Overall excellent guidelines. While I agree that marketing is not personal finance, I think that there is enough of a connection that it shouldn’t be excluded outright. This week I submitted an article to the Carnival of the Capitalists and I noticed this at on their submission form: http://www.gongol.com/opinion/2004/dontexcludecontributors
It is a set of reasons and hosting guidelines that argue for openness rather than exclusion in their carnival. I tend to agree with their logic. Better to have the odd slightly off-topic post slide in than to create an atmosphere of exclusion.
Thanks for your efforts in this project.

Inclusion is the best policy. Off-topic posts aren’t offensive and inclusion is up to the host, but those that are advertisements should be frowned upon. The Carnival (and any traffic it might generate) shouldn’t be “used” in that manner, I believe. I changed the guidelines to incorporate more of an “inclusive” feel which I completely agree with.
