It doesn't matter the scale or degree of your motivation due to advertising or money, but the actuality of doing so or not. I would advise you not to continue in this direction, as you are balancing on the edge of the rules, and I am giving you the benefit of doubt to this point. You have presented the coin, now let it rest in peace, or I will do so. Thanks Jim
Kindly advise me on how to proceed the next time around. The last thing I want is trouble. Should I copy and paste whole articles that I've written here with no links to my website? Should I mention coins and/or rounds at all? I mean, what I've posted above is not an invitation to anyone to buy the coins directly from me and I don't receive any affiliate income or sales commission when the relevant coins are getting sold via my website. My aim with the above was to share some of the information here and then to get visitors to my website in return, where if I am lucky, I get some income via Google Adsense if folks support the random sponsors on that page (which are 100% determined by the Google Adwords bidding system). The income I generate in this way is very little, but it is better than nothing. In addition, I don't use bots to post here and I try to keep the conversation going, not only here, but in other threads on this forum as well. You get traffic and I get traffic, while folks get access to what I have to say about coins and what not. I feel it is a win-win situation for all of us. I am even willing to offer banner advertising space to CoinTalk at my website in exchange for the opportunity to share information here. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
Ok, Copy /paste beyond a small section is not allowed due to copyright limitations, we do not want to be responsible for, so limited C/P and an URL is allowed. You can insert your website link in the footer/signature section, so it appears in each post. It can not contain open advertisements, etc.; see rules for specifics. If members feel your site is a good one, they will visit, they can't be drawn in for google paymen, etc. It is not possible for us to determine whether you get income from business associates, so usually assumed to be such, and the function of the this site depends much on paid ads and supporters Yesterday, I banned 5 bot/spammers, and it does take time even though the software is fairly sophisticated, we ask that all report any suspects and we check it. I am sure offers are appreciated, but they should be sent to Peter by PM, as he ( owner) is the one that makes business decisions. Thanks for asking, Jim
Hi Jim, Thanks for getting back to me. Much appreciated. I've just read through the rules again. I haven't made an offer to buy, sell or trade, but the fact that I've posted a link(s) to a personal site seems to be a problem, although I don't offer any items directly for sale on that site and haven't posted links directly to sites that offer items for sale here (or which I am affiliated with). I am not sure how am I going to get information out to folks if I am allowed to copy and paste a small section, but not reference the source, namely my personal site? I mean, I will not even be able to share my coin satire here. Updating my signature will help, but getting traffic from one end without making an active contribution was not really the idea. In any case, this head cold is not helping today. I am going to update my signature and that will be the long and short of it. Thanks again for getting back to me. Best Regards Paul
I love the design on this one...something different...and within most collector's price range. I look forward to its release.
I got an email today from Provident saying mine would ship out today. I thought these weren't to ship until next week but whatever!
Yes, this is actually one of my first silver rounds, besides some SMI buffalo rounds. Here's a few pictures (Obv/Rev/Rim Offset/Rim 1989 ASE+Privateer)
Yeaup, did you buy chance measure the exact width? I haven't an accurate enough ruler to measure in mm but looking at some Air-Tite specs, I'm not entirely sure what'll work
