Is generally the way most forums work. I've had a look at your posts and most are about Hobart sales... Which might be OK - it looks like you're running a home-based Hobart repair and re-sell service...  Which might be fine, but why should you get free advertising here? This server costs money to run and then there's Floyd's time too.

Two solutions: One - you create and pay for an advertising campaign with the usual people (google, etc.) and these adverts end up here, eventually in the normal way, or two - you pay Floyd directly for a banner ad. or 2. However, there is a third way - you start making bread and making bread posts here. Then maybe put in your profile a link to your hobart sales - also start answering peoples questions on Hobarts and mixers in-general. Post a DIY guide to the mixers, what to look for when buying one, how to refurbish it (trust me, this won't reduce your sales)

And so on...

Give a little, take a little.

If you read some of his posts he has actually has helped a great number of folks on this forum on repair of N50's

I know that I am not worthy of posting my epic bread failures but I do read a lot on the pizza dough,

Thank you all for your comments. Floyd has resolved my problem, don't know what caused it. Yes I repair mixers and my mechanical engineering background does help me do that as well as the posts from users here. In turn I share my lessons learned and help others any way I can. I hope my posts have not created any sore spots here. If there is a monetary compensation imposed for posting ads in the future as you are suggesting I would abide by those rules.

I can confirm that Givemethedough has been a real helper for us folks refurbishing Hobart mixers. His presence on this forum is really precious!
