brbrThis is an area in which you just have to use some good judgement, and common sense.brAnd this would (or should) tell you that you can't simply post a promotion for your site or product.brYou can post a topic on the subject which encompasses your product. But these must be useful for general information.brReference to your own product should not be the focus and sole intent.brLinks to promotional materials =bad.brLinks to reference articles, tutorials, etc. are allowed.brbrMany people also make good use of 'search and reply'. If your product is a span style="font-weight: bold;"valid/span response to a question asked, span style="font-style: italic;"then/span a mention of the specific product would be a legitimate response. Your affiliation with the product must be transparent, and excessive 'sales pitches' should be avoided.brFor example, if you are promoting an animation software, you could reply in the thread in the Graphic Design forum on the subject "What Animation Software Do You Use?"brbrJust use good judgement (you don't want to look like a spammer, any more than anyone wants to see spam), and if bryou have any doubt about a particular post or practice, feel free to contact a staff member by PM, and run it by them, first.br
