Do I need to buy the right to adverts before i can put amazon affiliates on my forum?

Hello @chuckorion

You can not add new ad's to your forum until you pay for ad;s to be removed by credits.
We use the Ad's to make money.

If you pay us to remove our ad's then we have made the money from you and not the ad's so then your not breaking the TOS after a year you will have to pay with credits again to remove the ad's or remove your ad's.

In the other hand if your forum is not making money and it is FM's forums or charities Where you Do not make any money then you can add the affiliates. Your forum can not make any money on the ad's what so ever.

Unless you pay us to remove the FM / Google ad's first.

I hope i have made it as clear as i can to you.

P.S we will know if you remove ad's from your forum without paying and will close your forum down.
We will also know if you place ad's on your forum without paying credits to remove our ad's first.

SO please don't risk it.

Do the adverts apply to administrator of the forum.
WHEN I POST LINKS(URLS) ON MY FORUM THEY BECOME SHORTENED AND WHEN I CLICK, IT OPENS A PAGE WHERE I AM REQUIRED TO SKIP AD BEFORE I AM REDIRECTED.

Some links to popular sites will load the adfly page first.  adfly is one revenue source for Forumotion.

Please avoid using caps as it is considered as screaming and is very hard to read.

Most ad's show to all members on the forum.

Some forums have older forums and they have a setting in the ACP that lets them turn off ad's for Admins only
and the newer forums do not have this setting on the forum ACP

The only way to stop ad's on your forum as i have already said is to pay for all your ad's to be removed in the ACP by buying credits from Us.

Note:
Ad's are not the same as Affiliates

Ad's: are Items placed on your forum to make money by us or by the forum founder.
You can not place your own ad's on your forum without paying us to have our ad's to be removed to all members and non members of your forum.

Affiliates: are links to free sites and forums that you place on your forum to help others to get more members or to link members to characteristics where you as a founder do not make money out of in anyway shape or forum.

Posted links:
In our system we have a system that makes the links a little smaller this is so big links don't look such a mess in posts.

Adfly ad's:
Adfly ad's are in place to the following things...

• Forums that are banned from us
  
• sites that may be asking for money or to make money
  
• Sites that are on our Black list (banned from our servers)
  
• some other sites have them to make money before there linked to there forum or site.
