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.

1-1half monthsGuys 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.
