You mention not linking to Arbitron-licensed sites, but what about linking to Arbitron itself? Arbitron now lists topline ratings on its own website. (I'd link to it, but I won't. See the "Topline Ratings" link on the right side of the Arbitron home page.)

Just a reminder about RI's policy on posting of Arbitron numbers.

If I take any sort of quote out of the article I limit it to no more than a couple of line and always put it in italics and make sure that it's know that it's not my words.

Also, if you're posting a link, place the [ url ] [ /url ] (no space in between the []'s and the URL) tags around the link.

Anyway, I hope those example help!
