A lot of good the "no rom links" rule does

That one is still at the top of a large percentage of the pages.

Can you filter the words ROM and DVD altogether, as I can't TRULY think of a legit advertisement related to our hobby that would use either word.

paigeoliver:
I am also unsure about how you feel about your book being offered as a "free gift" by a spam website. I registered a new email address, went through all the hoops, carefully opting out of EVERYTHING, carefully selecting not to sign up for ANYTHING. Then at the end it forces you to sign up for SOMETHING to get your free gift. So I did the GM Mastercard application since it didn't cost anything and didn't require me to give out my own credit card number.

At this point you go back to the website and realize that there IS no NEXT STEP at all. The entire process ends at the page with the affiliate links (one of which you MUST apparently sign up for), but there is no where to go to complete the process.

I also started receiving spam at this new email address within minutes after going through this process, and I severely DOUBT I will be getting my free copy of your book anytime soon.
