The only risk is that you overdo it and it gets seen as a negative thing (advertisements versus spamming). The only judge in this is the general opinion.

I agree; a very well-put point. Jamster anyone? In this case, it also depends on what you happen to be selling, as well.

Though it's very difficult to find a happy medium in between healthy advertising and plain spamming. It's always nice to throw your name out everywhere, but those places may not want to have to see it. It's all in the eye of the reader, not the advertisers themselves.

I've been looking for articles on this actually, and another site (linked with this one, but link omitted) is very useful.
