• Comment Notable online merchants make thousands of sales an hour, and the alexa link you posted confirms that this site doesn't register at all. Please review the guidelines at WP:WEB and WP:CORP. Doesn't look like this comes remotely close on either. And please don't forge signatures on your comments. Fan-1967 17:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
