Is this allowed on a WordPress.com Blog?
-
I read http://wordpress.com/tos/ and noted the following highlight
the Content is not spam, and does not contain unethical or unwanted commercial content designed to drive traffic to third party sites or boost the search engine rankings of third party sites, or to further unlawful acts (such as phishing) or mislead recipients as to the source of the material (such as spoofing)
Can someone give me a definite answer if I am allowed to post my photography rates on my blog? I’m a professional photographer and I used to lit my clients and have a contact form for wedding prospects to reach me. A few months ago, fearing that listing of clients would get my site permanently banned, I removed them and since then I remain confused as to what is allowed and what isn’t. I have seen other photographers using WordPress to advertise their services.
I have no intention of generating traffic using methods that would violate the above paragraph. Anyone care to enlighten me ?

best is to contact support and ask directly, that way you’d be sure to know where wordpress stands on it. =)

Yes I have done just that and guess what, “Please feel free to post your rates – this is not a problem :)” says it all.
This changes everything I’ve wanted to do with my WP blog.

Be cautious, though. One page listing your rates and services might be allowed, but multiple posts doing it will get you reported. Be careful.

Thanks for letting us know that you are allowed to post your rates. Presumably a listing of these rates will appear only on one static page on the blog. However, if you tag your rates onto the end of each and every post in the blog as others have done then what raincoaster is warning you of is that the blog can be suspended. We have seen this “overkill” on blogs and we have seen them get into trouble for doing the same.

For future reference – bloggers should contact support for confirmation and advice.
The above should not be taken as meaning anything goes. -

I live in Moderation. Thinking back, I have no real need to post my photography rates as I provide my quotes only when requested. What I was really asking is to be allowed to post line such as “If you’re interested in my services and would like to engage me for your event, please feel free to email me” or thereabouts.
What I had done previously was a listing of all my corporate clients on the sidebar with links to their company website. I trust this is also acceptable?
