Hey Kristina, I agree, it can be a bit of a pain in the butt, but no more than the time it takes to insert my standard footer at the bottom of each story, which is something I did even before adding the referral link. This is one issue that truly doesn't bug me at all, though I see a lot of writers bothered by it. As far as effectiveness, I think I'll take a tip I read today from @DelilahBrass about using the attractive profile card, instead of just the referral link by itself. Thanks Kristina :-)
