Why do you have to link to a blog? It's already in your siggy, if you want to contribute here then do so. Don't spam us with blog crap.

I've already written up the deal once, it doesn't make sense to write it up again. Plus the coupon is a printable so you will need a link to that any way.

You had no issue at all with the multitude of blog posts up to now here, so I fail to see what set you off. Maybe it's the popup on his site.
In any case you are a big girl and can make your own choices. One of which can be to not click through when you see it is to a blog post.
I would really like you to stay LG. I like you and your deals a lot. But if you feel you can't, then vaya con dios. See you on the other side.
Hugs!

It's more the "i am going to make you click the link if you want to know the deal so I can make $$$ off you" attitude..... The rest of us share for free but some can't share unless they make a few pennies from you. Not looking to contribute my time (and effort) for "free" if others can't do the same.

I just want to mention in my own opinion there is nothing inherently wrong with people making a buck off their time. I make lots of bucks off my time. The time for boo-hooing about blogs is over, the internet and that awful show have done their damage. The milk is spilt. Although I do hate Walmart, I did send my DH there for the bags of BE and I hope Aarn makes his 1c or whatever for us printing the coupons. That is us helping each other too. Aarn I will mention that the interruptive popup on your blog is hugely irritating (to me) and it is giving me an aversion to going there. Not saying I won't, or that anyone else won't make their own choices, but it is bad web manners if you want people to follow/check your blog. Now that I know there is a popup, when you post, I simply google the subject of your deal and find the relevant information elsewhere (natch: at one of your web competitors). Not saying this to be mean, just giving a little insight on the browsing behavior of many. If you were to post a simple description of the deal with your referral link to the printable coupon in your post, many here would click on it and print it right then. I would. But now that I know you have a popup, I google for what I need. It is what it is. Slickdeals is the only place left that doesn't allow any blogging, watermarking, or referral linking unless it is benefiting them. I am fairly sure this place here will never end up as large or as managed as SD

Unless something has changed since I installed it, there should be a "Never see this Pop up again" link on the pop up. Click that and you will never see it again. Although I can see both of your points. In order to soothe any hurt feelings I'll copy and paste any deals worth mentioning so you don't have to go to my site to see them. Just trying to save a little time.

And my feelings aren't hurt. LGs aren't either LOL. It is just her personal peeve.
You can post any way you like and your contributions are appreciated. Just wanted to let you know how the setup of your site might cause unintended consequences when you post into a group of power users. We will very quickly go around/not cooperate with site features we don't care for.
Have a great day!

As a blogger I have to say that I am not sure what proper etiquette is for forums - they have always confused me, so I stayed away from them However, when I stumbled upon this one it was so welcoming that I was excited and shared it with Aarn.
I haven't posted anything because I wasn't sure how anyone felt about posting blog things. I also have a popup for email subscribers, but they are both set to show to someone no more than twice. The only time I see them is if I am incognito.
I will start trying to post some deals here, too since y'all have been so welcoming. I will say it's much easier to just paste a link than an entire deals. For me I post somewhere near 20 times a day on my blog and to about 10 social media outlets for each blog post a day - I am forever behind! lol
So, I would love an open communication, since I don't know much about forums and it sounds like maybe y'all don't know much about blogging(?) Again, I appreciate how welcoming y'all have been!

Oh we know plenty about blogging LOL. Anyway, all deals are welcome, any way you would like to post them. Like I said before we are in general a group of very experienced coupon people so there may be some occasional backlash. However, I know that attracting quality members who post actual deals is critical to maintain the life of any forum, so I will try to make sure nothing gets out of hand. Again thanks. I did not know what to do when CDAMs site went away, and I was really happy to see all the refunds at your blog. THOSE I will tolerate a popup for
