Adam doesnt advertising come in many forms? i have visited your sites and there are other forums being advertised. again the rules appear to be foggy!

BEDAZZLED I was told that advertising friends links was ok and none of them are business links...and in fact I am in the process of moving all the links to their sites onto my main sites www.BarDazzle.co.uk & www.Dazzlechat.co.uk

Thank you for visiting my board.

Apparently the Exco admin has removed the offending 'ads' from my board.

Since there seems to be some concern about it, I will tell you that the offending 'ads' were nothing I directly profited from.

2 (1 at the top, another below I just added today) were merely websites that visitors go to view member's sites and in return I might end up with some return views to my board.

The other 2 are friends of mine who I traded links with (which the admin left intact).

The only others are my 'Referring Web Pages, last 24 hours:' service and I just recently added a ExCo board Toplist button of which I imagine you might have found my site from.

I hope that clears up your confusion, now maybe you could help clear up some of mine: Can anyone post a link to the Excoboard TOS as I have looked high and low for but cannot seem to locate? Before I made my board I read through them (somewhere) and was under the impression I was not in violation of the terms.

Thank you in advance,
John

noonan I have a question?
I have read the TOS 3 times.
Where does it say that i cannot profit from visitors?

I have been creating a silent auction/classifieds site that i have incorporated my board to, is this not allowed.
I havent charged anybody yet, however i intended to once i had alot of members.
Thanks

Gary Peter got your question answered.

Conflict with Google ads mean no other ads like them. Where you profit for showing their banner.

BEDAZZLED well my apologies for misunderstanding the content of the board but it was set out in such a way that it appeared to be selling others services..& I know I'm not the only person who thought this..

I was only asking about the advertising because I myself had been told by other older (and I mean time at exco not age) members to remove all links bringing pop-ups to my board for fear of having my board deleted...
