Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Credit card. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia.

How do you figure that is spamming? That site is not trying to sell anything and does not have any affiliate links. It's a simple, quick guide for young people, to help them find a way to start earning credit. —The preceding

OK, I see what you are saying, but those are just Google Adsense ads. It says "Finally, take a look at the links on the left side of the page under 'More Links.' Every time you view this page, you will see different links there, and they should all be very helpful." The reason it says that, is because it's true. Google scans the keywords and content of the sites that it is on, as I'm sure you know. The ads are made to be relevant and helpful. This is not a business trying to sell anything, just a guide. Are you saying that Wikipedia doesn't link to sites that have Adsense on them? Because that's all this is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Egonitron ( talk • contribs) .
