I have been looking at hubs about referral trackers, but the hubs I've seen mostly explain what they are and how to code them. So I know what they are now, but -- I do not know how to code. At all. Have never, ever done it. Not even anything simple. Never. Ever. Despite this, is it possible for me to put a link on my profile page like everyone else has, inviting people to sign up? Can I use the little link button instead of typing in code?
I went into edit mode on my profile, typed in and highlighted a "Click to join" message, then clicked on the little link symbol. Then a window asked for a URL. Instead of a url, I entered my referral tracker code. The link turned blue, so does that mean I did it right?
I'm thinking I did it wrong, since the referral tracker code is not a URL. I clicked on it but it just took me to my profile page. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Smart and fun all you have to do is
http://smartandfun.hubpages.com/ _yourtracker /user/new and you are done
edit your profile link it into your profile.
Hope this helps.
Edit
the underscore before the tracker is a must.
You're almost there. You did everything right, except the URL should look like the below:
http://hubpages.com/{code}/user/new
where {code} is whatever code is your referral tracker code.
What parentsreview said. It's perfect but you just need to change the URL.
Yesssss! It took me three tries, but I finally got it right, thanks to all of you! Thank you so much for helping the hopeless computer idiot. I have been so intimidated by the whole coding thing. I still don't know how to code, but I can copy/paste, and thanks to all of you I finally copy/pasted exactly the perfect combination of letters, numbers, slashes and underscores.
My next goal is to learn how to make my own referral codes, then it's how to use my own advice and make the links in my hubs open a new window. LOL, we'll see. I'll probably be back on the forums begging and whining for step-by-step directions.
Thanks again, everyone.
LOL, told you I was hopeless. Did that, maybe NOW it's right? Thanks again.

I have a couple of people who want to join hubpages. I went to my profile page and scrolled to the bottom. I clicked referral tracker and copied and pasted it onto my profile page, with the message, "If you'd like to join HP, click here."Is that right? So if someone clicks that link, I'll...

Hi I spent an hour researching online but no one seems to have the answer. On other sites I've been able to post my articles via URL on my Facebook FAN page with the picture, text popping up, but not HUB articles. No problem posting to my FB profile. But with my fan page it comes up with just...

There are quite a few pages written about how to put a 'join here' referral on one's profile page.However, not a single one of those directions work. If I click on the links they provide, it says the pages aren't there.I've got it right twice now, but every time someone joins, it goes away again....
