Welcome!

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Dutch auction. 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. Thank you. Egsan Bacon (talk) 19:17, 30 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Got it, i understand, i thought would be relevant to dutch auctions as it shows how to create a dutch auction site. Normanosborn1 (talk) 19:19, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Your entire contribution history has been attempts to add links from this site as citations. This is called citation spam, and it will get you blocked, especially since the site you're linking to could not be considered a reliable source. You should also know that adding links to your cite as an attempt at SEO will not work: Wikipedia adds a  tag to all rendered links, so external links at Wikipedia do not add to a site's inbound link count. (See nofollow.)   WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
