If you ever get the chance to share a deal with a friend, won't you please help out the Roundup Ranch also? Anytime you post a deal using a board link, there's a chance someone might shop through it. When (if) they do so, we get a very small commission. Since it does take money for hosting and our software, we use the commission money from our affiliates to pay for the board.

So if you like the Roundup Ranch and wouldn't mind helping out, please take a minute to read over the directions below to find out how to keep this board in motion by posting board links.

-----------------
When you come upon a great deal, please don't post a direct link to that deal! There are several reasons for this. It could be that it's a direct link to the store and the board will miss out on any commission from the sale. Or... it could be an affiliate link that belongs to another place online and they will get the commission when people shop through that link.


First, create a new post. Write up all the information about this product that you'd like. You can include a picture (make sure it's from the store website and is not linked in any way to another online website. Sometimes people will embed their affiliate links, so if you copy & paste a picture from another site (not from the store site), it does the same thing as in the previous paragraph...just gives our credit away.

Some things you can include to help make the search easier would be Product Number, Exact Name of Product (to search for) or the area it's in (clearance, womens, toys...etc).


Second, visit our affiliate page for the board link to the store you're posting a deal from. http://www.roundupranch.com/affiliatepages/ You can find this link easily by going to the top navigation bar (near the home/arcade area...and choosing shopping links.

Then go back to the deal you were posting and paste the link into it!


It really is as simple as that and the best part about it, you've done more than you know to help support the board and it's so appreciated! :wub:



Thanks for reading!
