Question by Cal: B&F Top Contributors: Is this solicitation?
Someone in business and finance asked “how do I make money online“. I gave him an answer on how I do it, and I was reported. I tried to appeal it and they rejected my appeal (twice) and took 20 points from my account. I feel that it was top contributors who reported me because everytime I post anything in Business and Finance, it gets reported. I think that some of the Top Contributors automatically assume that it’s impossible to make money online. They think everything is a scam. I think people should be more careful when reporting answers in this section.
You tell me, was this answer solicitation, and HOW?
my answer:
“Start an online community, a mini myspace in other words or forum. I have a few dating sites and I use adwords to get members. The site is free and I only have about 800 members so far on my main site, but once I have more (about 5,000 or more), I will place ads on there and make money from the ads just like myspace does. There’s free software out there for social sites so after you install it, you just work on getting members to sign up. I use Google adwords to advertise mainly. My main site is an asian site so its cheaper for me to advertise since I only only show ads to people out of Asian countries. This is cheaper for advertising, but it also means I’ll make less once I place ads on there, because clicks from people in Asia don’t pay as well since they don’t buy as much online as Americans, Canadians etc. As far as selling domains, that’s not easy. I used to do it but it’s just getting harder now with the economy the way it is. But most of the people I sold domains to were other domain investors. Advertising is recession proof though. There is always people who are looking to advertise their businesses, even when the economy is bad. Another thing you can do is buy misspelled domains or domains you think you can park. I park domains and some have been pretty successful. There’s this one celebrity that just became real famous (realized I can’t say his name for certain reasons), and right around the time this was happening, I bought about 4 domain names that are misspellings of his name. Now people searching for his name on the internet who misspell it, end up at my parked page, where I have ads that some of them click on.”
notice how I said “There’s free software out there”. They got me so nervous just to mention any company other than Google in this section. I took extra precaution and was still reported.
Why?

The original question was presumed to be a shill post – a set-up for a spam advertising response.
Your reply, despite the fact that you did not link to your website or even mention your site by name, was assumed to be spamvertising.
Solution: don’t respond to “How do I make $$ online” questions by promoting your own online business, even indirectly..
I report spamvertising Q’s and A’s whenever I run across them – but I try not to ding honest responders that get mixed in with the shills.
