So, is SearchTrade going to be a search engine competing with Google, with the unique feature of rewarding its users with Satoshi ?

You are selling keywords like facebook,Amazon etc will not it create copyright issue later when users will actually start trading these keywords?

No, we are not competing with google but rewarding satoshi's for sure.

So, it is not going to be a search engine ?

So you are going to take money for keywords, give a fraction of it to users who search for the keyword and give a fraction of money you get from ads for those keywords to the keyword owners?

Application Developer: Get Paid everytime user selects application they built to make a search.
For search done directly on Searchtrade, Searchtrade is the "Application Developer" and hence gets 50% for such searches?

After initial pre-selling pool gets funded through ads, so if ads cannot generate sufficient revenue, the payments will go on decreasing per search rather than being constant.

And what about your results, will it be taken from more bigger search engines like google/bing etc. or you are building complete search engine(crawlers+databases+page ranking algos etc)

SearchTrade is set to launch in 107 days and has already generated a fan following by raising 91 BTC during a recent keyword presale.

When did that happened?

We launched about 15 days back. Cointelegraph article seem to have created more awareness.
Some time back Cointelegraph was raising awareness about BitcoinCloudServices too :P

How much of that 91 BTC is your own investment ? ::)

Hello SearchTrade. I've bought a few of your keywords in the pre-sale and am very into your whole concept/ethos.

But can you explain your following sentence?

Our expectation is over time payout may decrease but increased searches may help increase income from keywords.    

I do not understand why you expect payout over time to decrease, and I certainly didn't expect payout to decrease when I spent 0.4 BTC for one keyword  :)

You mention searches 'may' help increase income, yet as far as I can work out, a search won't help anything, advertisers that pay SearchTrade and are targeting specific keywords on the other hand, will. Is this correct? If not, why not?

Which leads me onto my next question,

If person A has the keyword 'Hotel' yet person B has the keyword 'Five' and person C has 'Star', and the person searching writes 'Five star hotel', yet the advertiser has purchased to show hotel ads on the 'Hotel' keyword search, will person A, B & C both receive equal revenue?

You mention a yearly fee for keyword renewal, what is your ballpark estimate for that yearly cost? This is an important question as there's little point, investment wise, in purchasing a keyword that will not make back it's purchase price let alone yearly fee. I'd like to buy more of the keywords, but I have to know it's a financially sound decision.

And lastly,

Will there be a higher payout rate for those keyword owners that own desirable ad keywords which advertisers pay for ad placement, rather than to those who own keywords where advertising revenue generated from it is unlikely. For example:

'Discount' may generate good advertising revenue...

But,

'Strange' will likely generate minimal (if any) ad revenue.

Can you give an example of potential payout rates for each (ballpark is fine.)

Thanks

Got a lot of questions:

http://www.searchcoin.info/contact-info/ < can't contact you. that's the first red alert.

http://scndemo.com/ it says demo, but can I actually send bitcoin to this wallet? what happens with the coins? If I buy a low-cost keyword it spits out an error. what's up with that?

what if I buy a 0.40BTC keyword? where is it stored, in the demo wallet? is that even secure?

Hey I am trying to get my hands on some keywords but at checkout I select BTC and nothing happens, I have the domains on cart, what do I do?


Title: Re: SearchTrade.com Using Bitcoin to Reinvent the Search Engine Business

Just in case if this maters,

I know Vishal ( SearchTrade co founder ) personally,  know him from last 2 years. I have visited his office in Mumbai and know he and team at SearchTrade is working on this project from last 1 and half year. We discussed this concept lot of times on long phone calls and I always found this concept very very interesting.  Obviously you must make sure you check everything about searchtrade platform and team and invest only if you find can trust it. The concept of searchtrade is very complex and honestly I believe it will take some time for whole system to get mature.

To Vishal and team, you will be amazed seeing number and type of scams you see here. Community here is skeptical about all business and I am sure you will take all feedback constructively.

Best of luck to Saechtrade and team, and best of luck to keyword investors :)

Regards
Mahin
Co founder, Zebpay

You must select terms and conditions box after chosing bitcoin payment option.

No there was a problem with safari displaying the payment box, I sorted it using chrome

Now last night I got 4 keywords for which I paid 1.6BTC, and now they DONT appear in my account, whats going on????

Demo site is mock/Beta which means what you or any user does on demo is just what it says experiencing Demo. Keywords you bought are yours when we launch final system. Demo is built just to allow keyword buyers to experience how final system will work.


Thank you, I can see my purchased keywords in scndemo.com/keywordsale, but then it doesn't appear in any other site, that had me wondering.

Fast and easy process tho a bit confusing in the beginning

There is discussion going about the authencity of the service here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1169587.20

I caution everyone not to invest until that discussion is resolved. Compounding to that is the fact that their withdraw BTC function is not working , whereas deposit BTC is working ...!!

I definitely do not think that Vishal would scam anyone. Even in the worst case if Searchtrade does not launch, i am quite certain that he would refund all collected coins.
Have known him for few years now, we meet quite regularly and I have met quite a few from his team as well.

Frankly we launched pre sale for friends and family and we're completely unprepared for people coming and buying keywords. Anyways once presale is over keywords will be a sold on the platform at what ever price band they are available at. Essentially keyword sale will never stop as long as there are words people can still buy just like domain names. What would happen is all lucrative words would probably be sold out and people will start trading them based on performance.

okay, thanks!

to go more in depth: would a keyword be cheaper or more expensive after the launch? presale is 0.4BTC - but what about the live system? I guess cheaper?

Benson thank you for your word of support.

Like I have stated before am in it for long haul not instant gratification. We have begun with intent of building something great and not to make quick buck. Whatever we have collected and more is going to be invested in building the product. The response we have received so far has made our resolve even stronger. Two offices and growing to team of 50 people costs much much more than what we have collected so far. Point being there is a lot at stake even on personal account.

Withdraw BTC is still showing invalid BTC address error and you are still allowing deposits

Moderator endorsing you is good. Please fix Withdraw BTC ASAP,  Benson cannot keep on endorsing you on every post, if you want to built trust of people I recommend fix this issues or move to testnet

I do believe he said those wallets are mock ups and not real. Because the addresses say they arnt real if you try to load them.
So im guessing all the current funds is says people gaining are prob pure just system generated to sql with no real value.


The logo on the inside says beta/mockup So likely no need to put on testnet.


Edit: or it already is and im a dummy x3

I rarely vouch for anyone but Vishal and team have put some backbone into this and I would love to see a very cool outcome.

That having been said, Like all software, this one needs a lot of work and sometimes, complex/ evolving apps do get messy to update/ change.

Am sure that's not a testnet address.
And am sure that the later releases are gonna get better in time.

And most importantly, am happy about most of the criticism threads, cos that has generated a lot of feedback for Vishals team to work on.

Am not gonna post much here as well, Only did, cos I saw some confusion about the person rather than the product.

Shameless plug: Should have used the Coinsecure wallet API :)

Yeah those arent deposits those are purchases of keywords.
Meaning when the full service starts you own them that's not to fill up your account main beta site is a testnet.
And as you guys can see a moderator is vouching for them.
Its beta but from the chat i've had they are currently hiring more developers.

Edit: And as you guys can see a moderator is vouching for them from what he knows of said owner or owners/developers.

Do look into what we mean, when we say testnet here. Bitcoin testnet is a very nice tool that allows real transaction tests on any system that uses Bitcoin.

A site moderator vouching for anyone means garbage tbh. I expressed and express my views as an individual most of the time. And I do make mistakes.
So please take some time out to do some due diligence and you will also find that the people behind this are legit and passionate about what they do.

Really Benson ? The fact is that, you blindly vouch for obvious scams, if you know the scammer personally and his service is not directly competing you. Proof ? Here we go...

can we really trust this site?

The person who runs it is 100% trustworthy. The website may have some flaws though.

As with everything in Bitcoin land, proceed at your own caution.
^^^You vouched for rbitco.in scam, because you knew the scammer Nilam Doctor personally. You have also left +ve feedback to an untrustworthy person (scam promoter) to balance his feedback - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=93844. It is good that you accpet that at least...

A site moderator vouching for anyone means garbage tbh. I expressed and express my views as an individual most of the time. And I do make mistakes.

So, please do not vouch/promote this SearchCoin scam. 91 BTC investment is out and out lie. Most of that coin is owned by the scammers behind. This is a modified Ponzi. They got the heat after posting it in global Altcoin Section - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1170297.0 and now trying trap investors in India forum.

SparkedDev - You have made enough claims of investing hundreds of BTC that I think some proof is in order.  Please sign an address containing several hundred BTC & show us the transactions of 100+ BTC you've made from your address to invest in the claimed businesses.

please give me a btc address ill send some btc from one of my wallets.

Sure!

