Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Small business do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 17:11, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
The link I provided is to the website that offers a lot of great info for small business owners in a form of a blog. That link doesn't sell product, ads or has any other commercial use other than offer information that helps small business owners advance their businesses. All info there is free for all. I would appreciate a reconsideration of that link. Thank you very much.
- Please have a look at Wikipedia's policy concerning external links to be avoided. #11 in the list is Links to blogs, personal web pages and most fansites, except those written by a recognized authority. (This exception for blogs, etc., controlled by recognized authorities is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities always meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for people.) --bonadea contributions talk 17:29, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
