A unique social search and bookmarking platform with an open web index was launched about four years ago, promoting human collaboration and participation. This platform introduced an innovative online advertising concept termed Pay-Per-Chat. It currently boasts over 81,000 registered users and has accumulated more than 470,000 submitted links. Development costs have surpassed $25,000, with a completely custom design and initial marketing efforts used to promote the launch. The platform operates on a dedicated server at a cost of $100 per month, utilizing PHP and MySQL technologies, with the database currently expanding by 3MB daily.
The site’s integration with several social bookmarking tools, such as AddToAny, AddThis, ShareThis, Social Twist, and Shareaholic, enhances its sharing and bookmarking functionalities. Despite these integrations, the platform seeks to attract more users and increase interaction through better search engine optimization (SEO), considering there are over 1,000,000 pages available for optimization. Currently, the site receives more than 22,500 unique visitors and over 100,000 page views per month. The business indicates a significant need for SEO improvements to boost organic search traffic and further engage its user base.
