why cant i advertise for a business I'm trying to get off the ground do you know how many advertisements ive seen on here just before i wrote this i saw a kaatz bros add why am i different than them i make and sell lure also!

They are forum sponsors. Are you?

You can advertise as long as you make prior arrangements with Paul. The advertisements you see on the forum are PAID for by those advertisers.

I would suggest politely talking to Paul Dobbins, rather than complaining on his website.

I don't quite know where you saw this Kaatz brothers ad. But I can almost assure you it was not posted in any of the forums. Mr. Dobbins doesn't allow advertising within posts on the forums. Perhaps the ad you saw was paid advertising. If you would like to purchase advertising space here, as other folks have, contact Mr. Dobbins. (There ain't no free lunch.)

Start on the trap shed

What you willing to pay the site is free and sponsors help defray the costs of running it.

That won't fly either. Read rule #4 at the top of the Trap Shed page

And, articulating your thoughts in accurate writing so as to be read and understood easier. .

this is all a bunch of crap i dont understand why i cant advertise on here without paying for it we live in a free country if i wanted to advertise in a post office (which is a federal building) i could do so freely!

Bubba this ain't the guberment. Mr. Dobbins pays for this out of his pocket.

There are no Constitutional rights on the site. It is private property. The first amendment doesn't exist.

I suggest you may not be a good fit here. Contact the post office

Actually, I'm pretty sure you can't just tack up advertisements in the post office either.

Bet ya can't!

It's Paul's place, he gets to set the rules. You don't get first amendment protections here.

One of the benefits of having a popular site is to get paid advertising/sponsors.

You're off to a bad start.

Popcorns a popping!

And most businesses have post boards and you had better have permission first to put a flyer or business card there or they will rip it off.

Like watching a train wreck, just can't turn away!
