The rules for posting outside contact information were updated on 24th February 2026: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/change-log-behind-the-scenes-at-bhw.1268318/post-20475459
Off-forum contact details are only allowed:
- in the opening post of a Marketplace thread
- in the Signature of an upgraded member
- in a DM (Direct Message)
Quoting the opening post of a sales thread is not permitted, as you are sharing outside contact information in your post. You may only link to the opening post of a sales thread.
Q. But there's a text box for me to include my website on my profile page, so can I include my website here?
A. No. This is not permitted. We appreciate that having this text box here may be a little confusing, but don't treat it as an invitation to bypass the rules. Thanks!
