Here is what the Editorial Policy says on the subject:
In keeping with both the community and non-commercial spirit of the CCN we
should endeavor to:
1.Provide links to other significant community resources; and
2.Not link sites whose sole raison d'etre is blatant selling

My take is that if the site has some really worthwhile content then it's
worth including a link. If it's only a glorified advertisement then it's
not. Judgement call on this is the perogative of the respective editor.
Having said that, now that the CCN has itself warmed more to the idea of
small buisness it could at some point be contemplated to create sector by
sector buisness listings (lawyers, antique dealers, bead & breakfasts,
etc.) linked in the Buisness area. One the other hand, I think there are
commercial servers out there that are doing this better than we porobably
could.
Cheers!
Chris
