Linking Policies

[Kim]

There seems to be some confusion regarding our policies, so hopefully this will clear things up.

Articles/Tips:
Many times articles you read will prompt a discussion question. It's perfectly acceptable to reference them here - and encouraged! - as long as you respect the author's copyright. We don't allow copying and pasting of copyrighted materials in their entirety to protect the authors. If you do reference an article, we suggest you post a link along with it to the original article. It is generally accepted to cut and paste a small quote or section from the article for basis of discussion, but not the entire thing.

Deals/Coupons:
As far as posting deals go, we like to post directly to the deal or coupon itself if at all possible instead of going through other sites. For example, if you find a great Gap.com coupon code, post the code itself instead of routing the member through another site. Gap.com would be considered the "author" of the coupon code, not the other site, and should be given credit.

Members who post links solely to promote their own websites and commercial blogs are typically considered spam and will be deleted. We do encourage moms in business, if done through the proper channels. That's what our Networking Forum is set up to accomplish.

Hope this clears things up. Feel free to PM me or any of the mods if you have questions.
