I am a member of the Indian Internet Marketers Group at LinkedIn. I don’t spend a lot of time following the threads or making comments.

Well, you do; that’s who. Don’t laugh. If you’re reading this article, you have a Miva Merchant powered online business and you know enough about my monthly articles (and perhaps even my presentations at the Miva Merchant Conferences) to know that I don’t espouse nonsense.
