:::*20. Text of the link goes beyond describing the contents to actively encouraging you to read it. For example, including text such as, "Read more about [subject] in [this fascinating article]" (<i>In this case the editor writes, "a good read"</i>)
:This paticular link isn't too bad as far as ads go. And I do think they have some content (though I think most of their information is already covered in this Wikipedia article). But the fact that they are unwilling to sign up for an account and discuss the link's merits makes me question their intent.

== My UK perspective ==
Please dont take this the wrong way.
Nice article, but I'm not sure that this article is suffiently world rather than US orientated, as most of various ratios I've never heard of before (despite being involved in housing in the UK for a great many years) and I therefore expect they are in use in the US.
Also, "Real estate" is a distinctively American term as in British English we would say "Property" or "Housing". I do not know what terms are used in other english speaking countrys.
I have added two ratios used in the UK: the rental yield and the Affordability Index.
Shouldnt the ratios be moved to their own article, [[Property ratios]]?
No offence, but I would not have thought that the pop books from the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" author were worth adding to the bibliography, and I have read them.
A seperate comment about rental yields: statistics of these are difficult to get hold off, and it would be great if people would add links to various sites where they can be obtained online.
Thanks. --[[User:81.104.12.19|81.104.12.19]] 18:49, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
