usually you have to contact someone from the company asking for permission to post their logo or use any information that have on their websites.... i know that there are plenty of people who use companies logos and things without permission but it is not the right way to go about it... a simple email to the webmaster or someone should do the trick... most companies will approve it they just want to know what your blog or website is all about

I  have a business I do from home using the Internet. You can see my site at http://www.writershelper.com/index.html.\n\nI have a service business and the Web site primarily advertises my business, although it earns money in its own right as well. Some of the links on my site earn me money when people click on them.\n\nMy next step will be to create two other sites that simply earn money without my having to provide a service. A site like that, an information site, is created by an infopreneur.\n\nAll of this is quite possible without knowing html or being a designer or having any other specialized technical knowledge.\n\nI have done what I've done with the tools I got from the Web site below. That site has several high quality free e-books (and a few others that you have to pay for). The cost is more than reasonable. I'd gladly have paid 10X what I did.\n\nBest wishes as you pursue your goals.

If you don't know design or programming, its tough to represent your company in a professional representation. Sure, you could create a site, but your customers will not think you're legit. You get one chance to make a good first impression.\n\nI could probably cut my own hair, but if I want it to look great, I'll let a professional do it.

I was intrigued by your question and wanted to further investigate this web site.  My first impression of the website was that it looked like it had been put together by a team of Jr. high web class students.  The web site looked extemely un-proffesional and looked like it had been put together with out much thought.  First red flag, Any company with enough money to pay employees hundreds to thousands of dollars for a few hours of work, could deffinatly hire a proffesional web desinger to create a decent home page.  Did you notice a lack of out side links The only link i found that took you any where was one that took you to "consumer reporter.org.  I must admit by this time i thought well if they have a major consumer reporting company endorsing their company maybe they are the real deal.  I guess i wasn't too surprised to find that "consumerreporter.org" was obviously a site made by these guys to make their company look good.  The same crapy designs, the same poor acting testimonials, cheesy lines, poor images (the icons they have aren't even links, shouldn't those take you somewhere?  or maybe they just didn't want their page to look plain), I also thought that it was interesting that the only product this supposed company has ever done a consumer report on is Itidata.  you couldn't see any other reports on their page!!!  Sounds like a scam to me.  Interested in some of the icons i found on their web site (the ones that dont take you any where i decided to investigate and find out what those sites where, I was surprized to find out that they were real legit sites.  I did a search to see what they said about this web site and almost fell off my seat laughing when i saw what they themselves had led me to.  Here is a letter from a lady who was unsatisfied with this company, you can find this letter on your own by going to www.complaints.com and typing in ITIdata in the search field, well here it is:\n\nMarch 2, 2006 \n\nHello,\nMy name is Mira and I would sincerely appreciate it if you could help me out. Please take the time to read this and find an honest solution. I purchased the itidata training manual after visiting the site consumerreporter.org and the www.itidata.org site. After downloading the manual and reading it very carefully, I realize that the information promised does not appear to be anywhere. The instructions for settting up a clickbank account are there and the link to the clickbank website is there but, no links to the the names of the companies listed on the itidata website. After attempting to follow the directions and sign up with these sites I realize that they ask for a website on which you can place their ads by cutting and pasting their links or they ask you to sign up with other sites by purchaing advertising tools and space. I would like to point out that the manual strictly says you dont need your own website for this and it also says you don't have to be an expert at using the internet and it also says that no extra costs would be incurred. But going to these sites I see just that. I searched for a member area on the site and called their 713-866-6212 number but found no help as promised to their members...they say to call from 9-5 central time and I called 5-6 times between those hours but got \nonly a recording. There is no response to my email which they say they would reply to in 24 hours.\nI don't know what to do anymore. I have studied the manual 5-6 times but this is all that it says.\nI can only pray that I have not been scammed. The truth is I am a part time student with a minimum salary and new to the country. I don't have money to throw away especially this kind. I need to become financially independent and am not looking to earn obscene amounts of cash. But I would love to have \na legit and regular way of doing this. I would like to get started ASAP on this and I request you to help me. I have full faith that as a consumer protection org y

This certainly is a good way to have people find out about your site.  It would also benifit you if you incentivised the site in some way.\n\nhttp://cashflowstoo.com\n\nAlso.. I attempted to link to your site.. and it didn't quite work for me.  Let me know how to link to your site.  I'll do that.\n\nmonty@cashflowstoo.com\n\nHave a good one

Very neat.  But, I don't think this is the place for posting sites that are tring to sell something.  \n\nI did not report this eventhough it is against the rules.  I just wanted you to know before someone decides to be a jerk.

Can the content on your website help others with questions on Yahoo! Answers? If so, then you can include the link as a source when answering related questions. Since search engines regularly index pages from this site, your link will likely be picked up as well.\n\nHowever, be very careful while doing this because if your website doesn't have helpful content or if you post the link on unrelated questions, it will be considered spam and your account will be suspended.

your idea is OK, but why don't you put your picture on your page?\nThis would not be suspicious-looking to those interested.

Yes, there are sites that will do that, but if the cost is significantly less than a local print shop, chances are there will be advertising on the back of the card. Check it out carefully ... Nothing says "cheap" more than passing out a card that has advertising for someone else on it.

Hopefully, this is not an advertising site.\n\nKeep the rules.

Will you go to prison? Probably not.\n\nWill you be sued? Probably not without an opportunity to mend your ways.\n\nWill you get a "cease and desist" letter from the brand owner's lawyers? Increasingly likely, as there are more and more crawler systems on the market seeking trade mark abuse.\n\nAre you entitled to use an e-mail address brandname@yahoo.com? No. This is a prima facie case of "passing off". You could ultimately be sued for any income you make from a "passing off" activity. That is income, not profit.\n\nCan you use brand names in your site metatags? No, this is also potentially "passing off".\n\nIt is always best to get approval from the brand owners before generating any income on the back of their names or logos.

Google should give you the code you need to post their ads.  If you open the code that your tools create in such a way that you can see the code itself (for example, open the files with notepad), then you could be able to just paste the code from google somewhere on your page.

Although it is not announced at the start of every program, what you are actually doing is stealing intellectual property if you are using it to make money.  (Eg: during the Super Bowl you hear "Any reproduction of this program in whole or in part for commercial viewing is strictly prohibited")\n\nIf it's just for information on a blog, then a disclaimer stating where the capture came from should be enough to cover the legalities.

No matter what you do, I can do a screen save or shoot a pic of the browser window with any of a dozen utilities, or download the image straight off the site without using a browser.\n\nIt is pointless to try, and these things are so common knowledge that trying them just makes you look foolish.
