Idea 1 of 3: Headhunter badge.

Every now and then I post a link to SO on some local board when people ask a programming question. I'm always wondering if someone followed it and became a permanent user.

It would be good if I could make that link a unique one, so that SO could trace it and maybe reward me with a badge?

  • This could be done with the blog badge I would think reasonably easily.

  • Do we have already some kind of blog badge?

  • Oh, I see. Well, yes, at least like that. Maybe I'll start blogging. :)

I vaguely suspect something like this would result in a lot of people spamming links to the trilogy in places where it isn't really appropriate in order to get this badge.

  • If it brings people to SO etc. is that a bad thing inherently? Given the spam is elsewhere I mean?
