Keep, helpful, I cleaned it up. Wyss 12:10, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Google is deceptive on this one. A google search on "testmagic" but excluding returns from their own domain reduces the number of hits from 50,000 to 8,360. Scanning the first few pages of hits, most are advertisements that redirect to their domain, link pages or blogs. Digging deeper - According to this, it is a for-profit company generating revenues by advertising. Hoovers' reports that they generated a mere $430,000 revenues and have only 15 employees. That size does not rise to the level normally expected for inclusion of other companies. Since size did not establish notability, I started looking for other indicators. None of the reviews I found described their offerings as particularly innovative or influential. The Alexa ranking is ambiguous - huge variability over the past year. I can't find anything else. Unless other evidence can be found, reluctant delete. Rossami (talk) 23:10, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
