Please move through this site slowly. To help with server costs, there are throttles on every page, so do not reload them quicker than once every five seconds.
Note: I do not reach out to people or ask anyone to pay or do any favours for me. Anyone doing that is not me and should be ignored.
- about this site:
Hi! Welcome to my site for advertising YOUR books, or searching through other people's advertised books, for free! You don't even need to make an account, get posting right away!
This site is aimed at self published an indie authors!
I made this site because after publishing my own book, I got zero sales. Nobody could find it. I had trouble finding my own book. Also, I don't like using social media. So I made this website so I didn't have to use social media to advertise my books. You can advertise your books here too, and I will discreetly and non-obviously slip in mine among everyone else's.
This site is NOT a social media site, so please don't treat it as such. There are throttles on every page to prevent this site from being a place where rapid communication happens. It is a place purely to market your books and related content.
And for precautions, I will not contact anybody about paying to advertise on my site, or contact anybody in general. If I get any social media later, I will add it here, and will be using to notify if this site will be having downtime or maintenance. Avoid all impersonators. Do not interact with them even if they reach out to you. They probably want to scam you or do something bad.

- How to support this site?:
When the time comes to sell everybody's search data, I will show you where you can buy it. If you're wondering what's included in the search data: All checkboxes clicked, price bracket, age bracket, date and time the search was made. I don't include any typed data in case somebody types in somebody else's home address or phone number, and I don't include ip addresses alongside search data.
- How to contact you?
Currently I don't have any contact methods since I'm in the middle of setting up this site.
also if the text on the site starts acting out of character, please beware of the site being hacked.
From: THE SITE OWNER!
- How to use:
Most of the intstructions are on the pages themselves, but I will write some stuff here.
First, read the rules and the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy!
There's a bigboard, a miniboard, and a guestbook.
The bigboard is for ads about books only. Your text message must be descriptive of the book.
The miniboard is for books and book-related content. You can be less purely documentational in them, so you can write "SALE!", "NEW RELEASE!", advance copies avaliable, and stuff like that. By book related content, if you have a personal author's website or author's social media, or resources like tips and tricks blog posts, other websites where writers can chat with each other, you can advertise those there. Despite being very stringent on image content, for now, I will allow links to artist portfolio websites for book cover designers. This may change in the future if image content proves to be harmful.
The guestbook is to say hello! You can write about any successes you had with advertising on this website, or any interesting books you found (OTHER PEOPLE'S books, not your own! Don't use the guestbook to advertise your own book, that's what the rest of the site is for!). You can also attempt to write bug reports, but the space is very small.
All ads and guestbook entries have a hide button. Everybody can use it, even if the person did not post that post! This hide button hides it for everyone else too, and sends that ad/post on the queue to be destroyed. Generally things that get sent to the destruction queue don't get out. I won't mind people using the hide button, it exists for a reason and is part of the core functionality of the website, but if you're using it to the point that I get annoyed that you're potentially inhibiting people's ability to use the website and search for books, then I might ban you.
The bump button is supposed to bring an ad to the top of the list whenever somebody sorts by most recent bumptime.
- why am I banned? I didn't do anything wrong?
You might have a dynamic IP address, which means it changes from time to time. It was possible the person who previously had your current IP address was acting badly.
- how long do bans last for?
there isn't a automated system to remove bans, so it depends on how busy i am to check the banlist.
