AskPoodle.com calls itself a "search engine", but is really a Pay-Per-Call and Pay-Per-Chat Site

 

Social Activism Meets the Bottom Line: Innovative Search Engine, AskPoodle.com, Hopes to Show Why Local Human Sales Agents Plus Paid Search Advertising Now Equals Unbeatable ROI

Search engine innovator, AskPoodle.com, is sending advertisers and investors a wake-up call. AskPoodle.com makes a ripple in search engine advertising ROI and an outsourcing-aware public by introducing a locally—focused set of services for online advertisers, such as PayPerCall and “PayPerChat.” The positive impact on local economies coupled with higher ROI could start a trend for the grass roots and Wall Street investors alike.

Newark, NJ (PRWEB) November 30, 2005 -- Search engine innovator, AskPoodle.com, is sending advertisers and investors a wake-up call. AskPoodle.com makes a ripple in search engine advertising ROI and an outsourcing-aware public by introducing a locally—focused set of services for online advertisers, such as PayPerCall and “PayPerChat.” The positive impact on local economies coupled with higher ROI could start a trend.

Ubiquitous outcries from CNN’s Lou Dobbs and others have frequently resounded that local economies suffer dramatically in the short term when sales jobs are shipped overseas to countries like India. Security issues have also long been cited by many experts as another key problem. Journals such as the Business Week, August 16, 2004 article titled “Outsourcing: Fortress  india” (http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_33/b3896073.htm) have related concerns from experts that sensitive corporate, government and personal information often enters a regulation-free zone when it is outsourced to most overseas companies operating in countries without even the currently lax level of US standards on privacy in place.

AskPoodle.com’s founder, Luis Pereira, is asserting a revolutionary holistic solution that could feasibly become a new trend in search engine advertising. This new model would create a balancing act by encouraging more US companies to hire locally for their PayPerCall sales leads, and by encouraging more consumers to buy locally in both PayPerCall and PayPerChat sales. “The nature of PayPerCall is to support local sales agents and local sales, a win-win for employment and municipal tax bases,” says Pereira. Another boon to local-based PayPerCall sales is that regional flavor, dialect, and conventional ways of communicating are easier for a native to understand and appreciate than for a non-native. Still another key issue is also the need to demonstrate the fact that cheap labor needn’t so consistently come from overseas to service a community in Appalachia or small town America, when there are many willing to take sales agent jobs right in our own backyards. Much of the time these sales jobs can supplement a household income that is at or below the national poverty line.

On the brass tax end, many may ask “what makes a poodle an expert on car engines?” A locally focused, human-administered search feature called “PayPerChat”, quite possibly. What’s more, the Poodle (www.AskPoodle.com) is in your general neighborhood, is familiar with your regional dialect and may even have been to the very antique shop or auto garage you are looking for. AskPoodle.com’s most intriguing innovation, “PayPerChat,” will allow PC-wizards to wield their powers as usual, but with virtual, instantaneous, real-time answers. When the call is successful in landing a sale, the sale is recorded along with any that weren’t successful. That spells the return of authentic ROI measurement, and it has many online advertisers whetting their appetite again for online advertising, and looking askance at PayPerClick.

Innovation has been often cited by economists as the ultimate antidote to outsourcing woes in the US, even as local economies do a nosedive. Luis Pereira, Search Engine Advertising innovator AskPoodle.com’s wizard behind the red curtain, says that PayPerCall has already begun to show that a call is worth a thousand text ads. “How much more likely is the user to initiate a chat session than a phone call?” says Pereira, “…Probably a lot more likely.” Many who use computers prefer virtual interactions to “live” ones with voice due to the informal nature of internet use, yet also prefer human-tailored service. AskPoodle.com’s new concept, PayPerChat, allows a feeling of security while pajama-wearing homebodies or busy non-committal executives inquire on services, materials, investments or products. The range of possible uses is as endless as the current sea of chat rooms, only in these chat rooms people have a motivation to come and spend money.

