Promoting other website on WF?

15 replies
Every time I post this promotional video on this great blog, that isn't mine.
The thread is removed. Where can I post promote sites on the forum?

    So its a sales video? or an affiliate link?

    You can put promote affiliate offers in the Classified Ads section.

      A: I remain quite unconvinced there's no connection there. You're remarkably persistent about posting a promotional video for someone who isn't benefiting from it.

      B: Re-posting deleted threads is not a good idea here. I've personally deleted the same thread from you 3 times.

      C: The discussion areas are not intended for advertising. If you want to run an ad here, pay for it. Like everyone else.

        I gain nothing from it. I just promoting a really good blog that I like. That can help other members out. I'm persistent because I specifically made it for WF, and if I can''t post it here it's like I wasted my time making the video. There should be like a blog review/promotional section. And if your going to delete someones thread please let them know why.

          I'm sorry, but for your arrogance, I'd boot you if I could. But I can't.

          But I can say this:

          Nobody has to let you know why your thread(s) gets deleted. Read the forum rules. It's there.

          I've had stuff nuked before, too. And guess what? I don't spend a second thinking about it. I move on. And so should you - move on.

          If you care so much about your blog or whatever it is that you're trying to promote, then pay for to advertise it or try to do it by somehow posting it within the parameters of the rules.

          Otherwise, why should the owner of this forum pay to advertise your stuff for free?

          P.S. -- Why is it your "World Class SEO" service doesn't doesn't itself have any SEO work done on it? Tip: I wouldn't hire somebody to do my SEO work if their own website hasn't even been worked on.

          Why not just post about it in your signature and leave it at that?

          If you're already on Paul's watch list, you might as well move on.

          Isaiah, I haven't seen the other deleted threads, but you're sliding out on thin ice here.

          Whether you gain anything directly from promoting a blog in this discussion forum doesn't matter. You promote SEO services in your sig, and it would be a very short jump to use any benefit the blog as a case study or some kind of proof that your service works. Doesn't matter if you claim innocence.

          As for the video, if you made it purely to flog a blog on the Warrior Forum, you did waste your time - chalk it up to experience and move on.

          Given the pure volume of posts/threads the mods have to deal with, coupled with the tendency of the deleted party to argue the decision (sound familiar?), notifying every person who has a post deleted would be a monstrous time suck.

          Even if your motives were pure as the driven snow, allowing you to promote a blog with a video in the discussion area sets a precedent that would be beaten into mush by those with motives less pure.

          Last, and this is only my opinion...

          You're trying to promote a blog you claim you get no benefit from promoting. You made a custom video just to post on this forum. You persist in trying to get your promotional video to stick in the discussion forum. One of the senior mods explains why your video isn't allowed and you want to argue.

          To quote the bard, "methinks he doth protest too much..."

          There are promotional areas. They're called paid advertising. Dig into your pockets and promote away, like everyone else does. Otherwise, yeah ... you wasted your time and since a mod deleted it 3 times, you're risking getting banned if you continue to do it.

    Post your ad here:
    Warrior Forum Classified Ads

    ..and learn to read the forum titles before posting... If it is discussion, it's discussion - not promotion.

    Basically what your all saying is that it's wrong to promote others on this forum without paying for it, or without gaining from it.

    If it's a yes please do not reply.

      Isaiah,

      You were given very clear and consise answers by Paul and John. Don't twist their words.

      Get over it and move on. There is a lot of value in this forum and I would hate to see you lose out and get banned just because you insist on flogging a dead horse, when you could learning something new instead and taking your business to a new level.

      Just a thought. Use it. Don't use it

      Di

      [Edit] I wonder why you changed your signature?

      Guy, Paul has already said he is not convinced there is no connection. You're arguing a motive that has been deemed false thus far.

    Oaky, I'm just going to share the video with you guys, because your basing your opinions on what one person said. Also to anyone saying get over it I have a movie quote for you.
    "This is where we hold them, This is where we fight!" - King Leonidas, 300

    [Video promoting the same product/company as all the other times deleted by mod]

    What do you think, does it sound like I'm trying to gain anything from this?

      You have a lot to gain from reposting this video when mods have deleted it. You might just get yourself a little WF vacation. Hope it is worth it to you. I imagine that most of us aren't in the least bit interested in your video and I have never seen the company you're promoting resort to spamming this forum before. They actually contribute here and are well known.

      Yes, of course. The mods are an overwhelming army of invaders, out to take over your homeland. Such a wonderfully vivid emotionalism.

      Except it's an absurd lie. The average length of membership for the people who have mod access across the whole forum is something like 12 years. You've been a member for 6 weeks.

      There are 6 of us, plus the mods who keep some of the sub-forums useful, and one who moderates the blogs. All have been here for multiple years.

      If you want to make an analogy involving "the 300," who stand against the invading hordes, you ought to be talking about the members who report the spam, scams, rules violations, and general dipstickitude. That's probably about the right number.

      The guy who banned you only gave you a day off. You're lucky. You had the same post deleted 3 times, and were warned about not re-posting deleted material. That is, in essence, 3 more warnings than you usually get for that. And you did it again.

      If you had read the posted rules, you would have noticed that videos are usually treated as articles when they start a thread, and are deleted. That would have saved you the time you spent making this lovely bit of allegedly non-promotional fluff.

    You need to follow the rules, that's what keeps WF sane.