Just to let anyone know, the wallet works for receiving payments that can be verified on the blockchain and the system then ascribes you the keywords you purchased. I purchased several and had no problems at all.

I admit though, that word 'demo' floating about the site is rather disconcerting, but I didn't notice it 'til I'd already got a few keywords so it was too late for me to worry.

SparkedDev - You have made enough claims of investing hundreds of BTC that I think some proof is in order.  Please sign an address containing several hundred BTC & show us the transactions of 100+ BTC you've made from your address to invest in the claimed businesses.

please give me a btc address ill send some btc from one of my wallets.

Sure!

Edit: no need to go overboard. Just 1% of your 15k will suffice as a demonstration. :)

Your Indian brotherhood might not save your long con. Good Luck. :)

Um i did post it in my investment thread. Also did not say it was a sure thing i said might can and could.
I'm not hiding the fact that im invested in it. I shared it i have no development ties or any before contact with said site before i invested.
I read the dudes facebook twitter linkedin and invested 1.2btc you should not be investing in anything if you can't afford to get burned.
No where do i say you have to invest omg its the deal of a life time.
Ive even taken time to talk to one of them on skype and get an idea of what they are trying to build and do.
If i invest i get involved only stupid people invest and don't try to watch what or interact with their investment or community.
If it turns out to be a scam okay my bad i lost out on something you don't have to follow my advice and i don't tell anyone its 100% roi.

Really Benson ? The fact is that, you blindly vouch for obvious scams, if you know the scammer personally and his service is not directly competing you. Proof ? Here we go...

can we really trust this site?

The person who runs it is 100% trustworthy. The website may have some flaws though.

As with everything in Bitcoin land, proceed at your own caution.
^^^You vouched for rbitco.in scam, because you knew the scammer Nilam Doctor personally. You have also left +ve feedback to an untrustworthy person (scam promoter) to balance his feedback - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=93844. It is good that you accpet that at least...

A site moderator vouching for anyone means garbage tbh. I expressed and express my views as an individual most of the time. And I do make mistakes.

So, please do not vouch/promote this SearchCoin scam. 91 BTC investment is out and out lie. Most of that coin is owned by the scammers behind. This is a modified Ponzi. They got the heat after posting it in global Altcoin Section - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1170297.0 and now trying trap investors in India forum.



Not all the time, but I do make mistakes, as mentioned. And I did have the rbitco.in episode in mind when i typed those last words.

I think it's better to wait and snatch some cheaper names. at least if you're on budget :)

is there a set release date?

We have a time ticker at bottom left of searchtrade.com landing page. Indicating approximate launch time. Yes you can always  join the project later.

so in launch in approx 3 months? that's okay, I can wait. thanks for the answer :)

From what i can see transaction are done through coinbase merchant api and i believe your account has to be verified to even use it.
The contact Ive had with them there has been a server move, and something about development team expansion.
Other then that i got no clue everyone's guess is better then mine at this point, but with all the social media and background check ive done there is enough info just in case.

I have two questions for you searchtrade:

1.) your site still isn't running, correct?  I see that your link to the keyword crowd-sale is still running, but it appears that "searchtrade.com" is giving server error messages.

2.) can you go into a little more details about the "math" or algorithm to calculate the payout per search?  Is the payout per day pre-determined as a percentage of the community pool, or based on extrapolating rate of growth to last so many days, as to allow more money to enter the pool before it dries up?  How does it work?


Title: Re: SearchTrade.com Using Bitcoin to Reinvent the Search Engine Business
Post by: silentwitness on September 14, 2015, 10:10:52 PM
Thanks for quick reply.

One more question about the search payout: so, if a person searches "how to rock climb" and "how", "to", "rock", and "climb" are all keywords that are owned by community members, then the person who made the search would get 400 satoshi (100 for each keyword hit)?  And if one person owned three of those four words, they would get 300 satoshi, if I understand you correctly.

Well making coins public is a good way to show that we have the money but how does one know where the coins came from where will they go. anyway am posting picture of my wallet. which has 146 btc balance. Rest of the BTC is in another wallet that we were using to sell to friends and family. As you can see we have more than half that is 96.2 btc that needs to go into pool for payouts thank you

Posting a simple image dosen't proove anything , and definitly dosen't proove that you own this , it could be photoshoped or anything else .
I'am not even sure why someone with this huge amount keep them on Smartphone wallet , this should be kept on Cold storage or at least Two Factor authentification Desktop wallet .

Yep, trust is very precious. So... I see you've now extended the pre-sale price of 0.4 per keyword to 1000 units instead of the 500 it previously was. You had said that after the block total was reached ( 000/500 ) that each block would go down by 10% each time.

As an investor, I find the moving of goal posts a touch worrying. Is there some explanation for this?

You missed the maybe in that, it was meant to be a broad explanation of our thinking. Anyway we will be releasing slab and pricing soon on the website for all to see. this happened unexpectedly and we have been stretched to our working limits over past 15 days.

Honestly, where money and investment are concerned, 'maybe' shouldn't even be a part of your company's vocabulary, and it certainly isn't there on your website: http://searchtrade.news/keywordowner/ (http://searchtrade.news/keywordowner/)

'The keywords will be sold on a first come first serve basis based on price slabs from 1-100 101-500 etc. Price will be reduced after each slab since first buyers are likely to buy higher performing words.'

Now, granted, the slab 000/500 wasn't reached in view of the 500 total (yet), but you did shift the goal post to 1000 total at 0.4btc per keyword. No maybe about it. If you can just randomly change the slab total as you fancy then my confidence is less that other factors of value within my investment won't be randomly changed as you maybe choose.

Its right at checkout next to other options. Curious to know what you find doggy?

Mmmh for me the site was trying to make me deposit only with BTC. I will try again later.

Well first the sncdemo.com URL when you buy is a bit confusing. Then when I wanted to deposit, the "pay with btc" button was 15% hidden, still clickable though. I clicked then then site went a bit darker, like for a pop up but no pop up ! So even if I wanted to deposit with Bitcoin I wouldn't be able. It was on Chrome.
I will list you guys on InvestBitcoinGuide.com if you happen to be trusted by the community in the future.


Title: Re: SearchTrade.com Using Bitcoin to Reinvent the Search Engine Business | PayPal BT
Post by: silentwitness on September 16, 2015, 09:24:52 PM
I did some number-crunching after purchasing a few keywords and "scoring" my words against the search word "porn" on "google trends".  My words scored over 700% of total searches for "porn", per month (774% to be exact).

At 33.34 Satoshi per one of my keywords being searched (I divided 100 satoshi by 3, as I figure searches will probably average 3 keywords), and figuring that there are 100,000 users per month on the searchtrade search engine, each averaging about 6.667 searches, my list of keywords generated only about 0.0171 BTC after one year.

So, according to my calculations, unless the value of Bitcoin shoots through the roof (over $10,000 per Bitcoin...staying there), searchtrade's search engine must achieve 10 million users per month, or more, to be profitable to the community pool (keyword owners).  

At 10,000,000 users (or 66.67 million searches) per month, my keyword list would generate about 1.71 BTC per year, meaning that the word "porn" would generate 1.71 BTC divided by 7.74, or 0.221 BTC per year ($50.35 per year at Bitcoin's current price), since my list is projected to generate 774% of "porn" searches - this all assuming the same distribution of search "habits" for visitors between searchtrade's search engine and Google's.

BTW, there are roughly 5.8 billion searches per day on Google's search engine.  This would likely equate to around 870 million users of the Google search engine per day, using the same math from earlier (total searches/ 6.667 searches per user = number of users).

This is valuable information to have as an investor in this, which is why I chose to share it here.

*edit:

Another bit of interesting info for you: this same list of keywords would generate about 12.26 BTC per day on Google's search engine, at 1,103,172,409 searches per month for my keywords!  I wouldn't mind it if searchtrade could grow to that size... ;D

*edit 2:

I likely used a low-ball figure for the number of searches for the word "porn", per month.  According to "google adwords", the word "porn" is searched about 124 million times per month, currently.  Since "porn" scores an 87 at the moment on "google trends", when it was at its peak (100) it would have been searched about 142.5 million times per month (assuming the google adwords estimate is reliable).

The problem with using google adwords is that, I believe, it only counts how many times the word is searched, alone (without other words included in the search query...so, for instance, the search "hot porn" wouldn't count as a search for "porn", since another word is included) ...which would likely make this a VERY low-ball figure.

But even if the word "porn" is searched ten times as often as google adwords suggests, putting the total searches per month at 1.24 billion, 1.42 billion at its peak, it would still only generate about 0.0244 BTC per year for the word "porn", at 667,000 searches per month (what I figured to be the number of searches for 100,000 users).

