Giveaways and Advertising Do Not Mix

I recently had a major Giveaway entering addiction. It has paid off for me because so far I have won two prizes by entering Giveaways. Unfortunately, it has also hindered me from being able to post advertising on my site. One way to enter a Giveaway is to blog about the Giveaway or post a link about it on your blog. Apparently I have completed this step way too many times and was turned down when I asked Entrecard to post adverts on my blog. Because I went on that Giveaway entering spree, I'd posted probably 20 blog entries regarding third party information. Entrecard's rule is that if your blog contains 50% or more of "unoriginal" posting then you will be denied as an advertising publisher. This will probably hurt my chances with Project Wonderful with who I advertise my Etsy store through (although it's been rather unsuccessful). Oh well, very few people are reading this blog right now anyway so it would be a fruitless effort for someone to advertise on this site (please participate in my survey in the previous post)! The moral of the story is, if you want to advertise on your blog, do not litter your site with third party giveaways, but if you want to win cool, free stuff; litter away!
