I see this as new frontier for web search. A search engine franchise if you will. The fact that millions of people are using a search engine daily to navigate the web does indeed make a search engine THE most valuable resource on the web IMHO. So now we must look at the opportunity your model brings to businesses wishing to make their own search engine and how doing so will impact the web as we currently know it. If Google or Yahoo is unaware of you (i doubt this) they soon will be.

Craig, I think owning a search engine is a great idea. If Yahoo and Google can do it, so can others. There are a lot of search engines out there. Don’t forget about MSN. But that shouldn’t stop others from owning their own search engine too. Great thinking. You will never know how far your idea might go until you go for it.

Guys !!!The Search Results look AWESOME !!! You guys certainly did a lot of work. I used to work at ASK.com and they used to go crazy managing the whole Internet’s data. You guys seem to be pretty good at it. Keep up the Good Work. How much does it cost if I need my own branded search engine? Just curious. (catchtomorrow.org is my homepage now. FEEDBACK: catchtomorrow.com seems a bit cluttered though) Aways, GOOD JOB !!!!

Hey Stephen, Thanks so much for your kind words and taking the time to provide us with feedback.
It’s truly appreciated. Hey, we agree with you regarding catchtomorrow.com…and we’re almost ready to deploy a whole new AJAX portal for our engine that will be so much better. In addition to the portal, all our engines will soon be developed with social networking functions built in as well.
Regarding our pricing for developing an engine for your organization. We have two pricing models. The first is a 50/50 revenue share. Where we build the engine to your specs around your brand and you market the engine to your audience and we share the revenue generated 50/50. There is no upfront cost or fees with the revenue share model. However, we do like to partner only with organizations who have an existing audience base.
The second model is our API licensing option. The pricing for an API license is based on the monthly bandwidth related to searches pulled from our servers. There is a minimum monthly fee
of $1295 for the API license.
BTW, are you the internet marketing Stephen Pierce? Either way, give me a call and we’ll chat.
You’ll find my contact info at: http://searchenginecorp.com/contact.php
