There have been many new additions to the list of sp's advertising on perb recently and many of us have noticed a new trend in posting etiquette/frequency, which tends to put others at a disadvantage by bumping threads from first/second page a lot quicker than in the past. I think it goes without saying that one of the things we all appreciate about advertising on perb is that it has never been a spamming environment, where we have to worry about top-posting constantly, like CL for example. There are definitely more than enough spots for all of the paying advertisers to maintain visibility, without having to feel like there is a need to compete.
I think that in order to keep things fair, to keep these sections free of spam and to remain respectful to all the other ladies, it is usually good etiquette to limit the amount of separate threads as much as possible. Posting to existing threads (ie bumping a previous thread) is definitely encouraged, as opposed to creating multiple new threads.
There is no real benefit to creating new threads daily or twice daily, whether you have one or 15 threads on the first couple of pages doesn't change anything to the end result or doesn't make your advertising any more effective. The only effect creating multiple threads within a short period of time has, is on other advertisers who find their own thread bumped in a short period of time, and taking up slots that other advertisers have paid for, like you have also.
There is no need to top post and bump others threads, and really no need to make this like CL. Please be mindful of this so we can all continue to get the same visibility, without having to continually start threads or bump old ones in order to keep a spot. Once the thread is there, that's all you really need.
Feel free to add any comments, suggestions, etc.
