The community guidelines state: “it’s OK to accompany a good, on-topic answer with a link to your website, blog, or email to offer more information.”

And: “…be careful about posting links to your site in every answer or you risk crossing over into spam territory…”

And: “There are many … business owners providing valuable knowledge & experiences on Answers. By identifying yourself as such & providing great answers, you are building credibility & positive brand image… but don’t link directly to purchase pages…”

I have noticed marketing research posts from people who are new to Y!A, ask their question, disappear & make no further contribution.

Any opinions? I’m generally OK with it. In fact I enjoy some of the questions but I do wish sometimes that the Asker would give a bit more detail.

I’m a big believer in Free Enterprise and if someone has the desire to provide a needed product or service - more power to them.
