners or text in your signature. The link goes right to
a download for exactly what was described in his signature. Personally I think this is a witch hunt for
no good reason at all.
I've seen a lot of members (mods, exec VIPs, you name it) with signatures containing calls to action. Its against rules but seems - who cares...
If we look at the bright side, it is informative. I watched the videos etc and learned a lot from it.
As sneaky as it is, I assume it's just an affiliate link with a misleading title. AFAIK, Donor/Jr.Vip's are allowed to have an affiliate link in their signature.
I mentioned this a long time ago, back when I thought making half a post and linking to your own blog to read the rest was against the rules. It just looked like a way to divert traffic rather than participating within BHW. Back when I thought creating email lists using BHW members was against the rules if you did not have an approved product. But no one seemed to care, I remember some got banned for stuff like this, but ow well. And it's not about "who cares" it's more about the integrity of the forums, I can imagine shit turning into yet another WF disaster.
the question is why they're not allowing other members to do the same. Posting half method here remaing method in his own site to get traffic. Why they allowed self promotion for Matt? If I do the same, mods will ban me instantly. I too want to get traffic from a top 500 alexa site.I imagine that it is more about people complaining about another persons methods. Instead of complaining, what would happen if you sat back and tried to understand what they were doing and why while ignoring the easy and simplistic ideas. The easy answer is making money. The more difficult answer is how. It is the more difficult answer you should pay attention to. One of the things that the successful do is constantly test. You should be learning from them.My father taught me that a person with their mouths open learns nothing. It is the ones that keep quiet, and observe, and listen that learn the lesson.
