He's been going around today with short, 5-word answers to a number of posts and it seems someone else marked him as a spammer.

It's an annoying patterned behavior I have likewise noted but I did not tag this though my patience is running very thin.

My rule of thumb: Either provide a full answer to the exact support question(s) being posed in any thread or don't post.

He's been going around today with short, 5-word answers to a number of posts and it seems someone else marked him as a spammer.

In this case I thought the OP was pretty specific. Even the new business bundle upgrade (at $300/year) won't let you run your own ads.

move to a self-hosted website. Costs much less than $2300 a month or even $500 a month.

True, but it could also be a lot more work for a business site that might end up costing them more in the long run.

One problem I see with these threads is that the OP never really explains the extent of what they want to do. It's certainly better to go self-hosted if you only want to drop in a few links or small paid ads, but ever there you need some (more than basic) know-how to get it running efficiently and get the traffic up.

If you want ads, you need to get paid hosting and export your content to that new WordPress.ORG blog.

Thanks!

Is it easy to do? Do I just have to wait until I have a certain level of traffic and then contact WordPress about building in banner space on the blog?
