This includes associations having area and local development representatives as members and providing free-access to their contact directories online (CLICK HERE for comments about the extent of our commitment to cooperation).

We do not accept solicitations or suggestions that we pay for endorsements.

Although it is suggested that exposure on the Internet is driven by such things as link exchanges, The Network is secure in its position as a resource for those search engines respected for quality operations and coverage within its area of information delivery, which is enterprise and economic development with the site selection process included.

When those who are listed in a global directory of contacts, which is freely maintained by Economic Development Services in support of its mission, upgrade their records, they create advantages for themselves while leaving us free to operate with an unbiased services policy. One example of the policy is our search promise ... another is reflected in the way we offer to receive suggestions of places seeking economic development and along with links to their location data suppliers for free listings in all three websites of The Network.

Before establishing our working relationship with with Google we were inspired by learning what Gundotra spoke about.
