One of my posts hidden

Please advise why one of my posts hidden........said Spam - Commericial Site.

It is my site and all it has on it is google ads. Which of course makes nothing. I have no commmerical interest. I don't think my remarks were inapproprate.

I don't want to make any mistake. I just promote the Democrats and Obama. Is this wrong to do?

multiple times, and blog-flogging is considered a spam variant at DU. If you'd like to include a link to your website with each post, you could make it part of your sig line. That's pretty common, and not frowned upon.

To add your website to your signature line, look at the top of your screen. To the right of "Logged in as BEAU1943", you'll see a hyperlink titled "My Profile". Click on that and go down to the bottom to edit your signature line.

Sometimes it's hard to figure out where things are when you're new and there are unobtrusive links around the borders of DU's main screen. It's nice that they have a low profile, unless they're the thing you're searching for and just don't notice because you rarely need them.

I think gkhouston explained the issue quite well above.

Come join the discussions -- we are always looking for new people who want to participate.

I think I am going to love this site. I added a banner from my site to this site......We Obama supporters need all the help we can get.
