Bitcoin Forum

They launched today an people are already placing their keywords at such a high price.
Keywords are already even getting bids, i seen porn, gym an blockchain for sale.
Now that its finally launched hat do you guys think of it was it worth all the money we put in it?

   
Searchtrade.com will not load for me  ???

Now that it launched I want to figure out how to make some extra BTC by using it for my searches..

edit: k it loaded on my 5th or so attempt

I'd say that the launch was distasteful.

I tried it just now, the website is working. They pay only 100 satoshis for your searches, there is a maximum of 40 paid searches (i suppose that maximum is daily). I don't know if it pays more on other countries.

I think that resets a few times a day.

100 satoshis per search is very discouraging, is there no other way to earn more satoshis from this website apart from searching?

It's like faucet, but the features is unique. The reward is less than faucet. Is not worth if the earning is for search only.

its like 10ksats a day on searcing an if you own keywords its even more.

It would be mostly worth for those who buy popular keywords first as in comparison to those who will try to buy keywords too late in which they will most likely end up with non popular ones therefor they wouldn't be making any significant money. Hope it wouldn't turn to be a scam in the end since many have invested so far ever since the trial phase.

We are adding refer a friend feature soon that will allow you to earn 5% of their search income every time they make a search. You will be able to track your referal income in dashboard.

Some users are experiencing cache related issues from previous version.

We will keep improving the product and user experience in coming days, cannot achieve the world overnight and feedback we receive does help a lot.

You are allowed 40 searches per day 20 per hour max. System resets every 24 hours at midnight GMT

Value of keywords is directly proportionate to how much they earn as the number of users grow and start searching we will discover which keywords a re really valuable for sure. As we now go into app development phase kind and types of app might also determine the usage of keywords. E.g. One of the apps we are working on is food recipe search if people find that interesting certain food related words might get higher searches.

Still only 1162 users and we have not even began are scaled marketing campaign yet, wait for a while before you draw definitive conclusions.     

its a faucet but not a huge search engine. why would users use searchtrade to search for what they are looking for? 
maybe a cpm or ppc features would be an option for you to compete the bitcoin adnetworks. has any advertiser bought a keyword there?

We are adding more apps in coming days, give it some time you will find the service improving drastically in future. We have just began. Keep saying not even through 5% of our long term plan in terms of development and overall product design.

What kind of apps ?
Like android based game where you can earn satoshi from playing there ?
try to run a signature campaign here if your traffic is lower than expected as it can bring you a pretty good traffic :P
Also, Do you have a chance to increase the pay rates in the future ?
Maybe 500 satoshi for each search, as 100 satoshi is discouraging people from doing it :(

500 would indeed be very fair. I've registered hours ago and have tried searching as well. it seem quite an innovative idea.
I hope to see more of the features later.

awesome idea hope it will work well. better search for a small earning than for nothing ;)

I thought there would be a message send before the release of his new service. In former topic I asked for something and the OP should let people notice about there release. I'll take a dealer look into it and will post mine thinking about it.

Yeah true.It's always good to see newcomers.
Altough the idea is not 100% unique, i hope more and more entrepeneurs will do things like this.

Can be prevented easily by simply limit the IP address to a search every 2 minutes
Or add captcha for every search query ;)

Could you see yourself ever using google again if they implemented a one search per two minute limit? That'd basically kill searchtrade.com in one fell swoop.

Even 500 is not exactly worth most people's time.

Agree, but i think most people here is using the search function solely for the satoshis they earned, not really searching on the engine
Not trying to be offensive here, but why choose this if you got a google search engine ;)
At least the bot can be minimalized by using captcha security for every search query if OP don't want to put IP limit

Well atleast they got deposits working now we can buy other peoples keywords so that a plus.

We have bot detection in place already and it does not stop you from making searches just blocks payouts. I agree most people at this point only searching to make bitcoin but we are in process of adding more value add services for users. Google has taken 18 years to get where it is give us some time to build the service into greater value proposition for users. Thanx for your interest looking forward to more analysis from your end. Cheers

Payout is based on advertising income math as we want to keep the pool profitable at all times. That said what is more important is number of searches and users go up on the network. Achieving scale is crucial in long run for success of the Idea. Cheers

Yes captchas and a search limit would make the site too annoying if you really want to use the search engine but for example they can pay you only for one seach per minute or something.
I have set this site as my default search site now and I only use it if i have to search something.

There have to be improved a lot. I expect they will keep improving the search engine in a frequent basis. It will be hard with big search engines already available.

if you own a keyword does it mean your site will be on top of that searches or its your only site that will be prompt on the searches? why do captcha is needed for this by the way?

I was suggesting that searchtrade should use captcha to prevent bots spamming the site just to get money ;)
But it seems that anti bot protection is already in place and everything is good :)

Keyword ownership has nothing to do with site ranking or result placements.

This is very profitable if you are an investors,you can search for the most searchable keywords on your adwords account and buy that keyword here on searchtrade,if this is a long term project then owning 10 top keywords will be huge and profitable ,very innovative program indeed..

Is there an option or a widget to use searchtrade whenever I search something online? I do not feel navigating to the website whenever I need something. Is there an default option?
