please re consider once again im not sure if its appropiate for me to discuss this here let me know if its not i dont want to break any rules i investigated the following in hopes to get a better resolution i dont feel like the external links page shouldn't include the following if my site is not allowed because they contain the exact same things as my site also just because i am the owner of the site and am adding it what would be the difference if i acted like i wasnt the owner i i have only one link to the graffiti store once you enter the site and its nowhere on the gallery or the top navigation but just because i have a store doesnt mean i was posting my site in order to promote it i was certainly not or else i would of tried to add the store url when i added the other url also like i said before my site has been up since off a different domain and since off the current domain we are ranked on google and get plenty of hits on our own i was not trying to add my site here to receive more hits puregraffiti com is going to be online for as long as the internet is alive the gallery will be the biggest gallery of graffiti art online weather one agrees with me or not you can take a look at the stats and figure it out yourself we are online for graffiti artists that dont have the knowledge or money to get their pictures up on a website that is already established and well known by almost everyone in the usa that is a graffiti artist the store we have merely pays for the dedicated server bill costs to keep this huge site alive and there are other stores online that do advertize on google and other sites we on the other hand dont we also dont charge for the webspace and we also dont have advertizing for money on our site in hopes to make money of our viewers like many of the sites you have accepted please take all this into consideration first graffiti site they have a store as well and they have advertizing for money all through out their site just because they are the first graffiti site doesnt give them any special treatment advertizing for money all over the site advertizing for money pop up when visited the site p s by no means i have a problem with these sites however i do think it is unfair that they get to be on there when my site is the same and does not contain advertizements to make money thank you once again sabrina