The planned payout system requires that there be tens of millions of searches per month for this to become profitable.  At hundreds of millions of searches per month it would become very attractive for those who hold keywords that generate a high number of searches relative to the pool of keywords (words like "the", "porn", "sex", "facebook", "youtube", etc).  At billions of searches per month, if Bitcoin can maintain above $200, this might be able to replace your job for income with a high scoring word and give a decent yearly profit for even average scoring words.  At tens of billions of searches per month, one can retire and live beyond his/her means with a high scoring word and perhaps replace their job's income with one or two average scoring words.  At hundreds of billions, you might make it onto Forbes magazine with the highest scoring words!

I did some number-crunching after purchasing a few keywords and "scoring" my words against the search word "porn" on "google trends".  My words scored over 700% of total searches for "porn", per month (774% to be exact).

At 33.34 Satoshi per one of my keywords being searched (I divided 100 satoshi by 3, as I figure searches will probably average 3 keywords), and figuring that there are 100,000 users per month on the searchtrade search engine, each averaging about 6.667 searches, my list of keywords generated only about 0.0171 BTC after one year.

So, according to my calculations, unless the value of Bitcoin shoots through the roof (over $10,000 per Bitcoin...staying there), searchtrade's search engine must achieve 10 million users per month, or more, to be profitable to the community pool (keyword owners).  

At 10,000,000 users (or 66.67 million searches) per month, my keyword list would generate about 1.71 BTC per year, meaning that the word "porn" would generate 1.71 BTC divided by 7.74, or 0.221 BTC per year ($50.35 per year at Bitcoin's current price), since my list is projected to generate 774% of "porn" searches - this all assuming the same distribution of search "habits" for visitors between searchtrade's search engine and Google's.

BTW, there are roughly 5.8 billion searches per day on Google's search engine.  This would likely equate to around 870 million users of the Google search engine per day, using the same math from earlier (total searches/ 6.667 searches per user = number of users).

This is valuable information to have as an investor in this, which is why I chose to share it here.

*edit:

Another bit of interesting info for you: this same list of keywords would generate about 12.26 BTC per day on Google's search engine, at 1,103,172,409 searches per month for my keywords!  I wouldn't mind it if searchtrade could grow to that size... ;D

*edit 2:

I likely used a low-ball figure for the number of searches for the word "porn", per month.  According to "google adwords", the word "porn" is searched about 124 million times per month, currently.  Since "porn" scores an 87 at the moment on "google trends", when it was at its peak (100) it would have been searched about 142.5 million times per month (assuming the google adwords estimate is reliable).

The problem with using google adwords is that, I believe, it only counts how many times the word is searched, alone (without other words included in the search query...so, for instance, the search "hot porn" wouldn't count as a search for "porn", since another word is included) ...which would likely make this a VERY low-ball figure.

But even if the word "porn" is searched ten times as often as google adwords suggests, putting the total searches per month at 1.24 billion, 1.42 billion at its peak, it would still only generate about 0.0244 BTC per year for the word "porn", at 667,000 searches per month (what I figured to be the number of searches for 100,000 users).

The planned payout system requires that there be tens of millions of searches per month for this to become profitable.  At hundreds of millions of searches per month it would become very attractive for those who hold keywords that generate a high number of searches relative to the pool of keywords (words like "the", "porn", "sex", "facebook", "youtube", etc).  At billions of searches per month, if Bitcoin can maintain above $200, this might be able to replace your job for income with a high scoring word and give a decent yearly profit for even average scoring words.  At tens of billions of searches per month, one can retire and live beyond his/her means with a high scoring word and perhaps replace their job's income with one or two average scoring words.  At hundreds of billions, you might make it onto Forbes magazine with the highest scoring words!

Your also forgetting keywords popularity if its competitive, in google there are keywords worth millions.
So that being said even on a small network scale each keyword advertising section could go up in value do to rate of growth and competitiveness for keywords.
Also they plan on doing advertising network and values of countries, keywords could change over time meaning if the site does well.
Your calculation is a bit flawed your going off basic numbers. Values go up as new companies and products/services show up on the market.
If they will also be going into more unique kind of advertising like Twitter, YouTube, Instagram  stuff like that showing up with ad's advertising funds and payouts could see growth.
This is already has at start multiple markets it can gain advertising, affiliate based marketing, work at home, and bitcoin related products and many more.
Ultimately market space is what determines what its worth, how else do you think coindesk offers 5,000 a month for an advertising spot a week.
It all depends what markets this can feed.  

So at the start of a company or service like this there is real risk, but if the business and marketing model is worked and looked at it could do very well.
Even google and other search engines had huge hick ups i hope they are smart enough to see those burns and issues and spend wisely.
But ultimately advertising this world wide is ultimately going to make or break this company.
Also working with ap developers could help since everything it seems is going mobile.

Don't get me wrong this could make or break pockets.
Ultimately the money used gained from presale is probably not going to cover everything and they will likely need to get private investors.
All we can do is wait.

Also in this market you shouldn't be spending any money if its going to hurt your income/lifestyle you live if it crashes and burns.

Post by: silentwitness on September 17, 2015, 12:39:59 AM
Thanks for that input, searchtrade.  The things you shared on this post are the type of things that the investors (in keywords) need to know, IMO.  The more detailed your plan, the less the perceived risk, so long as the plan seems feasible.  The more that's left in the dark, the greater the risk appears.

I think what you lay out could work.

The one caveat being: I believe it would be less risky for you, and give your company better chances at success in the long-run, if you start (pre-launch and early post launch) by focusing most of your attention/ money/ ads domestically (in your area and maybe India, as well), wherein, I'm assuming costs will be much lower compared to trying to reach a global market, at least, in terms of running radio and television ads.  This will allow you to experiment with different types of approaches at advertising (should we go late night, low cost, for many months or burn more for day-time television, running for a week?) without burning all of the money on, essentially, a hope and a prayer.

Which leads me to my next question(s):

If you don't mind sharing, what are your plans for advertising?  Is it going to be solely online ads?  Television, locally? Radio?  Billboards? Combination of all of the above?

I like the videos you run on youtube and think that they'd make good television ads for the US market, but I'm sure costs would be quite high to run on a popular television channel here in the US.

Also, do you plan to use a good percentage of the keyword earnings to pump this up before the launch, or do most of your plans involve post launch spending?

If your product is already great, then it might be a good idea to drive as many eyes at it as possible, ASAP.  But if it still has glitches, then it might be a better idea to treat the "first wave" of users as "beta testers", touching it up a bit, before really throwing money at it.

The thing i noticed is that everyone is just buying the English words.
From what i understand you can buy other languages for keywords that are taken.
So Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and so on.
If this is world wide not everyone is just going to use English.

There is no default search engine to searchtrade.com any developer can build a search engine and make it part of searchtrade. The reason is we believe there must be more choices for users. You can use Google, Bing, duckduckgo and other major search engines at searchtrade as well. They are all listed in a search app market.
That pretty much explains it. So, you are more like adwords, where keywords get sold. Now, adwords get used on Google and other website, whereas yours can be extended to any search engine allowing API.

But, why would advertisers advertise in a system, where they know that people search for money, not to find what they are searching for ?

Advertisers want to be wherever there is a social connect with their potential customers. The idea of redistributing wealth is great one in our belief. Advertisers can be provided with tools to filter people and behavior they want to target or avoid on the site.
What does redistribution of wealth has to do with this project ? I'm not saying there will be any advertiser if there is traffic. Even PTC sites get advertisers. But, how low will be their bidding rates ? Dont you think the traffic qulaity will be too low as the main motivation of SearchTrade users will be only to make money through searches. Will any of them ever be interested in the products advertisers want to sell them ?

What advantages do I have at buying an expensive keyword now if I will not get a share of the income my specific keyword generate via AD revenue.

This is from the FAQ section.

So does this mean the entire Pool benefits and each keyword holder gets equal share.

Or  if I  buy the word jujuburger. And this word never gets search or generates AD income. I will never see any return.

Please explain. Im ready to buy depending on Answer

Most the words that are being taken right now even the best ones that are highly searched you can still grab them in chinese, korea, japanese, spanish and more english users won't be the only users.

As for the returns not sure, if i was you id read back last 4 pages of replies i think they have addressed this before but i could be mistaken.
You will just have to wait for their reply.

Well since this is abnormal practice normally the only sites that provide the wallets are gambling sites.
Sites like cex.io, coinbase, or any other bitcoin company i don't see them asking to see all the funds.
so i find it weird how its okay for some services to have to post stuff and not others.
Also using the coinbase api its generates new addresses and its pure database numbers they said they would be making a page a few post back so not much we can do buy wait.
From what ive seen they have been updating the site a lot, which is something you like to see in things you put money into.

