Gimpsy Search Engine AnalysisGimpsy, A Completely New Way to SearchGimpsy is relatively new in the search engine arena, having launched in beta on February 1, 2002. Gimpsy was opened to the public on October 30, 2002. Gimpsy stands far apart from the rest of the field when it comes to searching. The interface, the search method, the advertising opportunities, and the actual contents of the directory are all radically different from traditional search engines. At Gimpsy, you don't search for information, you do things. Instead of searching for "online Spanish lessons training," you search "learn Spanish." The motto at Gimpsy is "Active Sites for Active People," and it is reflected in the search interface and in the site selection process. If your site does not offer interaction, then it will not be added to the directory. I want to... "Read marketing hype" is not a search option. Because Gimpsy only lists sites that do something, it is not filled with promotional sites and affiliate sites, which exist only to lead visitors to other sites. For that reason, searching Gimpsy can be much easier than searching other directories and search engines. Gimpsy Search Engine AnalysisFREE ADD URL: THE KEY: DIRECTORY: SEARCH RESULTS: FEATURED SITES: The Red Star - Gimpsy has an innovative advertising scheme through which webmasters can bid for placement in the top results on any given search. Basically, a site owner bids a specific dollar amount for the placement he or she wants, and if the owner's bid is the highest, he or she gets the placement for one month, irrespective of how many times the specific search is performed or how many clicks the site receives. At the moment, the minimum bid is $5.00 US and bidding increments are $1.00 US. In the event of a tie, the first bid in wins. RELATIONSHIPS: TOOLS: |
