Link your Keyword for targeted visitors
Even before I knew that there are well known internet crooks behind it, i figured out that it simply can not work on long term.
The reason is simple.
There were very few rules. I could buy a keyword "dogfood" and link a site to it that sells furniture.
It is the common users that make the success of any search engine. When Kooday launched for the public and people got irrelevant search results so they retuned to old trusted Google or another one that produces relevant results.
Apart from that, the prices of purchasing a keyword was artificially driven up by the owners of the keywords. This is simply not workable. Companies do not want to have check daily if they still own their keyword or have to purchase the same keyword over and over again.
There are similar programs were people are making money, some even a lot. But what will happen if these programs crash like happened to Kooday? When it becomes general knowledge they are a scam? Would you join another program from the person who recommended this program to you?
I am the owner of a site where you can buy a keyword an link your site or program to it for 1 year or 3 years (top spot). Nobody can take the keyword away from you by placing a higher bid. You can ad a description and an image to it.
It has nothing to do with a search engine.
It has nothing to do with a search engine.
My site is called "Link your keyword", The site is not only visited by online marketeers but also by the general public and is therefore ideal for promoting a niche product or service. We have also 2 special pages: A TE Special where you can promote your TE or promote te-related services and a Tools and E-book special.
When people hover your keyword they see the image and the description. All keyword purchases are manually reviewed by me. Keywords that are reserved and don't match the content are refused.
So go ahead and Link your keyword today and get targeted visitors.

Time will tell with Kooday, my friends. The search results you see right now are from user linking only. All of the garbage links are supposed to be cleaned up when the crawlers are finished, currently at 86% at a pace of 2-3% per day. Programming efforts are ramping up and there will be significant changes in the coming weeks.

You are right Paula Lee. That is why the program is doomed to go under sooner or later. The succes of a search engine depends on if consumers will use the search engine. If they get bad search results they will search with Google or another one that produces relevant results. How interesting is it you think for advertiser to buy links or keywords on a service that nobody wants to use? Apart from the fact that the price is driven up by the members buying their won keywords to earn points.

I don't know, because any users who might have used it as a search engine are long gone off to greener pastures where they can find a search engine that works.

Only the people who see it as a money-making opportunity and not a SE keep hoping it will keep its promises, whatever those are.
The so-called percentage of progress is increasing by 1 % a day. At this rate, we still have 2 weeks to wait for Kooday to be ready.

The really sad part about the whole thing is the constant "It's in beta" argument. I guess that no one using that argument understands that the 'beta'phase is the time that all viable search engines are actively building their user base.
That is the time when you want someone to use your search engine and be happy with it so they spread the word and refer that search engine to their friends. I still remember the buzz on Dogpile, Ask (Jeeves) etc. A lot of people flocked to those search e

It's called Jack and the Beanstalk Syndrome. They keep thinking that they are going to get magic beans for that cow instead of plain old beans.

And that is exactly the problem even with overwhelming evidence that something is a scam and you will lose your shirt you still get people that are willing to walk right into their trap with both eyes open hoping to score and get out before the sky falls in.. what is this world coming too are people that desperate they have to risk everything including their freedom in the vain hope that they can beat the scammers ?

These sites seem interesting. I will look into them and maybe I will join at least one of them. Thanks for the information.

WHY does someone use a search engine? What is it that the SEARCHER WANTS when they type something into that search bar? If you can understand that then you can understand WHY this does not work.
The searcher wants RELEVANT RESULTS on what THEY are searching for and they don't give a good cahoot about your keywords or anything else. The only thing that they are concerned with is the RESULTS.
There is a world of difference in getting a page full of relevant results That may come with rela

but that is the whole point kooday does not deliver quality traffic and the fact you got paid does not make it a legitimate opportunity the whole kooday model is based on speculation and is little more than a hyip/ponzi scheme, there is no distribution network for niche targeting and ultimately people will lose money as it's promises are broken you could get in early on any scam and make money but it doesn't make it legal to do so

@Joe Sansoucie, please go to the Ethics In Business group here at ApSense. My friend Andy is giving a good definition of what a scam is in the discussion "For the record on Kooday". The point is, making real money doesn't make anything legit, else, people like Earl Jones wouldn't go to prison.

I agree, slamming another site to get people to join your program is pretty bad. Instead show your strengths and let the members decide if it's for them. One problem with any search engine is the fact that 99 % of users have no idea what a keyword is and how it works.
Some don't care to know, others are too lazy to learn how to do it correctly. Kooday is not a scam as far as I can see, any more than this new search engine is a scam. I have no idea if they are a scam, but I can say that Kood

@Kevin, saying Kooday is in a beta phase is a stretch of the imagination. Use either the Kooiii or Google SE and look for "beta version" ( without the quotes ). You'll see the 2nd result points to a site called wisegeek, the link points to a definition of a beta version of software or website. In both cases, when a beta version is made public, it's for anyone to test the features. With Kooday, there's nothing to test. Search for led zeppelin at the time I'm writing this and you will find 21 resu

if the odds are stacked that kooday will fail [Quote]"Sure, odds are stacked that it will fail in this extremely competitive search engine market,"[end quote]are you not promoting something that will ultimately leave many people out of pocket thereby knowingly breaking the law

I agree with Alisa. It's unfair to slam Kooday when what you see now (BETA phase) is nowhere near the finished product. Kooday has delivered on its promises so far and will soon deliver a relevant search engine. Sure, odds are stacked that it will fail in this extremely competitive search engine market, but it is a unique concept that has huge potential with little investment needed to succeed.