Some of the updates ive seen:
Https:// is now pushed by default.
A lot of ux/ui changes
Page changes everything is now just pure searchtrade.com no schdemo site thing anymore.
Its not shows there company register name.
A new search engine was added in.
paypal was added so you can do charge backs i believe if any issues should occur. -Id recommend reading the tos before following this advice.-


Here are some pics of the updates for those of you who are lazy:

Everything about this is great and professional

I hope we see a chrome add in appear that sits in the background of chrome or ie and does it's  thing.  Or searchtrade browser runs like all the other browsers with TABS.

Great project. They have more money to make with a full release then they will trying to fool people. We will find out in 2 months and im happy with my WORDS

Do some research on the team if you have doubts. I did

That is just an excuse. They are talking about how much they have raised from day 1, i.e. they are attracting investors by floating a number. But, whenever they are asked to show a signed message from that address holding the sum, they are backing out. Holding the sum in coinbase or other wallets are no problem. If those are under their control, they can be brought at one address, sign a message and then be dispersed again. Expenses can also be accounted for. But, floating an imaginary number time & again with no proof at all is definitely a big red flag.

This is a great reply to the fear festival a small minority are trying to create. The  Demo works and the mission plan and future innovative thinking is what is required for a Decentralized Bitcoin economy.

The group behind Searchtrade have pieced together a platform and search wealth sharing distribution model that I can't find anywhere else.

The knockers and finger pointers are found on every forum and this is to be expected. If holes are found crypto enthusiasts will always highlight them . Grab the bull by the horn patch them or take on board as a suggestion for further thinking.

I predict this to be a evolution in searching and if they get it right. There is alot of money to be made by alot of share holder's. Each word I buy i feel i own apart of its sharetrades future.

Lift up lift higher and dont look back.

Great project and I fully trust the team behind Searchtrade

Thanx Guys we just crossed $75k mark. Sold 748 Keywords already.
Can you sign from an address holding $75k worth of BTC?

they won't do that. that's the reason for neg trust rating...
Why wont they? I mean, if they can not do this, it is nothing but a false claim to attract investment.

Yes, you'd think that they'd want to be building up all the confidence in their site as they can.

This definitely throws up a red flag and is the sole reason why I decided to stop investing at the amount that I'm currently in.


Just because they've received that much doesn't mean it's all sitting there just to showcase, they have expenses also. Hosting, development, marketing, staff, etc.
That is just an excuse. They are talking about how much they have raised from day 1, i.e. they are attracting investors by floating a number. But, whenever they are asked to show a signed message from that address holding the sum, they are backing out. Holding the sum in coinbase or other wallets are no problem. If those are under their control, they can be brought at one address, sign a message and then be dispersed again. Expenses can also be accounted for. But, floating an imaginary number time & again with no proof at all is definitely a big red flag.

Hey,

Thank you for taking time out to study what we are doing. You and some others seem to keep raising the issue of signing wallet periodically again and again and your concern being if the funds exist for real or are we just putting out numbers as a marketing gimmick.

To start with let me assure you guys the investment that has gone into the project far exceeds funds we have collected so far. Me and my other co-founders have been working on this project since past 18 months. We began with three of us and are now employing 30 people which includes about 20 odd developers and another 10 people involved in various support jobs. We are paying Rent for two offices, Utilities and Salaries for these people since past 18 Months. Even if you consider India cheap we are running cost of 800$ per head all inclusive on top of that All founders draw no money from the business and put in 12 hours a day of work.

To you our current $80K odd pre-sale collection might seem like a lot of money and it does to me as well at a personal level but the expenses we are running far exceed the pre-sale collection.

Since beginning we have been very open about disclosing information about who we are and where we live. We have made information about our company public. I encourage all of you to go and do background checks on all of us.

At no point have we said that we are offering any fixed return on keyword investment. In fact we have been saying its a risky investment and only get involved if you have the appetite.

Now the stupid question that keeps pooping up sign a message I have my own take on this.

1. We sign the wallet some of you guys verify it and than claim we are legit in forum terminology.
(You guys say we are great and than other put in more money on your word than we run away with money just like Mt Gox, and GAW Miner you guys find a new topic to debate)

2. We don't sign the wallet build a great product that actually creates value for users and the business takes off and we ensure system works as we claimed it would.

The reason I don't sign the wallet is simple I personally cannot see any rational in the whole exercise one way or the other. Whether we sign it or we don't we are still in control and possession of the funds.  Free to do as we please.

My issue is with absurdness of this process. If we have bad intentions or want to wrong people we still can, We have made public who we are and where we work and to me that is a bigger proof of our intentions than this worthless activity.

It's a principal stand and you and others are free to give me as much negative karma on this forum as you wish. Not doing it.

Take care and have a good day
I agree with the stance searchtrade is taking. Unless they are acting like an escrow or holding the custody of customer bitcoin, there is no point in asking to sign the message. They are far behind breaking even and there is much for them to gain by delivering the product than running away. Do not think that every one is guilty unless proven innocent.

Post by: silentwitness on October 18, 2015, 08:24:46 PM
Guys am more focused on getting stuff done and actually building a great product.

I certainly hope that you are mostly focused on building a great product.  But one mustn't forget that every "on the fence" customer is a possible advertisement for your product.  Being as transparent about your product as possible builds confidence that it's a legit operation, a fundamental step towards developing a relationship of trust between the business and customer.

The customer is happy, he sees a product that he likes and is excited about, run by a group of people that he trusts, so he is less likely to feel hesitant to spread the word about it, and, most importantly, his genuine interest towards and enthusiasm about your product draws a lot of positive attention around it.

It's not the right perspective, as a start up business with a very small initial following, to act as if people are being too unreasonable in their questions regarding said transparency or taking the stance that they're "too lazy" to take the time to understand your product, when you yourself can admit that it's a revolutionary idea that's different from anything else out there.  

Why would you want to turn off people that are seriously considering investing in your product?  Not only is that counter-productive, but it can mean the difference between success and failure in the long run.

Customer is KING, especially when you're in the initial stages of trying to build awareness of your product.  Impressing people as they come in small numbers is the cheapest form of advertisement, because, like I said before, a happy customer is a point of spreading positive news about your product to other people.  It's also more powerful than running an ad on TV, played by a couple of paid actors, or having people read the CEO's positive words about his own product in some small market online blog.  People trust the words of their own family and friends over someone that they don't know, whom they realize can benefit from flat-out lying to you.

You should be after expanding PASSION for your product through the people that come to you,  if you're serious about being focused on long term success, not so much concerned about having a lot of people simply glance over yet another, of probably about 10,000 sales pitches they read, each promising their own rewards, in any given year.

Every moment builds Karma.  Don't think that you'll build trust in the future by making a good product now.  It doesn't work that way.  Build trust in the future by doing everything in your power, coming from a space of genuine passion, to build trust IN THE MOMENT and every future moment, while ALSO building a great product that will keep your level of passion high.  That's how you build positive momentum.  

Yes, the growth will be slow at first.  As an example, two happy customers each tell two other people, and only one of those four goes on to tell one other person, etc.  But, eventually, the right person will hear about it, a person who's very passionate by nature and is connected to many people who trust his/her opinion, and this is your "TIPPING POINT", your "LUCKY BREAK" - a growth of passionate people who use and spread their positive energy about your product (the most powerful form of advertisement) that is your karma for being open, fair, and patient with each customer in every moment.

Don't overlook the influence that each little event has on the future by focusing too much on the future.  Be in the reality that is NOW.

On an aside note:

I was looking over your site's FAQ and came across this:

"If user searches 1 word eg ‘bitcoin’ than payout is 100 Satoshi
If user searches 2 words eg ‘bitcoin mining’ payout is divided between two words and both earn 50 Satoshi each
So on so forth. ……"

There's a grammatical error in there.  It should read "If user searches 1 word eg 'bitcoin' THEN payout is 100 Satoshi..."

"then", not "than" (if, then...not if, than)

Great words from silentwitness. What he wrote is applicable to all businesses, Startups to Apple. Even when companies reach their pinnacle word of mouth is still GOLD advertising.

A classic example of word of mouth success is the Samsung Galaxy S2 which via word of mouth and a great product became a market rival to the iPhone and now the Galaxy range is market leader.

I am passionate about this product and also back the underdog. AMD , ATI rather than Intel and Nvidia . BUT we continually adjust and see what the competition is offering.

Even an untruthful rumor not managed properly can cause unwanted product harm and many companies focus many resources on Brand Image as ultimately this can be the difference between success and failure.

I have 12.2k twitter followers. Find more people like me = free advertising.

I can't say for the moment but you guys seems to make progress. The demo is working well.
I've invested into 1 keyword.
I'm considering writing an article about you.


