Lol. If answering a question with your own product makes something not an ad, then how easy it to disguise ads as answers?
Product placement is an ad.
Answering questions about reputable sellers by advertising your business, is... wait for it... an ad
Asking someone to say your product is good, is... an ad, albeit indirect.
Are you trying to sell a product and go to consumer forum and try to big up your own product? Yep, you've guessed it, an ad.
Let's see what the definition of "marketing" is. Hmmm
"the activity or business of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising."
Well there sure as hell wasn't any market research when agency tooted it's own horn. So what are they doing? Promoting their own shit.
I don't see what my occupation has to do with anything. I'm not a car salesman, true that. Can't stand them.
As far me posting on only my local forum, yea sorry bro. I'll post anywhere where I think the seller is overstepping their boundaries.
