- I realize that it is software. Does it meet the criteria for inclusion? If so, how? IrishGuy talk 01:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

11/29/06 - Information to support notability of the subject of the stub
In looking at the notability of LinkScan, one must bear in mind that because of it's high cost $750 to $7,500 and more, and it's value being realized in just very large websites, that it's use is much more limited then consumer oriented products. It is used primarily by very large organizations who can afford the staff and resources to maintain large websites. You can develop an appreciation for this by reading the following news story.
