I'm not sure if I shouldn't be posting in this thread or not, but I thought I'd share an 88x31 minibanner that I made to link to this site.

I personally think minibanners like that look nicer on my site's layout when I'm linking to other sites. Anyone else can use it, too, if they want.

[Fergal]

Thanks very much for that Zantetsken, how generous of you. Much appreciated.

[smohkim]

Zantetsken, is there a way you can make the banner a bit bigger so I can place it appropriately on my site? i would really appreciate it and the reason i ask is the tiny banner would actually dis appear. Thanks in advance.

How about vouchers for sale? Is it allowed here?
Since I have one that I really didn't need and I want to sell it before the end of this month.

Yes selling vouchers is fine, provided that the seller has the legal right to sell it.

Fergal, I think we need to make some rules in Members Ads Section so it can look less spammy.

Hi Doug,
You say not to place the ad at top of list more than once a week, do you have to re-write the ad or is there some method of moving it?
Cheers,

Who's Doug?

The rule says "Once you post an ad, please don't re-post the same ad, within the next seven days". Once the seven days are up you are free to post the same ad again. Do you have any further questions on that?

Hi Fergal. I can see that that post is a computer generated reply or SPAM.
Take a look, who's Doug? And he said, "Cheers,Nige" while his name is different?

This might come from another forum and just reposted here.

Is it alright to post warez links? If not this should be cleared up.

Warez are a big no-no. It's one of the best sources of virus can destroy one's business.
Plus, advertising warez on a business website is kinda not good since you are promoting illegal stuffs.

What about posting a site that doesn't really sell anything (yet) but that offers things like contests and news and such? As you know from my other thread I am planning on being a hosting reseller soon but wanted to ask about the first thing.

Well, it should be fine since it's only contests or free offers.

Yes that should be fine, I can't see any reason why it would be a problem.

I am not getting Rule # 8 although i have viewed Affiliate Links & Referal ID's forum (http://www.businessadviceforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=28)

[Fergal]

8. Affiliate and referral ID's are only allowed in your signature and in our Affiliate Links & Referal ID's forum (http://www.businessadviceforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=28)

Asad, we sometimes have members promoting affiliate links in various sections of the forum. The purpose of this rule is to prevent that. The only places on this site where anyone should be posting an affiliate link is in their signature or in a new thread they create in our Affiliate Links & Referal ID's forum (http://www.businessadviceforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=28). Does that clarify the issue?

[leoxanigm]

Thanks very much. It's hard to find this kind of forums this days. :)