“Take the PayPerChat model and multiply it by thousands, hundreds of thousands of customers engaged in local chat sessions with buyers in their own backyard, and you have the other half of what is potentially a revolutionary new way of doing business online. It is the human and local elements behind the two main vehicles of AskPoodle.com that stand to revolutionize the way we use the internet, by making the local shopping experience the first option again. If the labor is at least coming from our own local communities must of the time (as in PayPerCall, for instance), it is going to change the face of America, not just the face of how we advertise goods and services online,” says Pereira. “We need to solve two problems, in reality, to even solve one of them. This is how we envision the start of a more balanced trend that benefits everyone in the US, not just corporations.” This is good for everyone. I think if we succeed, America will benefit also.

AskPoodle.com appears to be the first search engine, and arguably the first for-profit company, to formulate this as an issue of their own foremost concern. '“Made in America” may not always be possible, but “Sold by America” may just be.

Pereira says that Ask Poodle, Inc. is currently inviting queries from the media, investors and motivated activist groups.

Entrepreneur Launches Web's First Tag Directory to Raise Money for His Wedding

 

Entrepreneur Launches Web's First Tag Directory to Raise Money for His Wedding

A 37-year-old Canadian entrepreneur wants to pay for his wedding - and walk away debt-free - by selling listings on his del.icio.us account for $20 per listing.

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) November 28, 2005 -- A Canadian entrepreneur wants to raise funds for his wedding by listing websites on his del.icio.us account for $20 per listing. Patrick Ryan, 37, and his fiancée have been dating for 5 years; he hopes that TagDirectory.net will attract advertisers. Advertisers will be able to list their website under as many categories (tags) as they want.

Patrick Ryan, from Toronto, Canada, came up with the tagdirectory.net concept after thinking of ways to walk away from his wedding debt-free. In May of 2005 over the Victoria Day weekend, Ryan surprised his fiancée by proposing to her in New York City's Central Park. The couple then set the date, October 12, 2006 and decided on a destination wedding. When the couple realized the number of invites to be sent out (each comes from a large family and over 200 relatives must be invited to the wedding), they realized that the wedding was going to cost more than they had originally expected. With all of the up-front costs the majority of the funds are needed immediately.

When asked why he is taking this innovative approach to his wedding finances, Ryan said that he does not want money to stand in the way of he and his fiancée's future happiness. "I've heard that for most couples, money is the biggest cause of problems. I want Keri and I to have a very happy marriage. I'd want to be debt-free after the wedding."

Websites such as Google, Amazon, IMDB, 43 Things, Flickr and of course del.icio.us are all employing the use of tagging as a way of organizing their data. Any advertiser can list their website using the new categorizing method of tagging. Tagging allows for a website to be classified under multiple sections. In current directory structures, an advertiser can only be listed under one section.

One of the website's advertisers, Scott Weisbrod, commented, "A Tag Directory is an innovative approach to advertising that provides businesses with an opportunity to promote their services or products to a captive and engaged audience."

"I think this will appeal to anybody with a website," Ryan commented. "The cost is reasonable for all advertisers. Every advertiser needs to drive traffic to their website. Tagging allows advertisers to list their website under multiple categories (tags) for the price of one listing."

Ryan believes that the tags will offer very good value since the website will be kept online for at least 10 years, although the aim is to have it up for as long as possible. "It will be kept as an archive for all to refer back to later. Tagging is something that will shape the way people interact with the Internet. The goal is for the website to become a foot note on Wikipedia (the online encyclopedia)."

Asked how much he needs for the wedding, Ryan said, "I estimate about $150 K; however, you never know. The wedding just keeps getting more expensive. As soon as you approach a retailer and you tell them you are getting married, the price of goods goes up five times." Ryan said that if he ends up with more money then he would help out those closest to him. Since he is an Internet entrepreneur he has some solid concepts that he would invest in.

[ Editor's comment: Wow, $20 for a link on the home page! That certainly is resonable. Well, I guess it's not that great since the home page has a Google PageRank of zero. Also, the links go to del.icio.us, so I don't see what the value of THAT is...? Why am I reminded of those stupid million-pixel ad sites? (hris ]

Network Solutions: Still the Domain Price Leader

I guess it's just like those gas stations that sell petrol at a price that is above most of the other stations. The higher cost makes some people think that their more expensive gas must be "better" in some way, otherwise they would not charge more, right?