Title: Re: SearchTrade Reinventing Search Engine Business with Bitcoin | Crowdsale On
Post by: silentwitness on October 20, 2015, 10:58:07 PM
I do like what you have running so far, and I like to see that you're putting energy into perfecting what you have there; however, I do believe that there are a few additions that you can make to your search engine/ interface to make the experience even more engaging and personable.  I've been thinking about what would make it more enjoyable for me over the past few days while I was using your demo...here's what I've come up with so far:

1.) I think it would be fun to have a "trending" tab that shows what's trending up in the last X days, weeks, months... showing all in one place what people are searching for most on searchtrade and what is gaining in popularity over time, with detailed stats, even graphing the number of searches for these phrases/ words on an hourly basis.  Something similar to "google trend" would be nice, but I think it could be made even better by giving the user power to "zoom in" on the graphs and see precise stats on a minute to minute basis and the option to compare against other search terms.

If this idea (your search engine) really takes off and grows to become something big in the internet world, I would imagine a trend feature like this would become invaluable to the people whom enter the searchtrade for the trade market aspect - a tool that allows you to quickly compare updated search stats, a way to do your homework before making an investment.

2.) It'd be nice to have the option to "streamline" the searchtrade search engine (page?) interface to our own preferences, making it possible to show only the tabs/ stats that we want to show on the screen, or even giving the option to "hide" it all in the background, making it like you're searching from the google search engine, itself, and perhaps allowing you to get the interface back by pressing the Esc button or clicking on a small tab on the top of the screen, etc.  

In order to get around the problem of people not knowing how many searches they've made or how many satoshis they've made by those searches, you can implement a clickable option to have a box quickly flash on the upper or lower corner of the screen after every search, showing how many searches are left for the day and how much has been earned on the day, or even an alarm that notifies the user after every x amount of searches and/or once all the (40) payable searches are used up.

3.)  Adding a youtube search box to the search-engine list.

I'm a big youtube user and there are millions more like me.  I probably make three times as many searches on youtube on any given day than I do on Bing or Google and all the other search engines combined, so I would profit from having this as an available search engine, as I'm sure other users would, too.

Your homepage looks pretty.  I really like the choice of colors, it catches your attention - good color balance too, IMO.  The beauty of it should persuade most newcomers to stick around long enough to get the gist of what your project is about.  After that, it's just up to their personal biases and level of flexibility to make a minor shift of habits, whether they look further into it or choose to give it a try.

I notice too that you added "searches funded" and "registered traders" to your pre-sale stats.  Those are good things to know.  Better that there are 690+ people out there with keywords than 3 people with 300+ words each.

Title: Re: SearchTrade Reinventing Search Engine Business with Bitcoin | Crowdsale On
Post by: silentwitness on November 02, 2015, 05:17:52 PM
A few more suggestions:

1.) Add a "community" tab that has a forum and a live chat feature, so that members have a place to discuss their ideas about SearchTrade and have their questions answered by other members regarding its use.  Something like this would allow members who're invested in keywords to strategize together how to widen product awareness, among other things, and it should also lessen the number of email inquiries that your company receives, as most of their questions will already be answered via community chat or forum.

2.) Place a good amount of your focus on optimizing speed for search results.  I noticed that your homepage is run on a blog template (wordpress?), which is fine for what you have there, but definitely isn't optimized for high traffic searching.  Obviously, you have to be smart about scaling in terms of how many servers you run on vs. how many users you have on average in order to avoid over-spending, but the bottom line is that users are going to be turned off if their searches take anything more than a few fractions of a second longer than they're used to seeing from search engines like Google or Bing.

Bells and whistles are the icing on the cake, but there's no cake at all if high traffic is going to bog your service down.

3.) It might not be the right timing just yet, but I think running youtube ads for your product on crypto-currency (specifically bitcoin) and stock market/ investment related videos would drive a lot of the right kind of traffic to your site.

It might be smart to experiment with having your 1+ min ads run (with the two men talking) for a while (maybe two weeks to a month) and then switching to a shorter ad that only runs for like 5 to 10 seconds that merely flashes something like "click here to find out how you can earn free bitcoins by using your favorite search engine", for the same amount of time that your ran the other ad(s), and then comparing the results, taking account of new traffic to your site during the running of those ads and the cost-effectiveness in those increases.

Beautiful billboard.

Times Square, New York, NY, next?  Just joking.  Would be cool if you ended up with a billboard there someday, though.  Probably means that you've already "made it" if you have the money to spend to beat out the competition for that space, which I like to think about.

Keep up the hard work, Vishal.  Persistence pays huge dividends.

One of the best ways to do brand awareness is to promote your brand to get the public to ask themselves "What?" of course you promote your brand without a product launch, you need to lead a path with readyness...

Just so that there is no confusion we have only paid for printing of the ad the space is available to us for free since it's owned by a friend of ours who loves the Idea and wanted to help and associate with searchtrade. We still cannot afford to spend big bucks on advertising but hope someday we can . Thanx for some great comments guys.

You're receiving a lot of advertising from bitcoin news outlets right? (Newsbtc, cointelegraph and perhaps more) That shows that you are actually spending money in advertising, the sums are in question but that's not really the problem. The problem is that you've still showcased nothing more than a tech demo (that hasn't changed much since day one). No proof of concept of how it's going to be profitable but you're spending crowdfund money on ads before there's even any actual proof of your supposed product being what it's supposed to be.

Is this right or is it an fix amount?

For example, can the owner of the keyword "and" earn as much bitcoins as the owner of the Keyword "shopping" ??

Apparently, 44 more days to go now...with no mention of it anywhere or explanation for why they postponed the launch.

Another red flag.

I don't know why they'd put up a billboard ad, which I assume has and will continue to bring new people to their site, giving them and all the previous registered users and keyword purchasers the impression that it will launch in X days, only to postpone it by 20+ days once that launch date approaches.
 
What can those extra 20 days give them that could possibly offset all the anger and frustration that essentially lying about the launch date will create for their users?

This is the stage where this company must build TRUST within its user base and the fence sitters out there.

I have a feeling that this move just lost them a lot of fence sitters and has diminished any trust that registered users might have felt towards this operation and its management.

This certainly appears "scammish" at this time.

Hey Guys,

We have delayed the launch of searchtrade by a month. There are many reasons for doing so. Let me give you update on what they are and our plan moving forward.

1. Every search at searchtrade creates 5 transaction records that we need to store for eternity to keep track of all disbursements. We have been running scaled tests and finding some errors in our system that need to be rectified. This is important since it is the backbone of the system. Our developers have been at its taking longer than expected since its a complex build with lots of checks.

2. We are building our own widgets that would get triggered based on relevant search queries such as currency conversion, unit conversion, time zone etc they too are in final phase of testing and our developers are asking for some more time to complete their tasks.

3. We are building a auto query analyzer which essentially learns relevance of each query and spits out data on top of the page along with search results. E.G if you searched for 'Barrak Obama' it would fetch information from Wiki but if you search 'london weather' it will display local weather report from london and fetch data from another source. This we hope can be launched along with the first release.

I understand there are lot of people worried about this change in plan but it is going to be worth your while.

Thank you   

Issues or not you gave a date and time and had us pay for keywords that were supposed to be used by the time given.
This is likely a cash grab to gain more funds whether its for further development or not. I have already informed coinbase of this scam and they should be taking action soon. And will be contacting Singaporean government with all documentation and screen shots to have you license revoked. 449+ btc and just trying to gain more funds, will be also posting on all the scam adviser sites i can to inform people of this site service.

Yeah...maybe...or maybe not.

Who's to say they won't postpone it another year after this month extension is up?

Then another decade after that year is over...then a century...millennium...

The fact of the matter is that there are people who've invested money in keywords that they were under the impression would have a chance to start generating some type of return by X date.  Approximate or not, they've missed the mark by at least 1 month and who knows if this thing's ever going to launch.

In the meantime, Joe and Sally Schmoe, who've both purchased 5 keywords for $500+ (USD), are growing a bit angrier and angrier the longer they have to wait for some kind of sign that a ROI is even possible.  They may begin to wonder whether they were duped by a scammer, if not after the first postponement, then certainly by the second or third.

And they certainly aren't going to go around to their family members and go screaming from mountain tops about how wonderful and lovely Searchtrade and its keyword trading system is when a year after purchasing their keywords, facing renewal fees for said keywords, the site still hasn't officially launched.

Do you get my drift?

Maybe I'm just being too pessimistic.  Maybe I've grown a bit too cynical over the years, after being victim a few too many times to the ugly side of the human psyche (anger, greed, envy, lust, etc.).  Perhaps.

Or perhaps someone, somewhere, is pulling off a half-assed con, utilizing the easiest payment system to scam a worldwide market, feeding off of the hopes and faith of ignorant folk spanning all corners of the globe.  Perhaps.

Or perhaps not.  

