Sunil,
The Terms and Conditions of the forum which you will have read when registering states no advertising. That said we recognise that people who help here are often consultants and need to earn a living.
When people come on and immediately advertise we normally remove their post. But I have no problem with regulars promoting themselves a little - it's only fair.
A good way is to set up your signature:
My controls > edit signature
In there you can make a small business proposal statement and add your contact details / web link. That way every post you make contains this small discreet signature at the end.
Cathy has added a discreet signature to her profile – she has made 56 posts so far so that is very acceptable and I hope that someone who is in need of a food safety consultant will see that she knows her subject matter and will employ her. I really do hope that she benefits from the time and effort she puts in here (free of charge).
See signature at end of Cathy’s post here:
http://www.ifsqn.com...showtopic=11080As another example we have a new member Matthias again he is a consultant. He has also added a signature but he has actually gone one step further by utilising his profile and making it more like a resume.
From my controls again you can edit lots of information under > Personal Profile

See Matthias’s profile here:
http://www.ifsqn.com...p?showuser=2578Matthias is quite a new member and has only made a few posts but you can see that he has thought about the rules of the forum, he understands fair and acceptable use and the more he helps out and shares his knowledge the more exposure he will get to potential customers.
Here is an example of one of Matthias’s posts:
http://www.ifsqn.com...amp;#entry24856So to sum up we do not mind members who contribute to the discussions getting a kick back. Remember I and others have spent years developing this forum and we are upset when hawks swoop in for a free meal never to be seen again.
I’m sure that you have a lot of knowledge to share and we would welcome you as a contributing member, but if not you know the rules. It’s your choice.
Regards,
Simon
