I've often wondered about the apparent conflict between those two
clauses in such licenses.  Some, like yours, specifically exempt from
one clause uses necessary to satisfy the other:

 * 3. The following acknowledgement must appear in printed documentation
 * accompanying a physical distribution of a collective work including
 * this software, and must appear in an ASCII file accompanying an
 * electronic distribution of a collective work including this software:
 *
 *      This product includes software developed by Greg A. Woods.
 *
 * 4. The name of the author may NOT be used to endorse or promote
 * products derived from this software without specific prior written
 * permission.  The use of the author's name strictly to meet the
 * requirements of the previous terms is not to be considered promotion
 * or endorsement under this term.

"advertise", according to online webster, means

1: to make something known to: NOTIFY
2a: to make publicly and generally known <advertising their readiness
     to make concessions>
2b: to announce publicly esp. by a printed notice or a broadcast
2c: to call public attention to esp. by emphasizing desirable qualities
     so as to arouse a desire to buy or patronize

I stand by my choice of words: it seems to me fairly clear you wish
your name advertised (2b, possibly 2a too), but do not wish it used to
advertise (2c) something else.
