| Sep 20, 2012 at 16:58 | comment | added | Drise | Yea, but his suggestion was to not allow any self promotion at all. | |
| Sep 20, 2012 at 16:58 | comment | added | Chimera | @MooingDuck My solution goes further in forcing advertisers to do so using the built in methods rather than getting it for free by violating the spirit of what SO is about. | |
| Sep 20, 2012 at 16:55 | comment | added | Mooing Duck | You do realize that Stack Exchange has a program where people who want to advertise products do so by paying a small fee to have their ads appear on the right sidebar? This is mentioned in the same FAQ entry saying that people shouldn't have too much self promotion. | |
| Sep 20, 2012 at 16:54 | comment | added | Drise | If this would solve the promotion issue, I'd be up for it. Maybe something that could do something like AdWords and return relevant ads to questions/answers, so you wouldn't be looking at a C++ question/answer and get an ad for a C# product. | |
