Hello

[silentwitness]

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.

Does one make any commission for having someone enter the site through their referral url?

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.

Can someone explain what the relation with existing search engines like google will be. And how this works?
Both as a user that wants to search something as well from the perspective of the advertiser.

And which blockchain is used?

Try the demo.....also it's not only Google search. Works with the other search engines as well. Also the FAQ covers alot of yours and my questions.

The search trade team may want to Answer more on this question for you. But most is in FAQ

We crossed 1000 keyword sales. Thank you all for your support.

Fitting that the last two words are "orgasm" and "beach".

Nothing beats an orgasm on the beach to celebrate such a milestone!

But simply its an Investment method too buy keywords.. right? If i get it wrong please let me know. I find its a great idea, but how should the people use the search engine? By another Toolbar installer maybe

cause in theory, you earn money for searching. and keyword owners earn money on your searching too, so they would naturally advertise this site.

let me know if you have any tools to integrate in websites not apps.

Our first Billboard put up in hyderabad

Well nowadays companies almost have the product sold before actually coming out to the market so I don't know why it doest make sense to you

Really nice project looking forward launch!

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.

no, nowadays companies still don't sell a demo. and they most likely won't pay for advertisement without a chance to make money back.

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...

If you are in business then you understand the term "Offsets" this is part of the offsets budget.

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.

Hello,


one question (sorry for my english, i'm german):

I thaught, that the keyword owner gets an quarter of the profit from the search.

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" ??