 

So it is too with domain names. I just happened to be on the Network Solutions (Didn't they change to Verisign at some point...?) site and thought I would check their prices, expecting them to be the same old $30 a year that they used to be. At first I almost went into shock! It said they were only charging $8.95 a year!!!    Then I realized that it said that price was " 1 Year w/ Monthly Hosting". They actually give you the domain for free if you pay for a year of hosting. But if you just want a domain name for a year it's $34.99! Ouch, yup they're still at it.

 

Ok, I do see that there is a price break if you register for more than one year at a time, but why put the pressure on people to register for multiple years? Most other registrars don't do that.

 

So what's the difference between a NSI domain and a GoDaddy or other registrar's domain name? You got it, about $26! They are even charging $34.99 for .info domains, which can generally be had for a huge discount for the first year. Check out www.domainsite.com, my new favorite registrar as an example.

 

NSI also offers something I have not seen, the ability to register a domain for 100 years at only, ONLY $9.99 a year!. What a bargain! An what are the chances that we will have domain names, or have to pay for them in 100 years? I'd say it's pretty slim. Given that the profit on domain names is so huge, I don't expect them to get all that expensive in the future. Thank God, we were able to give NSI some competition. Can you imagine what domains would cost if they were the only provider...!?!?

Domain Name Sale Offers Chance in Guinness Book of World Records

 

Domain Name Sale Offers Chance in Guinness Book of World Records

Boston, MA (PRWEB) November 15, 2005 -- A www.TheRecordBreakingDomain.com [domain name] buyer has the opportunity to make headlines across the globe and secure a potential spot in the world’s all-time best selling book, the Guinness Book of World Records.

TheRecordBreakingDomain.com is selling its domain name for $7,500,001, a www.TheRecordBreakingDomain.com [new world record]. The current record-holder, business.com, has received a staggering amount of free publicity and continues to get exposure simply because it holds the world-record. The media hype created from the sale could well be worth the millions paid for it.

A Purdue University study found that adopting domain names increases the stock price of firms. “This dot-com effect produces cumulative abnormal returns … of 125 percent,” the study reported.

One of the reasons for the value of domain names is that even without advertising or marketing, they attract visitors. Furthermore, they are extremely easy for potential customers to remember, increasing the probability that they become repeat customers or regular visitors.

One of the most basic ways to appear more professional online and to establish trust is to purchase a domain name. This produces a website’s own online brand and can create credibility and the right image for the company.

By attaining the record in the Guinness Book of World Records, TheRecordBreakingDomain.com will become one of the most recognized and easily-remembered names on the Internet.

“The fact of the matter is big ideas with self-fulfilling publicity generate a lot of traffic on the internet,” said Andres Kello, owner of TheRecordBreakingDomain.com. “There is no ad catchier than a record-breaking one.”

About TheRecordBreakingDomain.com (www.TheRecordBreakingDomain.com)
TheRecordBreakingDomain.com is a site aimed at breaking a world record. Andres Kello, a 25-year-old entrepreneur, is also offering a massive $2 million giveaway to get people from all walks of life and across the globe to support the record attempt and give the TheRecordBreakingDomain.com the traffic and publicity it needs to attract an interested buyer who can eventually break the Guinness Book of World Records record for www.TheRecordBreakingDomain.com [most expensive domain name].

[Editor comments: Clever, but stupid. It would make more sense to over-pay for a better domain name that is shorter and easier to remember than it would be to pay that much simply for a domain that describes itself. Was RecordBreakingDomain.com taken? Wouldn't that cause confusion? How about 7andahalfmillforthisdomainname.com? Or DidIReallyPayThatMuch4thisdomainname.com? Or maybe mostcostlydomain.com? Or even Biggestwasteofmoneydomain.com?  -(hris ]

Check Your Phone Bill for Fake Charges from OAN and Nationwide Connections

Check Your Phone Bill for Fake Charges from OAN and Nationwide Connections, Inc.

