Because so many new people are coming on the Internet all the
time and being seduced by get-rich-quick advertising, there's a
place for a marketing advice section on just about any site.
Feel free to post this list on your website or use it in your
newsletter. You could add your own favorite links to it, and
also add full descriptions of each site to make it more useful
for your visitors.
