I don't write a leave a response, however after browsing through a few of the comments on this page "Small Business CEO.com: Free Business Tools for Small Online Business". I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright.

Could it be only me or do a few of the responses look like
they are coming from brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing on additional
places, I would like to follow everything new you have to post.
Would you make a list of the complete urls of all your public
sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?



Here is my blog post edmonton classifieds