 

OAN, Billview.com, Billingconcepts.com, Nationwide Connections, inc., oanweb.com, Qwest are all involved, but make it very hard to trace back to the source of the bogus phone bill charges

 

In looking over my phone bill this month I discover a charge for $6.25. Now, you would think I would remember a collect a call from Spearfish, SD from last month, right? Well it's a bogus charge and I also discovered we had one on our bill from last February that was supposed to have been made in December 2004. That one was from Michigan and also for $6.25.

 

The numbers they provide in the bills will take you to Nationwide Connections whose supposedly bill on behalf of OAN, whatever those letters mean. All the numbers they give you at Nationwide Connections for OAN just take you back to Nationwide Connections. OAN really does not want to be contacted by you...!

 

The good thing is that Nationwide Connections readily gives you credit or in the case of my old charge says they will send a voucher that can be used against our phone bill for credit. We'll see if we really get one.

 

The message here is to check your phone bill every month and question any funny-looking charges.

 

Do some searches in Google for oan scam and billview scan and you will find it ain't just me.

 

Here's one blog entry that I found that confirms what I've seen:

Brand Name Marketing: 'The Baddest Dude' Says Skip the Expensive Advertisng -- Just Buy Your Way to the Top

 

Brand Name Marketing: 'The Baddest Dude' Says Skip the Expensive Advertisng -- Just Buy Your Way to the Top

(PRWEB) November 9, 2005 -- Brand Name Marketing: A ‘must have’ component in all marketing campaigns. Companies patent, trademark and monitor the use of their valuable “moniker.” The brand name becomes valuable after millions of dollars have been spent associating the name with a product.

Examples are seen everywhere- ‘Pepsi; soft drink, ‘Target;’ discount department store; ‘Wal-Mart;” an everything discount store. This automatic association is not automatic- it is costly.
That is why many are welcoming the stategy created around the media blitz for valuable domain name “TheBaddestDude.” The offering triggers the question: “Can You skip the marketing if you just buy the right name to begin with?.

Now that even the smallest business can operate on the internet in big budget numbers, an the effective domain name is worth its weight in gold and even harder to get. Tab Olatunji, Principal member of Time Map, Inc. which currently owns the rights to domain name "TheBaddestDude.com." comments, ”The possibilities of building a company around a name like this are endless and only limited by the imagination. Most guys think they are or at least want to be ‘the Baddest Dude’ in some way on some level… so this just lends itself to a dynamite marketing strategy.”

“A solid name is always followed with a catchy logo and ‘TheBaddestDude.com’ has both built in, “ said marketing professional Harry Goodliffe of Liberty Newspaper Groups. He adds, "A sharp company could really run with this and develop their own unique product line around the name itself. Everyone knows what “Thebaddestdude.com represents…but what does it look like?”

Olatunji added, “It is critical to have some fundamental understanding about the male ego or male psyche and the "Driving Force" behind it in order to see the amazing lucrative potential in owning this domain name. A company could use this in-house or broker this as an outside deal, for merchandising in almost any entertainment venue."

Bottom line, the media buzz has always acknowledged it is all in the name... and who will reign “The Baddest Dude” remains to be seen. For more information contact:

 The Asking Price is only $77,000 USD or Best Offer.

If you have a better idea, submit it and let's negotiate.

Please submit your bid by email or phone. (All bids will be given response in a timely manner).

Did-it Search Marketing Integration of Strategy, Analytics and Technology

 

Did-it Search Marketing Inaugurates New Search Methodology and Goes Full-Service

Rockville Center, NY (PRWEB) November 8, 2005 -— Top-rated Search firm http://www.did-it.com [Did-it Search Marketing] has inaugurated its new Search methodology, S.A.T. Search—the integration of Strategy, Analytics and Technology in one search marketing firm. At the same time, it has transitioned to become a full-service search marketing agency.

