Ok so here is the story in a nutshell. I answered a guys question last night about a how to create a toolbar for a website. He also posted his website and asked for any input on how to make it better. So I posted a link to a website creator site. The I suggested him putting gadgets like YOUTUBE and FACEBOOK gadgets to make the site better. Everything that I said was completley relevant to the question and answer. So then I get a email this morning stating that my answer was deleted because I was promoting personal websites. Then I shot them an email asking how they could validate it and they shot me another email stating that I did not follow policy and was promoting personal websites.

This is a copy and paste of what I wrote:
Question: Need quick help with my website. 10 points.?
Deleted Answer: Below is a link to a website that should be able to help
you. I do not do the whole web page thing but I have friends that do. I
have heard them mention this website before and according to them and
the website it is free. I googled how to make a toolbar and that is
actually the first one that came up. I looked at your site. I copied and
pasted it and I assume it was the correct one. Don’t take this as an
insult just critisism. It is very plain. So you play the game LOST. You
need to add some pizzaz to it buy putting some screen art in the
background preferably from the actual game so when someone visits your
page they don’t have to guess what the game LOST is in the even they
don’t know anything about the game. I would also play around with
the font. The banner you have going across is kinda cheesy. Find a
website, maybe the one below, that you can make your own font that is
nice looking, maybe flashes or something instead of a simple banner.
Then it will convert it into script so that you can embed it into the
website. Add things that will make the visitor enjoy coming to the site.
There are tons of free gadgets online that you can add to your website
like a cool counter, a embedded music player, stuff like that. I hit the
link for your videos and all I saw was a sentence saying you didn’t
know how to put them on there. If you are having technical difficulties
why not add a gadget or a link to your YOUTUBE vids. I would go with the
gadget so the visitor doesn’t have to leave your site and makes it
more interactive. Also, maybe link your page to Facebook fan page and/or
each players Facebook page. Hope it goes good for ya.
Violation Reason: Personal Site Promotion
In Yahoo! Answers you may not post non-commercial links to personal
websites or blog, when not relevant to question or answer- LINKS NOT WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
www.conduit.com is the only link that I put. It is NOT a PERSONAL website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3). Confirm rendering of newsletter: HTML newsletter has better feedback than text newsletters. HTML newsletter contains pictures, text, colors. But before sending email to subscribers, there is required to test about rendering of emails at different platform like Yahoo, Google, AOL other services.
4). Monitor Delivery Status: Success of email marketing is also depended on successful mail delivery. If your newsletter is better look and feels and with attractive content topic, your email marketing campaign would not be better in terms of reply.

Online Advertising In Your Email Marketing
The subject of whether or not it is acceptable to use advertising in email market is hotly debated with some Internet marketers being strongly in favor of placing advertisements in email marketing while others are strongly against the use of advertisements in email marketing. Still others take a more neutral stance and are not either firmly for or against the use of advertising in email marketing. This article will take a look at both sides of the argument and allow the reader to formulate his own opinions on whether or not this subject is worthwhile.
There are some Internet marketers who are strongly in favor of the use of advertisements in emails distributed for marketing purposes. Those who favor the use of advertisements view the sale of advertising space on email marketing materials such as emails or e-newsletters as a way to generate profit from the email marketing itself. They also believe this tactic puts less pressure on the Internet marketer to meet the expectations of the members of the email distribution list because the emails are already generating a profit even if they do not entice the email recipients to make a purchase.
Those who are firmly against the use of advertising in email marketing feel as though this makes the advertisements seem more like spam and less like marketing materials or useful information. Those on this side of the fence feel as though any advertisement in an email marketing campaign should be subtle advertising for the products and services offered by the distributor of the email and not advertisements for businesses who have paid for an advertising spot on the email. They believe the original emails are acceptable but additions to them are spam.
Still others are someone in between on the debate regarding whether or not advertising in email marketing is acceptable. In most cases these individuals believe it is acceptable for there to be advertising as long as it does not overshadow the original intent of the email. This middle of the road concept implies the Internet marketers are not firmly for or against the concept of placing advertisements on emails distributed fro marketing purposes.
The information in this article is rather vague by intention because it leaves more of an opportunity for the reader to form his own opinion. This is important because the subject is largely a matter of personal preference. Each reader must decide for himself whether or not he agrees with one side or the other or chooses to take a middle of the road stance. The opinions of readers of this article may be influenced by whether or not they are considered to be marketers or consumers. This is significant because it can impact the preferences. For example consumers may be less likely to appreciate advertisements in emails intended for marketing purposes because they feel it distracts from the original products. However, marketers may be more apt to be accepting of advertising because they can understand the financial gain which is possible. When evaluating opinions about the use of advertising, it is important to note whether or not the individual offering the opinion is involved in advertising. It might be more worthwhile to seek out opinions from consumers only as they are more likely to share the beliefs of your potential customers.

(XXXX is the site name I don’t wish to promote it)
@errm – good answer, I’m disable & losing faith with yahoo.
Background of the problem:
I have a contact form in my web site using cgi script. It is in freeservers and the URL is, http://jyotisha.00it.com/Contact.htm.
Once a visiter fills and press the submit button I get an email.
Starting from recently, guestbook spammers who are after google page ranks, start filling it with absolute crap and links to their sites. So instead of genuine quaries, daily I get 30 to 40 such emails which is waste of my time and a nusence. I tried to put a control in cgi script but only succeded in posting a radio button. (You can try it here http://jyotisha.00it.com/Contact2.htm). I can not change the Page Name as I built the site manually over the time and there are about 100 pages whch mey need changing of page link.
My Question is: How can I write a control in CGI script ? so I can put a password check ?
EX : <input type="hidden" name="cgiemail_required" value= … ect
I know that there are sites out there where you can sign up and give links or whatever to all the blogs you like to read, and the site sends an email or something to you when one of your friend’s blogs is updated … How do I go about finding such a site, and which are the best ones?
i want to know if it will be useful for me, what i do is i just check my email(hotmail), use facebook, go on youtube and thats my basic stuff and then i do some extra searching up stuff and all that. i dont check blogs everyday or anything. so is google reader gonna be useful for me?
