Removed a SiteSell "affiliate link" as the purpose of this page - or any of the other pages in this category - is not to generate sales leads but to provide corporate information and history. Maltiti 00:43, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- The entire text of the article is a blatant advertisement in and of itself, and I have tagged it as such. The tone isn't even remotely encyclopedic. The only reason I'm not nominating it for deletion is that it does appear to be notable as a fairly significant Internet-related business (My own extremely dim view of anything that remotely whiffs of MLM notwithstanding).

- I appreciate your input, Ripogenus77, but disagree. The other companies listed in this cat were used as a template for the writing of this article so that it would retain Wikipedia from. That being said, and with several weeks away from this article to provide distance, here the suggested rewrite (non-wikified as of yet but does include the updates from other article contributors to date)...
- I have to agree with Ripogenus77 in that the tone of this article is not encyclopedic. Inclusion of the "guidelines," especially in its current list form, seems to be a clear violation of wikipedia guidelines. As the site does get a large amount of traffic, it does seem appropriate to retain the article. I'm going to make some edits, add a stub tag, and leave the previous version below.
