I agree with you.  There is more advertising being posted than before.  It is human nature to take advantage of whatever form of publicity is available.  The only way to control it is to tell the blogger who advertises to stop or just nobody reply to those types of posts.

We've been spoiled.  Reliberation has only been around for 3 months so it is only just now getting discovered by the type of folks who come on board just to hawk their wares.  It's a sign of times and in many ways it probably means you've hit the big times!

However I don't have a problem when some of the P2 vendors pipe in as long as it isn't blatant advertising.  And now and then I like to hear about a new product or service from a vendor as long as they don't go overboard.

Maybe we should ask vendors to include ADV at the beginning of these posts so we don't jump down their throats for posting.  We must remember that as a community you have to be open to new ideas and realize that even vendors can add something of value to the system.

I have found this site to be very informative and thank the people that contribute ideas. To tell us about a product or website to obtain information is one thing, but when people are going to pitch their own products, I think that will negatively affect the forum. We are all trying to exchange ideas not products.

We also need to remember that everything that is written here is available for the public to view.

Namneet,

I think It is all SEO Madness which makes these folks post things here as This is a highly ranked and reputed platform with SE's they think getting a One way link from here will help them, But they can do it in a Neat manner, after all Point2 Never discouraged its members to make traffic and earn Business but Not at Relibaration in a pure Marketing Format.

I suggest them to write a nice article about their Real Estate Industry Share some Nirvana with us with their Best Knowledge and in Signature Put all their Small links so that It will Not spoil The Board.

Farooq
