Well, thanks for for clicking on my spammy title.
I have good news and bad news for you.

The bad news: There is absolutely nothing illegal or even mildly morally questionable suggested in this thread.

The good news: This will keep your pocket $120 happier! And you'll get great hosting for stupendously cheap.

EVEN MORE GOOD NEWS: There are indeed boobs in this post.

What's Going On?

I don't usually do client work, but I've been making a few sites for other people over the past month, and when I have, I've given them my Dreamhost referral code so I'd get the affiliate fee.

As a way of saying thanks, Dreamhost has sent me 5 invitations. Which is basically FREE MONEY for 5 of you, and 1 of me.

No, SERIOUSLY, FREE MONEY. Keep reading.

If you use one of these 5 invitation codes when signing up for Dreamhost, you will get $100 off 2 years of hosting + a domain*.

Before you say, "pay for 2 years at a time?!?!?!?! OMFGz! FUCK THAT!" check this out.

Regular Dreamhost Prices:
1 year of hosting + 1 domain = $120
2 years of hosting + 1 domain = $216

THESE CODES WILL GET YOU 24 MONTHS OF HOSTING FOR $116 PLUS A DOMAIN!


THAT'S QUALITY HOSTING FOR $4.83 PER MONTH! PLUS A DOMAIN.


I know what you're thinking... What's the catch?


Good question. These codes expire January 15 so DON'T WAIT. GOGOGO.

If you have ever paid for hosting you will realize this is a retardedly good deal. I wish I'd found something like this when I was signing up for Dreamhost. Hell, I wish I could use one of these codes right now, but that's against policy.

EACH CODE WILL ONLY WORK ONCE. ONCE THEY'RE USED UP, THAT'S IT!
YOU DON'T HAVE FOREVER TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND. JANUARY 15 THEY EXPIRE!


IF YOU TAKE ME UP ON THIS, PLEASE SEND ME A PM WITH THE NAME YOU USED TO SIGN UP AND I WILL LEAVE YOU POSITIVE iTRADER AFTER CONFIRMING YOUR PURCHASE.

SIGN UP FOR DREAMHOST HERE & USE 1 OF THESE PROMO CODES:

*You can use this discount with a 1 year plan, but then you only get $15 off. Not too exciting.


P.S. Dear mods. If there is anything wrong with this post besides being mildly obnoxious, please notify me and I'll gladly change it. I'm not a douchebag and I would really prefer not to be banned for something easily resolvable :)


/edit/ already fixed the problem. No titties outside of StS. Read the Rules of Engagement #11. Don't do it again.

Meh, no different than all the other self-made promo codes spammed on dreamhost.

basically any user can log into dreamhost panel, then goto "Rewards"

Refer friends and loved ones (even strangers) to DreamHost, and earn cold hard cash!
You will get referral credit for anyone who:
Enters that info@kblinker.com referred them when they sign up.
Uses a promo code that you created when signing up.
Clicks Web Hosting by DreamHost Web Hosting: Web Sites, Domain Registration, WordPress, Ruby on Rails, all on Debian Linux! and then signs up without entering any promo code or referrer.
And how much will you earn? You decide! Either get 10% forever of everything your referrals (plus 5% for people they refer!) spend on hosting with us, or choose to just get a $97.00 one-time payment (plus $5 for sub-referrals!) per referral!
As soon as a person completes the sign up process, their referral info CAN NOT BE CHANGED IN ANY WAY.
We highly recommend you make promo codes and give those to people you refer. It's the best way to be sure you get credit!
Here are a bunch of rewards buttons and banners you can use on your website if you'd like!
Click to expand...

From there you can click "Create Your Own Promo Codes!"

Make your own DreamHost promo code and you'll get $97.00 (less the discount you give and cost to you of any bonus features) every time somebody uses it to sign up!
Click to expand...

From there you can give people up to 5 free domain registrations (75$ off your refferal), or 3 unique IP (90$ off your refferal), or you can simply cut off someone's upfront payment (97$ max discount for 2 years).

Like for example, I just made SCAMINDH , gives you 51$ off a monthly, 97$ off year or 2 years.

So hardly scamming Dreamhost, just rather trying to hype people into thinking they're getting a deal out of the norm, and course with your coupon codes you only really bank if you can get people to sign up for 2 years. Seems like the only real way they can take any serious customers is if they lock em in yearly, especially since they don't refund paypal payments.

So you fail at:
1) Trying to convince people you're scamming Dreamhost (especially when you need to throw in the 'This is not illegal!' shit).
2) Trying to push an affiliate offer on an affiliate forum, as if we didn't know better.
 
Damn, I thought people here would be more in tune with my sarcasm but I guess not. Allow me to address the confusion.

a) There were boobs in this post originally. Good boobs. They must have been removed by admins.
b) There is obviously no "scam" in this post. That was just a title to get people to click. I admit this in the 1st line where I say "thanks for clicking my spammy title."
c) I never hid the fact that Id get an aff fee. I clearly said "this will put money in 5 of your pockets, and 1 of mine."
d) There is a difference between invites & coupon codes. Coupons require the affiliate (me) to cover the cost of the discount out of their affiliate fee (e.g. if I give you a $20 discount, dreamhost takes $20 out of me fee). With invitations, they offer the discount without slapping me with an additional fee. This is why I;m sharing these codes.

Ive been a dreamhost user for a long time, so if these were NOT time sensisitive and if they WERE plain ole coupon codes, I could have been spamming this forum with them ages ago. But that is not the case.
e) I still hold that this is a great deal. If you need hosting, run with it.
f) I thought my "sales" letter was pretty entertaining, I was laughing the majority of the time I was writing it. I guess that didnt come across. Sorry, Ill do better next time.
g) Would anyone like to buy some SE1s, SE2s or SE3s ? ;)
 
if anyone actually wants one of these codes for some reason and not from fuckstick up here, shoot me a PM, i'm not going to spam