Who to trust?  Some dude that has a small infra-structure of photos out there on the inter-web that makes it appear like a certain company exists, which could have been thrown together in a couple of hours by a single person, perhaps planned out a year or two ago?  Yourself?  Some other dude on the comments section, who's just as anonymous as the other dude?

Let's all make common sense common, together.  Realize the great risk that comes with this "play".

Realize that transparency is a real issue here with Searchtrade.com.

Realize that, in less than 3 months:

1.)  ST changed their pre-sale "slabs", and pricing increments for those slabs, AFTER people started to buy keywords.
2.)  ST still hasn't made it clear how much it will cost to renew keywords and, going off of recent track record, they may decide on some ridiculous renewal fee that will completely negate the potential rewards of paying a high amount of money for keywords early in the sale process, looking forward to company growth and ROI potential.  They also haven't made it clear, as far as I'm concerned, from what date the countdown to renewal begins (when keyword is purchased? from the launch date for people who bought them pre-launch?)
3.) ST failed to deliver on a promise to provide signature proof that they were (are) in possession of the bitcoin funds that they claim to have accumulated.

...and there is probably more that I'm missing.

All that we have to go off of right now is this, more or less, anonymous person's words and actions.  Seeing that the actions aren't aligning with earlier words, there's a good reason why people are having a difficult time trusting that this is all legit.

Time reveals all.

Kill your ego Rotten Egg. Open your mind to possibilities, Been a long time since you have been calling us a scam thanks for the motivation.

Why is your login telling me that "there is no user registered with that email" when I know that I'm entering my email address correctly and I've logged on with it at least 5 separate times on your site without any issues?  I bought some keywords with that address, so this I take issue with this.  You said somewhere on your site not to worry about login details, that you're keeping them safe, or something along those lines...well, it appears that you aren't, since this tells me that you lost all my "user info" and proof that I paid for the words that I did (money that is washed down the drain for nothing as far as I'm concerned).

Hey guys just migrated code to live server. Over next few days we will be running some tests just to ensure everything is working fine. During this period existing users will not be able to access their accounts. Once we are happy with results we will make the system live. We are doing this as we believe better safe than sorry. Thank You for your participation. Looking forward to read your reviews.

Thanks and good luck

Hey guys sorry for the delay hope to open up system on monday. Just running through multiple tests and rectifying some bugs.

are you also going to process funds withdrawals? I sent you a pm but got no answer yet, some days ago (before the new site release) I ordered a withdrawal but it is still pending...did you guys also stop withdrawals with the launch of the new site or is it something else?

btw the new site and search engine look cool

Yes, Too many things going on simultaneously so we have put customer service on hold till release.

Put customer service on hold?

Man, you've got a lot to learn about business, my friend.  When people have money on the line, the last thing that they want to hear is "....well, we have it stored away currently in a safe place...just trust us...no, you can't have it back...no, it isn't doing anything for you sitting with us...but it might someday, when (if) we have things running smoothly..."; meanwhile, the people who bought keywords, whom had the impression, based on information coming directly from you and your site (countdown timer to launch), that it would launch over 40 days ago, are still sitting around, hoping that they haven't been duped, while looking at a site that appears from my end to be running less smoothly than it did 30 days ago.

Perhaps it angers you to hear these kinds of complaints, if indeed you're an honest person who's really trying to make this all work, but, I guess my point is, when you fail to meet deadlines and then give little in the way of commentary on updates after that failure, you'd better get used to it.  It's kind of the way that life works in these types of scenarios.

Honest or not, when you mess up with people's money on the line, you should expect some disappointment and anger to be expressed towards you and you must understand that they will only put up with so much before they decide to give up on it - and this means a failed project for you - so this is a big deal for everyone with money involved.  

You've got to understand how this can look from the investor's perspective.  If you want to win people over you can't be dithering with customer service and announcing changes (delays) after the fact.  You must be as transparent and accommodating to your customers as possible.  You should be warning us about delays and problems well before they lead to frustrated customers feeling the need to email you their concerns about you missing on release dates.

Where is your head in this?  Do you care at all about satisfying your current customers; the one's that have forked out well over 500 BTC to your project?  The way I see it, you owe us frequent updates, especially now that the original launch date was missed by over a month.  Weren't you saying earlier that you have something like 30+ employees working for you?  Are you telling me that you can't afford to have just one of them spend a little time answering emails and sending out updates on your own forum?  You tell me that you care so much about this project, but I don't see it.  All I see is a few empty words in a forum comment once a week or so.  I don't sense a passion here at all.  Maybe I'm wrong...hopefully I am, for the sake of keyword investors.

I have a stake in this too, you know.  I want you to treat customers with respect, because I know that it's the only way to win them over and have them become advertisements for your product, and I want this to be a success, because my money is on the line.

are you going to move to a cheaper keywords valuation? as far as I remember the 0.38 was super presale. how are you going to price free keywords after launch?

Slabs remain same as it would be unfair to others.

but that would mean you're overcharging low/less searched keywords by a marge of 1000%... not the best business model in my opinion.

I have seen loads of progress in the backend, Searchtrade have been slower with delivery but they have stated that clearly.
I can currently logon and see any my keywords etc, search does not work that well but the backend is coming-along well

Guys have made the System Live, Please use the site and share your suggestions with us. Looking forward to your analysis. Be warned this was phase one of our development next we will focus on better user experience and add more search apps that are being built in-house. Mobile app will take another 30 days.

Thanx

Hi thanks for the info, a bug;
- If you start on the mainpage, perform a search it works fine, then perform another search in the same screen (any keyword) and it gives this error below;

No matching results found!!!
Please check the spelling or try different keywords.

Issues noted down, will be fixing them soon. Keep it coming, News search will get better over time.

I made some searches earlier this morning (about 5, I think) and then checked my wallet to see if I earned anything for the searches and it showed up that I did, but then, just a few minutes ago, I logged back onto my account and it said that I still have 40 paid searches, so I checked my account to see if it still had my earlier searches logged and it didn't (it showed no paid searches).

I searched a few of my own keywords earlier and the earnings for those still show up in my wallet.

Just thought you should know this during beta phase, as this is something that will surely turn people away if it keeps happening.

Also, a suggestion: can you make it show how many times keywords have been searched within the wallet?

I'm asking 10 BTC for the word "song", for anyone else out there reading this that's interested in owning a word that will be a big earner if ST takes off in the future, btw.  I may decide to take this offer off of the table at any time, so don't hesitate if it feels right :)

Truthfully no online service shows funds as far as i know of only gambling sites do that. Also btc or not its a company which is legally registered you don't ask Microsoft where is proof of all your assets now do you cause im pretty sure they would tell you to fuck off in a very professional manner. I don't disagree with everything you have said but as it is they have launched thats all they promised was a launch an it has. I also noticed you have them marked as a risk with negative rep they did what they said they would do. An from what ive read all you do is really just complain on this forum, you sound like a pessimistic asshole too be honest.

yes they do its https://searchtrade.com/keywords/views/affiliate.php

We are working on duckduckgo code. They seem to have major restrictions applied. We are still in Beta phase and there are many search apps as well as UI fixes that we want to apply over next few months. Once we get through to that stage we have a huge marketing plan in place to propagate the use of service. Before we get there we want to ensure we have rectified most common user issues and added more value to search results. The reason for holding back is the cost of marketing which is high and we want to ensure when we do go into mass marketing we get maximum conversion and word of mouth.

Pending service releases under development

1. SearchTrade Wallet (Full service with instant withdrawal and address management) Separate standalone app
2. Multiple query based widgets e.g. Weather, Flight Timings, Popular people profiles, etc Some 20 of them
3. User referral program - You earn 5% from search earnings of your friends that signup using your code.
4. Search Apps -  Image search, Document search, Food recipe search and more
5. Content hosting - Video, Images, Blogs (Will appear in search results on ST as well as users can share on other platforms)

Most of this will be released over next 3 months


I have a small critique about the "keyword miner" page:

Under the heading "pool statistics", the e from "current price" as well as the e from "search trade" are entered underneath those words (you see "current pric" with an e underneath it and "search trad" with an e under it).  I don't know if this is something specific to my browser (firefox) or not.

Just thought you'd like to know.  It's only a small cosmetic thing, but these types of things can definitely detract from the sense of professionalism of a website.

Oh nice deposits work now, i guess we can buy people keywords now, also noticed a few other small updates, seems to be running a little smoother.
Anyone going to buy keywords from the people who got them earlier on? I odn't think you have to buy them flat out i think you can bid on them. Obviously they aint getting 30 btc on those keywords buy i think some of them are worth 1-10btc.

Post by: silentwitness on January 31, 2016, 03:39:21 AM
I think the profit line for most of us invested in keywords is going to be 100,000 registered users.

