Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Pay-per-click. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it.  MrOllie (talk) 13:25, 26 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Can you please explain how the link I added falls under any of those categories? The website in question is related to the topic and the individual article includes no promotional material and is directly related to the event and includes facts and statements.

 * Blog posts are never reliable sources, and we don't link to copyright violations WP:COPYLINK. MrOllie (talk) 14:23, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

I’ve seen countless blogs being used as sources? And I’m not sure about copyright, but the article does mention the original source and other supporting articles Googleupdater (talk) 15:13, 26 November 2022 (UTC)


 * If you have seen other citations that do not meet sourcing requirements, that is a reason to improve those citations, not to add more work for others by adding more substandard citations. And mention of the original source does not fix a failure to abide by copyright. MrOllie (talk) 15:25, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

I didn’t say they didn’t meet sourcing requirements, they are perfectly good sources. But they are blog posts. Googleupdater (talk) 15:29, 26 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Read the link I just posted. Blog posts (with very few exceptions that do not apply here) are not 'perfectly good sources'. MrOllie (talk) 15:31, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
