  1. @Darcy Linden I wrote a little review on the new orientation island from a marketer's perspective, including a little, subtle pun towards the Lindens. 🙂 [NSFW] https://www.second-life-adventures.com/orientation-island/ That is why I think it would be an excellent time to get it going asap!
  2. Wenn du eine andere Skin und Shape drauflegst geht es:
  3. I got a slap on my fingers for that too but at the time I was linking to an actual promotion of a specific product (the mask). There is a specific definition: promotion of specific Second Life merchants, Marketplace listings, products, or services,
  4. It was a simple link to content relevant to the topic. As simple as that. It's funny how you cite out of context and deliberately leave out the following sentences, which give an idea about self-promotion from the Linden perspective, not YOUR view. And no, it is not a Linden Product either. It's a Linden freebie, which is intended to make the experience for new users better. Not the same. Spamming, Solicitation and Advertising: Spamming is not allowed. This includes aggressive self-promotion. No advertising or promotion of specific Second Life merchants, Marketplace listings, products, or services, unless the forum area is specifically for the buying or selling of Second Life products or services, for example, a “for sale” or “wanted” forum. Do not reference other websites offering any product or service.
  5. YOU consider that advertising. The forum guidelines don't make that distinction.
  6. Thanks, I will do some testing. This is what is supposed to come up:
  7. Hey Phil, Long time no see, Mr. Ex-SEO 🙂. I hope you are doing well. There are affiliate banners on the site. You see those once you pass the adult content warning page. They are not aggressive or intrusive in dedicated ad spaces, clearly identifiable as "sponsored content" and in the code marked as such (rel="sponsored"). However, the actual content dominates the pages and posts, and it is not what we call an affiliate farm. Writing all that content was a lot of work (and a lot of fun). But you know, whenever pages like that are associated with the name Caroline Takeda, somebody feels a need for drama. It typically starts with Rowen, my stalker and ethics teacher (self-proclaimed, not called for).
  8. To confirm: So the adult content warning page did NOT appear in your case, right? Were you taken directly to the actual content? This usually only happens if you have visited the site earlier (90 days cookie).
  9. All right, so the adult content warning page didn't load. I have to check that plugin again. Sorry for that.
  10. I was using Firestorm and was dropped at the new orientation island.
  11. That would mean you could not link to any online newspaper article, as they ALL sell ads. A bit silly. There is a big difference between a website offering products or services and a website selling ads for other people's products or services (such as affiliate ads). Free blog hosting is a good example (thanks for that one). Ads are part of their business model as well. It's not an "ad injection." That wording implies that the blogger is not consenting to the ads. No. It's a deal between the blogger and the hoster: The blogger gets free hosting, and the hosting company has the right (with the blogger's consent) to monetize that space with PPC ads unless or until the blogger upgrades to a paid hosting plan. The blogger benefits from the ads by getting a free hosting plan. Btw: Strawberry Singh's blog sold advertising. Often linked here in the forums. PPC Ads monetizes Uriah Nalates's blog (those are not hosting ads) - often linked in the forums. The same applies to Seraphim, Juicy Bomb, the Alphaville Herald, and others. Some of those do offer a section for adult content as well, even without a warning.
