fseafood,
And anybody else out there who has a question re: advertising
If you have a financial interest in a product (be it commission, or outright sales of products) then you should advertise in the classifieds section of this website. I don't care if you recommend a product but when you put in things like "email or PM me for more info" this is conducting sales and therefore is advertising. Why is that so hard to understand? If you post links to websites to companies that you are recommending, no problem. If you are posting links to membership websites (e.g., you will received a commission from anyone ordering through your site) you are advertising and it will be deleted.
If you are linking to a blog where it is found that it is your blog centered on selling or promoting a certain product you are still advertising on the forum and it will be deleted.
If you whine about how others get away with it, as soon as they are confirmed advertising they will also be deleted (or the links will be). Also, spamming across several posts with the same information will result in all being deleted except for one. Spam equals Advertising, especially when an old post is dredged up to do so........
Interested to know more? Why should they email/call/PM you to get more info? Unless you plan on giving them the whole sales pep talk! What are you going to tell them offline that you couldn't tell them online?
