Hi, I am glad to be at this forum. I am about to launch a site that will change the way people search for information. I took few different technologies and combined it together to make a new search engine and a directory listing. It is an open source model where the people (any people) can add urls, delete urls, add information, modify information or delete information on any given keyword term. I believe in transparent systems. This will be transparent to the people and to the webmasters. No more mystery in searching. People will be able to find search results and good quality content on any given keyword that they are searching for.
How does it work?
Basically, if you go to Google.com and search for a keyword xyz, you get a bunch of search results pages with high ranking (Google's bot believe they should be ranked that way) URLs for you to visit to find information about xyz. Some are relevant and many are spams and advertisers who fools the bots to make it to the top. So we really don't end up with right URLs to find information on the topic xyz.
At oozm.com, when you search for xyz, you will be sent to oozm.com/xyz where you will see on the top a list of URLs added by members of oozm (Urls are listed based on number of tags, book marks, referrals by people). And then after those search results, oozm will provide you with information on the topic xyz. This information is added by people and edited by any people.
Therefore a social search engine with contents for each and every keyword and it is driven by the people, not by a mystery bot!
If you have been to digg.com, a social tech news book marking site. You could see how news makes it to the front page. We will use similar methods for valid URLs to make it to the front page of How can you help?I need your help to have a successful launch day. I want to launch this well so that I don't have to worry about it for the next two weeks. I am looking for people that have a client base to whom you can share this news with. I want people to talk about this on the first day its out.
How can you make money?
My business model to make money is to sell keywords in the form of a URL (e.g. http://www.oozm.com/paris_hilton
for the keyword "paris hilton") for each and every keyword. I will sell the keywords for a year to someone. So basically they will own the keyword URL for a year and can place their own ads or sell it to someone. They can even place their Google Adsense ads there to make money. I am doing this so that I can raise money for the business to take off.
I will share up to 50% of the profit with my affiliate partners. So you really can make money by referring people to the site. Good keywords will be gone within minutes. Contact me to find out how you can become an affiliate and make serious money on the first week and so on with this unique idea.
Can you buy good keyword urls early?
Yes you can buy good keywords early. I can reserve them for you at a good price. Please go to the site and contact me or you can contact me at support at oozm.com. I can also provide you with further details about the site. If you are starting up a business and need traffic, these keyword URL will get you started. You can buy early and avoid competition. There are many people who can't afford to pay for good keywords at other search engines. Here you can own them for one full year with anything you want on it. You own the URL to place your ADS, and other people update the contents! What else you want?!!!
The site has received more than 20,000 unique visits in the past few weeks. Even before it is launched because the idea is unique. I will launch this in a week time. I have presold many keywords. I would like you to take advantage of it as well. Please become an affiliate as well and help me launch this successfully.
You can get a bit more information on oozm.com. Please contact me for details of the project.
Thank you,
Guna

Hi Guna,
Sounds like a great idea - the key will be your patience in letting this build up, because I'm guessing you're going to have to rely on the goodwill of people contributing for the first few years before it becomes actually useful in terms of volume of content - number of listings contributed.
I am also tired of the way search engines organize their listings - I see your model as a kind of wikipedia style system.
I would be interested in joining your program if you can verify the number of hits you're getting (please email me).

Thank you. People are sending me a lot of good feedbacks in the past few weeks. Yes the site will rely on the people to update the information. My model to initially sell the keyword URL would drive in buyers to purchase those good keywords before they are gone. The keywords that are highly ranked at Google will be gone immediately. This model would put a person in charge of each keyword URL, hence they will update some sort of information that they can get from Wikipedia or other sources. Others can update later. I am hoping that would engage people to be active on the site.
I have sold many keywords before it is even launched! I received more than 25K unique visits in the past 3 weeks. This is without a site. You could imagine the potential with the site up and running.
Thank you.

I maybe interested in buying the keyword 'antiques'. Could you give me an idea of cost please?

Thorpelad,
I launched the site yesterday afternoon. You can get all the details on the site. Purchasing a keyword is very easy. The site have attracted a very large number of buyers over the past 9 hours and I have sold many keywords. Good keywords won't last long.
Please visit http://www.oozm.com and purchase your keywords. The keyword 'antiques' is still there. If you purchase this keyword, you will have the following URL http://www.oozm.com/antiques .
I would encourage others to buy good keywords that you can sell later for a higher price to others. This idea is unique and it is getting a lot of attention.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks,
guna.

I have joined as an affiliate and have a question :-
Where it says
"So far your affiliate link has sent in 0 hits to our site"
Could you please tell me how often this figure is updated with the number of hits your site receives from my affiliate link

Thank you for joining the affiliate program.
The stats are live. So if someone comes from your site to ours through the Affiliate URL link that OOZM provided to you, then the hit counter goes up. I wanted to make sure that this is live because I want you to know how many hits you are sending oozm.com. This will help you target your ads.
Good luck.
Also I want to update this forum of the success I had so far with this site. Sold many keywords in the last 96 hours since the launch. Almost all of the URL directory listing categories are gone. I've realized after launching the site that the category URL pages are probably a good idea to hold on to but it was too late. People rushed to purchase the directory listing category pages first. Smart! I didn't think about it first. Well now the good keywords from the front page are gone and they are going to keep it for a year. Good work guys.
Also I've added 2 key features in the last two days.
1) URLs will be listed automatically for any keyword URL page that you create. So if you go to a browser and type in http://www.oozm.com/Walter then that page will automatically be added with community URLs. It is done to make it easy for the community to then pick and choose what should stay on that page and what shouldn't.
2) Each pages allows you to minimize or hide the URL listings to allow you to focus on information. This gives you an opportunity for you to browse through the site without looking at the URLs. That is if you are searching for information on each keyword. I updated the site about 6 hours ago and I got over 25 emails from people with good feedback on that. Thank you.
I will keep you all in the loop.
Thank you again for all of your support to get the word out about a new search engine in town where people are on the driver's seat.
-Guna

Guys this is going well so far but I am only getting sales through personal marketing. People love the concept and all but all those people coming to the site on their own through search engine or whatever, they are not buying as many keyword pages as I would like. Maybe I am missing something on the site that explains the concept.
I am receiving in excess of over 1,500 unique visitors per day and it is growing.
I would like to know if there is someone out there that is really good at marketing that can help me target the right people to come to the site and buy the keywords. I don't have the time to do personal marketing anymore. I wish I do because when I explain to people about the concept, they get it and they buy keywords!
I am also looking for affiliates to refer people to my site. Here is a deal, if you want to be an affiliate, email me and I will give you a free keyword page for 3 months. If you grab the good keyword, you can advertise there for free for 3 months. All by yourself. However, your site must qualify for an affiliate. You can make a lot of money. I will also pay your commission every 10 days.
Please let me know if there are any other marketing ideas to target people to come and buy keyword pages. I am looking for advice on where I can find people that are looking for advertising help.
Thanks,
Guna.
