    Its usually better to not mention your site.

    However if a question can be more thoroughly answered with information on your site, then it should be ok.

    depends. if it happens to be relevant to a particular question then no. but i've seen someone on here mindlessly plugging a site into every question they answer. that is spam.

    i see it like this, if the site is dedicated to a specific topic, that would be okay. if it's that blogspot thing, i'm sure you've seen it at some point, that's spam. a blog is not factual information.

    if it has answers relevant to the question I would find it very hard to believe anyone would view it as spam.

    does that mean that if I post a web address (one that i dont own) to someone, am I spamming also??
