Online Business Income Opportunity

I have a home/online business I try to market on the internet and Yahoo is one of the places I sometimes go. Whenever someone specifically asks if anyone has any good home work opportunities to suggest, I answer and tell them about my business. I am short and to the point. I was reported about half of the time I answered and Yahoo shut down my account when I appealed. Do they have any grounds for this?

I read the community guidelines repeatedly. Can’t you promote your business when someone specifically asked for this information?
Maybe if I leave out the part of it being my business, Yahoo won’t get so upset about the questions being answered.
Advertising doesn’t always cost money. If I provide the answer someone is seeking, I’ve given them something of value. Yes, I benefit too. If it’s against Yahoo policy to tell people about your business, I contend it should also be against Yahoo policy to ask the question!
Thank you for your tips and information Yahzmin. Sorry I am a little upset.

Yes, they do have grounds. No, you can’t ‘promote’ your business — this is not a free advertising site.

You state that you "try to market on the internet", so you must know that advertising costs money and that sites get their income by selling advertising space to users like you. So in essence you are ’spamming’ the YA site with your self-promotion. Which is grounds for suspension.

EDIT: Sorry, got called away on an emergency! Anyway, here is the relevant link to the HELP section that explains it to you:

and what you can and can’t post regarding your personal websites. Like most Yahoo sites, posting links to a site that sells things, especially if it is yours, is not allowed.

Another place to read is Terms of Service (bottom of page), Section 6, paragraph g — spamming. There is a link there to a separate ’spam policy’ that probably should be read as well.
