Posting Guidelines for Promoting Products and Services

This site is for informational purposes only, it is not an advertising site. If your content looks more like advertising than it looks like information, then it doesn’t belong here. You can add information about your products and services to this site, however, it must be relevant to the content and of value to the reader.

The site administrator has the last and final decision on all matters relating to conduct on this site. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in content or page removal, and repeated violations may result in a ban from this site.

Guidelines for Creating New Posts

Open-source Projects, Product and Service-specific Posts

• Create a post describing your project, product or service
• The content must be informative.
• In the case of a product: The page should not simply be a list of product features but should describe a situation/problem whereby the product can be mentioned as offering a solution.
• The title of the product page should include the company name in addition to the product name, e.g., Cisco 7960, Linksys SPA-3000, etc.
• The titles of sub-pages should start with the product name, e.g., Linksys SPA-3000 Configuration, etc.
• Ensure you follow a proper structure of H tags, paragraphs and links
• Use graphics as appropriate.
• Images and graphics should be under 40KB
• Please ensure you own the copyright for these images or have bought a license to use them

Well-known Brands

• Although spamming by creating multiple copies of posts with differing names is not allowed, sometimes a company has established a well-known brand so successfully that the brand is perceived to be the company name, in which case a page may be created under the name of the brand, then linking to the company page, or the company page linking to the brand page. For example, the Matsushita corporation is better known for its National Panasonic brand and thus both a Matsushita page and a National Panasonic page may exist on this site. This is an exception only applicable to well-known, global brands.

Editing Existing Posts & Pages

It is not possible to edit any existing posts unless you are the author. If you would like to edit an existing page, i.e. add your company to a vendor listing page you can contact [email protected] and, if relevant, your company will be listed.