Explains Did-it CEO Bill Wise, “In search, like in most highly complex fields, you need the best plan of attack, the best understanding of your situation, the best tools—and one place to handle it all. That’s true in medicine, that’s true in physics, and it’s equally true in SEM (Search Engine Marketing). That attitude is the basis of S.A.T. Search, and the reason we decided to transition to full service. It’s about bringing best-of breed SEM strategy, analytics, and technology together under one roof.”

The S.A.T. Search methodology, adds Wise, is particularly vital in fields with complex SEM needs, such as finance. Online trading firm E*TRADE FINANCIAL recently signed on with Did-it in October 2005.

“E*TRADE's marketing model is based on a test-and-learn approach, which provides the Company with innovative ways to reach its target, value-driven customer,” says Nicholas Utton, chief marketing officer of E*TRADE FINANCIAL. “E*TRADE FINANCIAL is continuously seeking new forms of marketing technology to reach our target audience with communications that remain smart, interruptive and powerful.”

Adds http://www.sempo.org [SEMPO] Chairperson and Did-it Executive Chairman Kevin Lee, “We are honored E*TRADE FINANCIAL has selected Did-it and look forward to driving outstanding results. Our ability to consistently integrate the most creative Strategy, sophisticated Analytics, and cutting edge Technology under one roof is unique to our industry. Being selected by a market leader like E*TRADE FINANCIAL is a validation of our approach.”

The transition to full-service has created some positioning conflicts, leading Did-it to largely phase out the backend SEM solutions it has provided, until now, for other full-service firms. Did-it is discontinuing most of its backend relationship with Digitas, for example, a move which the two firms agreed to mutually.

Even with the sharp lessening of the relationship, Did-it will continue to work with Digitas on select strategic accounts, such as Cingular Wireless. At the same time, some Digitas/ Did-it clients have moved to Did-it full service. Dun & Bradstreet, for example, became a Did-it full-service client earlier in the year.

“Digitas is a highly valued client,” Wise says. “Loyalty to our clients, regardless of agency status, is our top priority—and will always continue to be.”

About Did-It Search Marketing
http://www.did-it.com [Did-it Search Marketing], a recognized leader in the Search since 1996, drives sales/profit growth, market share and return on marketing investment for over 200 clients including E*TRADE FINANCIAL, Dun & Bradstreet and Cingular Wireless. In 2004, Jupiter Research ranked Did-it the Number One Search Engine Marketing firm for technology and market suitability. www.did-it.com Phone: (800)-932-7761 (516)-255-0500

Man Vomits Uncontrollably Upon Hearing of New Press Release About Million Pixel Advertising Pages

 

Man Vomits Uncontrollably Upon Hearing of New Press Release About Million Pixel Advertising Pages

 

(NARWEB) November 3, 2005 -- Minneapolis - At his job today, Wally Nordfish was taken ill in a most violent and uncontrolled way when a co-worker showed him a press release just issued by the owners of another million pixel ad page web site, designed to take advantage of the current hype around such sites.

 

The spewing incident lasted only a few minutes, but co-worker Gene Sheffeid said, "Man, I know he hates those sites, but I just thought I would tease him a little more. I've seen the Exorcist, but I always thought that was just special effects. The worst part for me, now that I know he's going to be ok, is that he was seated at my desk at the time."

 

When the spasms caused Mr. Nordfish to lose consciousness, he was taken to a nearby hospital and released a few hours later. When reached by phone for comment, he said, "I'm really embarrassed and I have no idea why that happened. This is the first time. I just started reading what Gene showed me and my stomach started spinning like a turbine. It was like a nightmare!".

 

Mr. Nordfish continued, "Those stupid pixel sites are such a rip-off! They are nothing better that graphic link farms with no text content, no Google PageRank, and no real value for the money they are charging people. The damn things have no content, ok?!!?". It was suggested that there was enough material for the story and that Mr. Nordfish should get some rest and end the call.

 

The company that employs both men declined to comment but issued a short statement: "We regret this incident and have amended our employee handbook to include rules about the distribution of objectionable materials at the office, or using company equipment. It's a shame that this had to happen, but everyone at the company is very aware these pixel sites, the problems they can cause, and we do not foresee something like this ever happening again.". No disciplinary measures were mentioned, but there was speculation that Mr. Sheffeid would be required to clean up the work area.

