ADVERTISING GUIDELINES ( 25+ posts needed / 72 hour bump rule )

[Princess]

In this forum you can share your forums, websites, blogs, Instagram/twitter/YouTube page, or any other internet project you are working on!

-- Your post count here must be 25 or higher to share your creation(s).
If you have not done so already, why not start off by Introducing yourself?
-- You can only bump once every 72 hours (once every 3 days).

Rules:
The following are in addition to our main set of rules.

1. Your post count here must be 25 or higher to share your creation(s).
2. You can only bump every 72 hours (once every 3 days).
   -- Definition: Bumping is when nobody has replied to your topic and you post in it again to make it come up to the top of the list. (Note: Staff from the same forum chatting amongst themselves in their advertisement thread also counts as bumping if their replies to each other aren't 72 hours apart)
3. Do not advertise another website/forum/etc in someone else's thread.
4. Do not advertise pay per click/money making affiliate program type links.
5. Do not Private Message advertise. This includes asking/inviting someone to your website/forum, asking for post exchanges or asking someone to be a staff member.
6. Do not advertise your websites outside of the Promotional Directory. All advertisements and posts pertaining to your websites must be posted here in the Directory.
7. Do not advertise in profile posts. This includes asking/inviting someone to your website/forum or asking someone to be a staff member.
8. When commenting on other people's advertisements, please try to be positive and/or provide your constructive criticisms (giving ideas on improvement or development). Negative comments that don't serve any purpose are not welcome.
9. Only one topic per website/forum advertised. If you would like your thread deleted so you can start over with a fresh one, please PM any staff member.
10. If you are advertising a forum, it must be open for business and not offline.
11. You must be a current staff member of the site you're advertising.
12. If your advert thread hasn't received a reply (or if it hasn't been bumped by you) in over 3 months, it may be moved to the Inactive Threads archive (sub-forum of Promotion Directory).
13. Dont just post a link, please include a description of your website/forum or follow optional template below.

UPDATED: Advertisement Station Rules

Updated rules:

• Must have 25 posts to advertise and can only bump once a week (once every 7 days).
  
• The Make 2 posts in between bumps rule has been removed.

Hint* Signature advertising can be just as effective. By simply posting around the Off Topix Discussion Community, people may click on your signature.

Update, March 2nd 2015:

We have created an archive (sub-forum) here in the Promotion Directory called Inactive Threads.

Threads that have not received a reply in over 3 months have been moved there.

If your thread has been archived due to inactivity, you can ask staff member to move it back or simply create a new thread.

Just some clarification:

Asking for post exchanges through private messages counts as PM advertising. We do allow this our Financial Forum where public Buy/Sell/Trade threads are welcome. Since a post exchange is a trade (of posts on each other's forums), that would be the appropriate place to create a post exchange thread.

Here are the guidelines for that forum: https://offtopix.com/threads/financial-forum-info-guidelines.379/
