Removed Listings: Websites will be removed from this list without notice at IFA's discretion. Some of the reasons for removal may include: your website doesn't stay within the framed context (opens in new or full window), annoying popups, redirects, unusually slow loading websites (usually due to java or excess graphics), questionable material, disabled back button, no reciprocal link found, or portals. It may not seem annoying to you but if it is overbearing or annoying to us, it is certainly going to be considered the same to our visitors. You should offer more to our visitors than just a chance to purchase your product. Information is helpful.
