What Precisely Constitutes Advertising?
For as long as I can remember I was under the impression that advertising on GITP can and will resort to permabans; however, I've seen a lot lately of what very much appears to be advertising and yet appears to be allowed. Maybe the rules changed and I missed it. As someone who sells some 3rd Party Pathfinder stuff on other sites, I want to be very clear on exactly what is "advertising" and what isn't.
Is it not advertising if the product you're talking about isn't for sale *yet,* but will be? Are links in your signature allowed? Is it simply a matter of limiting the advertising to a post per day so as not to be obnoxious? Does it have to be in a certain forum?
I enjoy GITP both as a resource and a community and I'd hate to not be a part of it, but I'd also hate to be missing out on an opportunity to sell books to people who might like to buy them. Hence the question.

Here is the relevant section from the forum rules, which I believe answers all of your questions quite nicely.
