What I have given to SI: $60 + $9/month (approx.)
What's this $9 per month? How're you managing to give SI $9 per month after paying $60 for a 6-month subscription.
You do know (don't you?) that SI isn't your ISP.
Still, quite a bargain from an advertising standpoint. You can't get 20,000 views anywhere for $60, let alone that many click-throughs. If we billed you for that, you'd be very shocked at what click-throughs are worth.
Anyway, I thought we'd come to an understanding earlier about this: Silicon Investor's message bases are not to be used for advertising or spamming. Even if you're giving something away, you can't use our message bases to promote it.
Here are the limitations, spelled out:
Personal Profile: Anything goes, as long as it's not vulgar, obscene, or objectionable. If you want to put a 1600x1200 blinking ad in your profile, go for it.
Thread headers: The header itself can't be used for advertising. It can, however, link to another website if the link is in support of non-advertising content in the header.
Messages: No advertising at all. At most, you can include a link to your website after your name (like a signature line) occasionally, and you can link to a specific page on your site (not the homepage) if the link directly supports the content of your message, which must not be an ad.
The approach we prefer people to use is to include their "advertising" in their profile, then post messages of such high quality that people want to go to their profile.
