Quick Note About Giveaways
Hello all..;)
I just found out that if I put Blogher ads on my blog, I'm not supposed to have giveaways on the same page. Apparently it's considered competing advertising. *Shrug*
My understanding is that Blogher is fairly strict about this because it's an understanding they have with their advertisers and they don't want to upset their paying sponsors-- understandably.
So, out of respect to Blogher, and a hope that the advertising will eventually cover my shipping costs, I am going to change the way I put up my giveaways-- though it shouldn't be an issue for you, the reader.
What I will do is post the giveaways but date them so they show up either way down my blog page [which I think should be okay by Blogher rules] or on another page. I will put a notification post at the top of the page--which shouldn't violate any agreements-- with a link to the giveaway. As usual I will also list the giveaway on my left sidebar with a picture link.
I hope this works.
My current giveaways are Flaxen Femme Fatale & Ballistic Babes by John Zakour and Lawrence Ganem
Corambis by Sarah Monette
and
Prophets by S. Andrew Swann
I hope this doesn't confuse anyone. I will do everything I can to make sure giveaways are well publicized as they are posted.
Thanks!

Sounds difficult. Didn't know that there are so many rules to follow in order to launch a giveaway. Hope you don't get into trouble.
wow.. never heard of this and i wonder if others that do giveaways know about it???
Wow, who would have thunk it.
Yeah, it kind of threw me too. But what are you gonna do?
