Answer 1

I recommend you do a little research with the MLM Search Engine. Being community driven it’s a cross between a search engine and a Wikipedia. You can add, delete and improve the results for much more focused answers than a general search engine can provide.   http://www.search-mlm.com

Hi,

I have a lot of experience marketing small companies online (I have 3 companies).  One of the best ways is to sign up at business directories and protals.  These are basically listings of businesses (simliar to the phone book).  The advantage is that these portals usually get a lot of traffic and they're ranked high on Google because of all the quality links they contain.

My favorite portal is called Directory Exclusive.  I signed up a few weeks ago because they're giving a away a free business card holder when a person enter's their company info.  I received it in the mail 3 days ago =)

I don't know if they still have that promotion, but you can try to get the free card holder here:

As far as I know, there is no such rules in India.  But there are lot of complaint/petitions in the courts of law about fraudulant activities of certain companies and when the verdict comes, it will be clear whether their(MLM) activities are within the framework of Indian laws.

Answer 4

No.  The Government of India has a proposal to control these and many such organisation by enacting a law governing these companies.
