Each NetBizCommunity.com search engine listing allows for an email address to be associated with it, which is provided by the person who submits the URL for listing at the time of submission.  NetBizCommunity.com sends a welcome email after the submitted URL has been added or updated in our search engine listings.  Occasionally NetBizCommunity.com sends email notifications to the those who have listings in the NetBizCommunity.com search engine to the associated email addresses.

At any time, a person who has an email address associated with one or more listings may opt to remove their email address from all listings.  This is done here.  Note:  If a URL is submitted at a future time with a removed email address, the email address will once again receive email notifications for the submitted listing.
