Hello all,
I am back from the Vegas Summit. I had a blast there by talking to many people and giving out business cards. People really liked the idea of gloofi as it combines Search, Social Networking, Affiliate Marketing, Wiki style editing and user friendly usage all in one package. One person even said “This can become bigger than Google!”. Well, I don’t want to go there but there is a huge potential as gloofi offers so many new things never before seen.
To recap, gloofi offers to let you ad and edit your Index entry. By adding many entries you will receive points for each approved entry which will lead to shares in gloofi or even cash once gloofi makes money. This will keep the users on the site to make it better day by day. Users can easily send links via email, bookmark links in social bookmarking sites or comment about an entry without leaving the result. All those activities in conjunction with each users points (used for ranking) will allow to create a much better site ranking than a link based ranking like Google.
Next week the site will move to bigger servers and will have some 100.000 pages indexed to make at least a result like Mahalo has from the beginning. I also was able to get contacts for many affiliate accounts so gloofi will than have over 1 Million adds to serve in about 2 – 3 weeks. The new ways for serving advertisements will also put Google in a bad position, since the standard Affiliate process of each merchant can be used and thus no cost is involved till an item has been bought on the merchant site. Once ebay and Amazon is included, gloofi will have about 6 times more advertisements than Google.
OK, that is it for now.
Best,
Martin
