Advertising Services

We do not allow people to post threads or to send private messages or emails to users of this site that advertise or solicit any products or services. Explicit advertising and soliciting in signatures (sigs) is also prohibited.

We have some rules that apply for certain forums:

Hot Deals Forum Guidelines

We encourage you to find and post new Hot Deals (create new threads within the Hot Deal Forum).

New Hot Deal Threads can only be posted once, so we ask that you first search utilizing our forum search engine to make sure the deal has not already been posted.

We also ask that you search our Compare Prices search engine to make sure the deal you are listing is truly a “Hot Deal”.

Be sure your thread title is concise, but also contains the minimal relevant information including product name, store name, price, and special conditions like free-after-rebate (FAR).

If you are looking for a deal on a particular item, please post in our Deal Talk forum. We also suggest you utilize our Compare Prices page.

Of course, we encourage you to create threads and post replies in all of our forums.

We also ask that if you do make a purchase based on a recommendation from one of the threads or reply posts that you come back and make a comment on that thread based on your experience so that others can benefit. Remember, we are relying on you to make dealking.com a success. Thank you. Did we say thank you. Thank you again.