So far I've made 3.3 cents on my keywords since the beta launch (I believe it was 6 days ago), on pace to make about 4 cents by the 10,000th search, this with 1,287 users.  So, with 1,287 users, we're on pace for maybe 10,000 searches after 1 week, or 520,000 searches per year, which at current payout and user search rate, would give me about $2.08 (4 cents per week times 52 weeks per year).

Ten thousand users is about 7.77 times as much as ST currently has; thus, it would presumably make 7.77 times the returns on searches, or $16.16 per year.  At 100,000 users, revenues would jump up ten times more, putting me at about $161.60.  One million users would push the decimal over one more time, making it $1,616.00.  Ten million is where it starts to become really attractive - $16,160.00 per year.  One hundred million users is $161,600.00, etc., etc.

Since all of the keywords were sold above $90.00, if my memory serves me for what the bitcoin prices were for each of the price slabs, unless we all want to be waiting around for the rest of our lives to make back our original investments, if even (the case for having around 10,000 users, searching at the current rate), we should be shooting for the 100 thousand user mark, as a first major goal, which could have us reaching our investments after a decade.

Of course, we'd prefer to make it back much sooner than that, which is why we ultimately should shoot for 1 million plus users, which could be paying us back after 1 year at current payout and user rate.  But I think 100,000 users is a big hurdle to getting there, and a worthy milestone to shoot for as we try to grow this network.

We're currently only a little over 1 hundredth of the way there, but there has to be over 500 different people out there that hold keywords, probably closer to 1,000, that each have a vested interest in the success of their investments, which is already half of what it takes to bring more eyes to ST.  The other half is taking the energy to convert some of that interest into spreading the word about ST through word of mouth and social media.

That's where we, the ST keyword owners come in.  While ST's own advertisement efforts might eventually be successful at bringing in 100,000 + users, our own efforts to spread the word could cut the time that it takes to reach those numbers by half, or possibly even more.

I've already made some efforts to create an awareness about ST through simple youtube comments to bitcoin related videos and have mentioned it to some of my work buddies and a few family members and I plan to do more by perhaps creating a youtube video about ST that highlights its strengths and then using some SEO (search engine optimization) to drive some more eyes there.  The key is to create as big of a physical footprint (word of mouth) and cyber footprint (use of social media like facebook, twitter, and youtube) as possible, since the spread of awareness about ST is the only possible way for there to be a chance for more people to sign up (I know that this is an obvious statement, but it doesn't hurt to be reminded).

Worst of my lifetime?  LOL.  Exaggerate much?

I could have invested $10K in this (I haven't, but hypothetically could have) and this still wouldn't stand a chance at being the worst investment that I've made.  Not that it's any of your business, but going to college was by far the worst investment that I've made, 4 years gone for an education that I don't use or have much interest in, like losing $400K dollars if you ask me (most actual costs covered by a scholarship) - time is valuable.  I was stupid at the time...oh well, lesson learned.

The fact of the matter is that this is a relatively low risk play, with a potential high reward, albeit maybe not likely (but who can say for sure?).  I think it's safe to say that nobody is dropping 5% of their total assets into this.  Most are likely putting in less than half of 1%, so it's not like the risk is great to anybody, besides the company itself, of course.  Losing $90 isn't the end of the world you know?

But making 1,000% on your original investment is a big deal, even if you only have $90 invested, and it IS possible here if this thing evolves and draws in a sufficient amount of interest.  I think most of the investors here understand that if this is ever going to be paying us profits that it will be 5 or more years down the road.  It's likely going to take some time, with the help of company (paid) ads and organic (word of mouth) ads.

I agree but feel we should give time to them as they had just launched the system. i remember even GOOGLE was very bad when launched. even FACEBOOK was not the same what we are using today. Every great innovation require time and patience. i suggest as a community we shall support the system and appreciate once initiative.
practically how many great innovation we see in todays world....after going through the system - i felt this is the 1st time in the history somebody taking initiative to build a internet co-operative community by redistributing wealth back to users without just thinking about self earning.
moreover, they are slowly giving shape to something which never ever happened back in history.

also i feel if this systems works - than by default, single handedly they can support bitcoin utility and will create new internet economy. moreover its very safe way for new users to experience bitcoin and its utility without investing in bitcoins. I am sure there are many people in the world who have heard about bitcoins but feel unsafe to experiment with it. i feel SearchTrade opening new doors for 1st time users to understand how bitcoins n its wallet works and once they get confident its by default encouraging them to invest more in it. this way search trade creating new bitcoin users worldwide. Assume what is they are able to achieve 10-30 million users in near future....by default users are becoming bitcoin users contributing to bitcoin growth indirectly. i personally don't see it impossible.
if this really happen than surely they will be in the world news for money distribution business creating new opportunities.

till date i have seen people developing only wallets / exchanges / trading platforms / merchant services on bitcoin .....but no one ever thought of creating value and using bitcoin feature of micro-payment as mass distribution. but when someone is trying to do that, here we start pulling him with faults. (Typical human nature)...

its very easy to criticise something but instead very difficult to bring change. its a out-of-box thinking ! lets support and welcome the change.

I dont think that this site will run on a long, because their is so many bugs and the search engine they are using is also not their own and the profit ratio is also very less. very soon who ever have invested on keyword will come to know about it.

One Idea:

Search and earn with searchtrade without login, with a ref-id:

ref-id will be public and unique for all accounts. If I type it in the search field, the account with this ref-id will become the payment for searching.

gain:

1.) I can the public ref-id use, where I can not able (or will not) to log in.
2.) I can publish searching links with a ref-id - My account will earn, if someone click the link.
3.) It is simpler as to log in.

sample:

my search words ref0001234

result:
search engine will search "my search words", and the account with ref-id: ref0001234 will earn for searching.

I think, it should be simple to implement, and it seems to be very useful...

SearchTrade a adsense for Google search, every time you search on the site, the site earn money and when people buy ads there earn to, its pretty slow becures every time you search its need to ask google's api webserver to anwser.

the idea are fine, but i don't think its working before there are working more hard to fix bugs on the site, like you can search the same word over and over agin.

I made 22 cents (0.22 USD) on the first 100,000 searches and now 1 cent (0.01 USD) on the last 71,000.  Doesn't add up.  I should be getting more hits on my words with the growing number of users over the past week, but the rate has seemed to decline...hmm...something doesn't seem right about this picture.

It is correct, the payment per search is split between the searched keywords eg. 1 search word = full amount, 4 search words /4

I think the numbers are still to low to see the development of the single keywords. Even with 200.000 searches I have just around 30 searches for my words... if there are not 4.000 but 100.000 users and more....then there will be such a huge number of searches that luck will be eleminated... then we will see who choose his words wisely ;-)

i have got lucky with one of my keywords "satoshi" - 4343 searches.

'keyword market place' data is not 100% updated and seems to be no view of keyword stats, which assists when trying to sell a keyword (Improvement)

Can't say it work that great also would be nice if you click on the name 'Searchtrade' in the left upper corner you will go the the search page.

Just registered on your site.
The site's layout is nice. New innovation to search and earn Bitcoins.
The only problem is that after entering the keywords it takes time to load the page. Rest all is fine.  ;)

I was keeping an eye on this as I was initially interested in buying a keyword but I thought the price was too much at the time, hopefully the issues I am reading about can be ironed out and the keyword trading can take off.

Guys we are in optimizing the whole code to make site faster and also working on some new features. All of this will take time but we intent to keep improving with time. Keep saying we are in it for a long run. As far as trading goes we believe it will take off once we cross 100k user mark as at that point people will have better idea about what keywords to invest in or trade. We will start large scale marketing post code optimization approximately 30 to 45 days.

Agreed,

I remember when exchanges started in 2013 and 2014, they wouldn't work what so ever.
You put in a buy order, 4 days later it shows that you put in an order.
I think search trade is something very disruptive and can take over the web considering people like me have been searching for years now and someone else has been getting rich of them. Just think about how many searches each one of you have performed and what have you got to show for now.
Search trade is going to change all that for years to come. Even if they pay you 1 satoshi, Last time i checked something is always better than nothing.
I think we need to support these people, they have alot of funding and they will probably get more for the project.

"Patience is a Virtue"

Good luck

How do I find the lowest priced keywords up for re-sale.

I want to see the prices for ALL keywords and what price keyword owners are selling them for.

Also no one will pay thousands of dollars. If the words are limited to 40 searchers. Not much money to be made on this so far.

I think if we could purchase words for around  $5  we would see more trading for keywords between people.

I  am an initial investor BUT would vote to reduce the cost of keywords.

Because when I try your website first it's slower than Google.com second your website linked search results to Google.com

I think, This site is suitable for newbies who could earn instead of Faucets. It would be 2-in-1 for them as they would get the required search results along with some satoshis .

Why sank the search request.
Where is the error?

