Are referral links considered affiliate links?
-
I’ve used some referral links in this post: http://scullyspeaks.wordpress.com/2013/07/19/july-2013-birchbox-review/
I think bircbox is awesome and its a company that I like. I don’t get money or anything from those links, I just get a discount in their shop if someone joins birchbox from the links. I don’t want to violate WPs TOS though. Are the links in my post considered affiliate links?
What about the referral code I’ve listed on this page? http://scullyspeaks.wordpress.com/2013/06/28/the-oscars-of-beauty-awards/ Is that considered an affiliate link?
Please let me know so that I can removed them if so.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes, those are affiliate links. Of course they are. You’re getting paid, whether it’s a discount or cash.

…technically its not a discout, its reward points. IF you get enough reward points, you can use the points in the birchbox store. But you can only redeem in increments of 100, I’ve not yet gotten one referral from those links anyway…mostly the points are gotten from reviews done on birchboxes site

Technically schemeically .. the legal definitions are very clear whether it is in cash or kind you are being remunerated and that’s a no go here.

Huh? Well, can I talk about a business and include my email address “for more information?”

Well, can I talk about a business and include my email address "for more information?"You mean like posting: “Ace Fried Possum is the greatest! For more info contact me at [email address or URL]”? I get dozens of comments like that every day. It’s called spam. Not a great idea. You know the rules here, so don’t try to be creative in order to get around them.

Kind of a loose definition of the word “spam.” I read the terms. Too bad. I liked some of the people I have met here at WordPress, but I am in business and do not write simply to satisfy a need to express myself. This is not the appropriate place for me and I will move on down the road.
