This is what I think, and its just what I think, so don't get bent out of shape or anything:

Your site is a store and there is only one page with the Element. If you look at all the other member sites, it deals solely with the Element and how to hook things up. Your site deals with peppers and selling, which happens to have an element as a delivery car.

IF you want your site up (the full site), maybe it would be better for you to go the "advertiser" route. Maybe you should have a direct link to the page you want up on the members site and send it in to T-mac without the links to the other pages activated. It is kind of unfair for T-mac to put up "free" advertising through the members section of the board, while other shops have to pay to advertise through this site.

Again, thats what I think.

I kinda figured it would be something like that. I'll put up a page or two with no link to my e-commerce site and see if that helps. Thanks for your guys input. I wasnt at all gettin bend outta shape, just wondering if maybe the emails were just at the bottom of the pile and hadnt gotten its turn to be getting answered. :D

Tim,

You could increase your website's exposure somewhat by modifying your User Profile to include your site's URL. Then you'll have a link on every post you make, like so:

First, Pepperjax... sorry for any delay. My days are jammed from start to finish and I have to prioritize stuff right now.

Second, even adding your URL to your profile is something that we frown on because you (and others who do this) are choosing to basically advertise to our community without paying to advertise like our other great advertisers. Instead, you are using our members and this site/forum for your own personal gain. I'd be happy to discuss advertising options with you (and others) however. Just let me know.

*This is in no way intended to single out pepperjax because others have done this sort of thing in the past. I'm posting this as a reminder to other registered members. I have the ability and the right to tweak user profiles but I would prefer members do it themselves.

Thanks everyone.

I do apologize for putting my url on my member profile, I was just taking some advice from another post, didn't really realize the problem. I will put up another site or page dealing with just my Humbug, and try that with no link to my other site or sites. I would like to get some information on advertising though if you could send me some by email. I am thinking of making some "E" themed hot sauces and of course this would be a great place to advertise them. Sorry for any problems. Thanks. TT :oops:

Sorry, Tom, I was approaching this from a "personal webpage" perspective and hadn't caught that his site was an e-commerce site. I certainly understand why you'd want advertisers to go the other route and I look forward to PepperJaxx's formal advertising of the forthcoming Element-themed hot sauces!

I do, however, want to encourage others to add links to their personal websites in their profiles - its a great way to let other in on your non-Element interests and find out more about your fellow E-owners. Diversity is a beautiful thang!

:D