Im not a Robot should be removed.
All im doing is searching. I opened my adroid phone went to internet and searched a word. Clicked on don't want to get paid. Then it's asking me "im not a robot". Find the images that match.

So I stopped my search as im not bothered to answer the security questions.

I think if Google implemented this Robot check it would be the end of Google. Searchtrade should do the same. Just a suggestion

We do not control what users search for.


Ok is like that
But you don't interested in some bug reports or has somebody the same problem?
I think the most investors are want to know how this project growing, and if YOU don't know,
when, what and how many times a search is taken.
What should I think about your business.
One possible answer would be for example these are the search requests generally declined.

Anyway i will contact Mr. Gupta and ask him what he think about this.

Thank you for you help.

Ps. i write a mail about this request (327) on the 04.March and i don't got any answer until today 2 weeks later.

It only gets triggered under certain circumstances.

Is it because I  didn't use the searchtrade android app and used the inbuilt Internet Explorer.

Now I have found that once in a search for "www.searchtrade" each "www" and "searchtade" was sought as a separat keyword and paid.
That was so changed that "www.searchrade" is calculated as a single whole keyword.
Is that correct?
In any case, my income from my investing tion has changed considerably.
Please respond to my questions.

Targeting launch of new UI next week. Speed issues taken care of. Check https://www.searchtrade.com/staging  (https://www.searchtrade.com/staging) and provide us feedback.

Design looks fresh, but the website is quite buggy.
On my first search i saw to errors:
http://imgur.com/raCfGMq

Better have some tech guy look into that. Most users (like me) will avoid your site and never come back.

Even worse is that the search page is empty?

I have a few problems with site loading speed, but maybe if you could use cloudflare (if you aren't already) you could use it to speed your site up with their distributed servers.

Also, how about you sell maybe the top 2-3 spots for a certain keyword? You can have a monthly auction or something.

Thanx for your support and congratulations on your key word sale. We are still no where close to our own vision of searchtrade. With time we have realised it is not easy build quality software but on the positive side we have also learnt if you have a good idea and genuine intent things move eventually.

We are so overwhelmed by response we have received so far that our hunger to make searchtrade a success has only grown by leaps. We are going to make some mistakes on this journey and can only hope you guys will continue your support.

None of us on the team have worked on project of this scale before but are eager learners and hope what we lack in experience will be covered by our motivation to pull this through.

Thanx again


Thank you for your continous effort and innovation.

I am european but more than 20% of my portfolio is allocated in India for some reason, great country with outstanding growth, you guys really honor your country

Hello,
I can't send a support ticket and can not contact you via email.
How am I supposed to contact you?
My keyword was sold, I wanted to withdraw, but you cancelled the withdrawal and gave the keyword back to me and I wonder why...

I get a 403/404 error when accessing the site now.  Yet I can see it when using a proxy, what's going on?  IP ban?  I have no idea why I would be banned...

We have auto IP blockers that prevent access to site if it shows unusually high traffic originating from a particular IP. Part of our spam filter.  Your IP must have crossed a certain threshold. Please send in your IP to contact@searchtrade.com we can always manually review and unblock it. Thanx 

Yeah I made my request when you posted, STILL waiting on support to get back to me.  They said it would be within 3 days awhile ago so I guess the only thing I can do is wait...

Only IPs with excessive and unusual use get flagged. Your IP was blocked because of those reasons. We do manually check data on blocked IP on request and than reconsider our decision if we feel user has been genuine. If we find 50 accounts using same IP to login and make searches on a fixed cycle than it is not fair use of service.

I don't know how it was excessive, I was just doing my 40 max searches everyday with just the 1 account.  Either way, they finally got back to me today and I can use my account again.  Thanks for the info.

Hey searchtrade. I can't seem to report bugs via the interface on the site. So that's one issue.

The second is that I keep getting logged out. It really kills the use case if I have to re-login every couple of hours to do a search. I assume that's to keep the user wallet safe (which is reasonable). Is it possible to have either a second password for the wallet or require re-authentication with any wallet actions and allow a "keep me logged in" option for logging in? I'm trying to test drive search trade as my regular search engine but this issue is slowing me down considerably.

OMG! This SCAM is still alive?

Kill your ego Rotten Egg. Open your mind to possibilities, Been a long time since you have been calling us a scam thanks for the motivation.
Yah. Motivation to scam more people using Google Adsense search and selling keywords by telling stories. The day Adsense ban you for incentivizing people to search in your search box, the day your scam will fall apart. In the mean time, you'll rip off innocent investors from their bitcoins and unsuspecting advertisers from their USD. After that, you'll rap up your business in Singapore and go back to India.

Just wait for some Google advertiser to report you at Google Adwords.

Do not invest your money in keywords here till they start advertising.


I'm going to lay this out in terms everyone can understand. Search trade is screwing us all.Why would i say that? Well they get half of all btc for keyword's purchased and now they are getting half of keyword searches. They're pulling half of each search so it says they have paid out over 3 Bitcoins nope -1 part go's to Searcher, 1 to keyword owner. 1 go's to searchtrade and 1 go's to app owner who is also search trade-.It seems they're postponing the advertising so they can gain more users and get more keywords sold, you would think if they want more users and keyword owners they would do more to get more people in.Nope not the case did you know after 1 year of renting a keyword every person has to pay a dollar to renew that currently added with the half the keyword searches go's to them allow them to earn bank off us.

  The site is clearly ready to go and they're has been very little trades of keywords like 4 an one user said his trade was canceled. We early keyword buyers have waited most of us joined around September, October, November. They completely stopped advertising in December saying they needed to get the site ready and said they would continue advertising once the site was out of beta. Well its no longer in beta an hasn't been for months so where is the advertising well from what they say they got more things to add. That's not our problem we bought keywords to make profit and the only ones who are clearly making profit are you and your friends.


3months:
We are working on duckduckgo code. They seem to have major restrictions applied. We are still in Beta phase and there are many search apps as well as UI fixes that we want to apply over next few months. Once we get through to that stage we have a huge marketing plan in place to propagate the use of service. Before we get there we want to ensure we have rectified most common user issues and added more value to search results. The reason for holding back is the cost of marketing which is high and we want to ensure when we do go into mass marketing we get maximum conversion and word of mouth.

Pending service releases under development

1. SearchTrade Wallet (Full service with instant withdrawal and address management) Separate standalone app
2. Multiple query based widgets e.g. Weather, Flight Timings, Popular people profiles, etc Some 20 of them
3. User referral program - You earn 5% from search earnings of your friends that signup using your code.
4. Search Apps -  Image search, Document search, Food recipe search and more
5. Content hosting - Video, Images, Blogs (Will appear in search results on ST as well as users can share on other platforms)

Most of this will be released over next 3 months


1-1half months
Guys we are in optimizing the whole code to make site faster and also working on some new features. All of this will take time but we intent to keep improving with time. Keep saying we are in it for a long run. As far as trading goes we believe it will take off once we cross 100k user mark as at that point people will have better idea about what keywords to invest in or trade. We will start large scale marketing post code optimization approximately 30 to 45 days.

Now its 3 more months:

Thanx Meyer Just getting into the groove long way to go still. We need system to get to a million signups and achieve 15% daily active users from there on to generate sustainable ad revenue to feed the system. So far we are happy with how things are going. Still no major marketing push on our part. Hope to get there post three months once we launch some services under development.


See the pattern they have no plan an its clear they know little to nothing about marketing. You can look all through the forum an see you know little to nothing about business but seem really good at taking money.
If this isn't a scam they are just really incompetent, smart enough to make something but completely stops advertising, from what i can tell you guys spent very little money on advertising on you got over a few hundred thousand dollars. The wage of hiring people where you guys are from at most cost you 4 Bitcoin a month for 50-100 people, so something is up here something shady, the fact your getting 2/3rd's of all money that's put into the site even though it was supposed to be only half for pre-sale. Its no longer pre-sale and its no longer beta. So shouldn't all funds be going to the main pot an not into you guys?


My personal opinion an you can read through the thread and check google they have basically done nothing but set up a very insecure site that's full of exploits.
Do not buy any keywords from this service until they start advertising other wise you will be stuck for months no able to get your funds back like is pre-sale buyers.
About 99% of the keyword owners have only earned a few cents you can check highest rated keywords. 0.001 when you put in over 10btc for keywords and its closing in on a year is bullshit.
If they arent going to advertise this service its a waste of your time, nothing more nothing less.

Not going to pay them for this, if they were ethical and good would have paid them for penetration testing legitimately.

There is nothing that i haven't stated that isn't fact, an i'm about to contact online news sites an report on this sites shady practices.

Well yes it was, but the support told me the reason and it's obviously true, as the keyword was sold instantly after I put it up to sell - a bug.

Furthermore, the support asked me to rate them - which scam ever tried to enhance its support? :D

I trust searchtrade and am curious for its future :)
