Ken, you should be using the message area to post and reply with topic specific content ... the sig file area should have a link to your web site or blog. If you want to include affiliate links on the site you're linking to, that's fine. Just don't link directly to them from here.
Do you have a facebook or twitter account? Feel free to link to that if you wish, if you don't have your own blog or website.
