Do we make money from this site?

This site isn’t primarily intended to make money.

But we do have advertisements on some pages.

And some pages contain affiliate links to Amazon which pay us a small commission (generally in the neighborhood of 6%) if you purchase the item to which we link. For example, if you click through and purchase a $10 box of chalk, we earn $0.60.

Our reason for maintaining this site isn’t to earn money. It’s to have a place for basic articles that explain how to get more muscular. The paltry earnings from this site serve to defray hosting and domain registration costs.

Comment Policy

Comments are open to everyone. Comments are retro-moderated, which means your comment will (in most cases) appear on the site immediately, but the owners or admin may moderate it (remove or edit the comment) at a later date.

We have been known to edit comments. Although I don’t particularly like to do this, I think it’s the best way to go in some instances. Think of it less as editing and more as salvaging an otherwise useful comment that’s marred by one crazy paragraph of insults or misinformation. We promise not to edit your stuff in a way that misrepresents what you said (we’ll just trash the comment if it’s not possible to maintain the original meaning).

There is a spam filter in place which catches most spam comments. I’ve never known it to flag legitimate comments as spam, but I suppose such a thing is possible. If you think your comment was mistakenly filtered, please let me know about it (and thanks).

This is not a free for all message board or forum. I want comments that relate to the substance of the article. Feel free to write comments which argue against the points I raise in an article, but please make sure your comments address the main goal of this site: to help skinny kids bulk up and add muscle.

There’s a good chance I’ll remove comments that:

Are totally off topic
Repeat the same point that’s been made before by other commenters (especially if I think it’s a stupid point)
Are obviously written by someone who didn’t read or comprehend the article
Call me (or other commenters) an idiot, a moron, etc.

SkinnyBulkUp.com is maintained by Thomas, a fitness trainer and boxing writer. Thomas writes most of the articles published here, although two other authors also write here.