MillionDollarHomepage Hacker Attack Clones Get Slapped

(PRWEB) October 31, 2005 -- Hackers have started their onslaught on MilliondollarHomepage type sites. They have found a vulnerability in the script that allows them to post their banner over the advertisers logos. But the advertiser still gets the click thru. These attacks are easily undone and everything returns to normal without the site closing. They are simply just ugly but not malicious. Most sites that were hacked were back to normal in minutes.

Says Peter the Hack ( one of the guilty ) , about the hacks " We can do no lasting damage , just place our oversized "banner" on a free spot , so that it over shadows the real pixels. but the real pixels get the clickthru , you just see our banner. We only do it for fun , not malice. the game is to see who can hack the big one ! "

New Toplist generates amazing traffic for Pixel sites

Friday, 28. October 2005
The Free Million Pixels Toplist ( http://www.freemillionpixels.com/topsites/ ) has generated huge amouts of traffic to the sites that signed up for the free service. The pixel sites , scripts , other lists etc are ll noticing a surge in their stats. this is due partly to the fact that the toplist is receiving thousands of hits daily which in turn leads to free visitors to the sites that came on board.

Sites that didnt join are feeling the pinch as they get left well and truly behind in the "Pixel War" . ( To pun another great pixel directory ).     It seems that sites that joined the Webring have benefitted the most. To join the Webring the sites must display a piece of code that allows for easy navigation thru all the member sites. Thus people can surf pixel sites , almost automatically.

The Toplist is a totally free service , being funded only by the odd advert , mainly those from http://ffq.com ( a pixel banner site ) and http://free-banners.biz ( one of the larger Banner Exchange Networks ) .

Most of the traffic to the Toplist comes from the search engines as it is well placed in its appropriate keywords ( First in many ). It has tured out to be a easy way for pixel related sites to get a backdoor onto the no.1 spot , or at least their site featuring for free on the site that is at number one ( and often 2 & 3 aswell )


Milliondollarhomepage clone steals the Limelight

Media coverage of this new site has been as heated as that of the original. Some predicting that it will overtake the original in a few short days. The reason for this is not onlt the free element , but content . And as they say "Content is King". this has been achieved by continuslly adding to the site. ie a toplist of all the other pixel sites , ie http://freemillionpixels.com/topsites/ . this top list is an archive of all the other pixel sites with a ranking system. Forums et al , are in the pipeline.

Website Source Provides Articles on Domain Names

 

Website Source Provides Articles on Domain Names

Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 2, 2005 -- LowPriceDomains.com, launched in July 2005, is drawing customers because of its articles on domain management as well as its low-priced domain registration services. The articles cover various aspects of how to find, choose, use, and protect domain names.

Domain registration services offered at www.lowpricedomains.com are provided by Website Source, Inc. The articles on domain names are part of the series of website hosting articles published at articles.websitesource.com.

DO NOT install the Windows Authenticode Certified "Secure service pack" if prompted!!!

This site, http://www.placementpower.org/ seems to be the one behind the distribution of a browser add-in that has nothing to do with security except to violate yours. It really adds the ability to server ads to you that you may or may not want. It may do other harmful things, but this has not been verified. Don't trust something that has to hide what it really is and what it really does to your computer.

 

They also offer Surf Speak surfspeak.com and Voice command browser. If you are considering these, look for the same thing somewhere else, or make sure you read all about what the do to your computer and what rights you give up by doing so.

 

They also say they are Windows Authenticode Certified which they may or may not be, I don't know what it takes to be able to claim that, but it does NOT mean that Microsoft approves of what they are doing. If they do, let me know and I'll print that. They also try to make you think that the Secure Service Pack is something important like Macromedia Flash Player, Adobe Reader, Quicktime Player and they mention those products on their site and on the phone if you call them.

 

Don't be suckered in and tell everyone you know that it's a another scam to use you to generate advertising revenue for them. What do you get? Nothing, or maybe some software you could get elsewhere without the spy ware/adware.
