I was talking to someone on a social site I joined by invite. I noticed that they are signed up with one of the same sites I am signed up with. They kept trying to get me to sign up. I do not like when someone goes overboard trying to get people to sign up for what you do. I do not like getting unsolicited messages about any site that can make one money. I have found most of what I do by checking 3 advertising websites and doing online searches. To me, when someone tries excessively hard to get you to sign up for something then, they need to be deleted as a friend. What would you do if you know someone is is trying way too hard to get people to sign up by going about it the wrong way? Also, If you do have your own business, would you help promote it by doing things like setting a facebook page for it?

by all means yes promote your business through all avenues available to you whether it be online or through word of mouth. business is a numbers game and marketing is math if you push it out to an x number of people and you have a 10% chance of customers coming back, that should be good. so basic logic dictates that in order to raise the number of people in the 10% range you have to promote your product to more people. try pushing it out to a hundred and when you've done that go for a thousand 10 percent of that should make you very happy

If they just need Likes on there fan page then I would do that for them but thats it only and I wont bug anyone to sign up on websites and stuff. I hate spammers and I wont do that hardcore asking people to sign up. Instead I rather find a traffic or site that I can put in on task and pay those who complete the task unlike that bugging someone else to sign up which is not good.

If they are just inviting me to like a page in Facebook they have set up for their business, it's okay, I'll do it for them. But if they are coercing me to sign-up for a certain company they are working with, then it's another issue. I won't, because I am already committed to working out my current business and don't want to be bother with those spam messages. But I won't delete them as friend, because who knows, someday, they would join me if I need them. Don't delete them, instead, just ignore their messages as if you did not notice their message.
