Re: A different way to look at search engines

OK, before the folks that attack new ideas unleash their barrage,

I think its a good idea in theory and wish you well with it.
But don't webmaster like to give our banner ads under their own terms ie.
"you must have a static image that is clickable" or "you can have an
animated gif with these dimensions"

I don't think they'd be so willing to allow you to embed your own mini-site
on their site.
Also, many sites have their banner ads in rotation. They change every 15
seconds or so. I don't see that your system would intergrate with this
system ???

I don't think they'd be so willing to allow you to embed your own
mini-site
on their site.

Well, what real difference does it make? It takes up no bandwidth and
no appreciable disk space. It's not "embedded", it's only a code
fragment, like any other banner ad or link.

Whether or not it takes up physical space, code space or bandwidth is not
what I'm getting at.
I was referring to visual space really. People aren't keen to give away
their e-real esate..... unless you waft enough money in front of their face.

Btw, what are the TOC of the competition that you are running? How many
winners are there?
Seems more like an introductory offer to me but I'll give you the right to
reply before concluding.

thanks

I wanted smaller ads and please note my screen is 640x480 and I don't have
this Macromedia player thing. I do this so that I can see what my customers
see - my customers often have the most basic equipment and are on very slow
dial up lines - even Inmarsat at several $ per minute - in remote parts of
the world - so short fast files are a must.
