Can I advertise myself, my services, event, or band in a post?
Technically you can, but we’ll probably delete it. Because so many people come to this site searching for reviews, recommendations, and commentary, we try to keep the site free of items that are just show listings or links or that look like advertorials. There are so many artists, venues, festivals, radio DJs, and publicists as members of the site that if everyone posted only links or self-promotional posts, we would become overrun with that kind of post and it would drive away many of the readers we have who are looking for more than that.
We respect and appreciate our advertisers’ willingness to continue to support No Depression, and we would be more than happy to send you information about advertising on this site (email advertising at nodepression dot com).
We also welcome your band, business, or other entity to participate in the community by posting content, discussing other people’s posts in the comments, or sharing your photos, music, and videos. You’re welcome to create a member page that links to your website or other places where people can hear your music. But, if we see you’ve created a post to advertise your goods or services, we’ll have to delete it.
