Agreed! If you post it in the "Ad" section, it immediately gets swamped by other ads. I see some providers post it elsewhere (like in coed) and get away with it while others are scolded. Others also put it in their signature, which may be most effective if they post consistently.
I think a well-moderated "Update" section may be beneficial for posting new websites and pictures, although I see a section like that abused by some providers who may "update" often in an attempt to keep their thread at the top of the forum.
