    Very cool concept indeed. I think you've defined "unique" with your forum. Good luck!

    I wish I'd have at least 1/100th of your members :D

    But otherwise, the site is kinda dark don't ya think? But at least it goes well with the topics and discussions. Great site, very good potential to get to the top :D

    Good luck! :)

    Actually I have noticed that google has started to penalize some of these sites as spam. I am still looking into it, but I think if some of these ad sites implemented some SEO tactics they may be able to circumvent the google penalties. But, yeah Bandit has a very nice site. I bounce in and out there myself :)

    Thanx guys. I hadn't heard about any penalties for advertising boards. But we did get PR1 in the last update, then got it taken away 2 days later.

    Yeah I noticed this also. I had a bunch of backlinks on a couple ad sites and then my indexed links started to drop. They were the only thing new, so I went and removed them. And they started coming back. The only correlation I could find was using these ad sites. And I noticed a lot of them if you check them have no PR and some have very little indexed pages. Just something I was keeping an eye on.

    Cerberus, I've only added my sites to a handful of these forum advertising sites so far, would you recommend I erase them as well?

    But why would Forum promotion boards get penalized? It makes no sense

    I'm curious to hear about this as well. I don't believe it at first, but on the other hand, I don't want to take any chances and get penalized.

    To my mind there's little difference between an advertisement forum and a free directory.

    Free directory's do not offer other advertising services, like advertising forums do.
