Irby...BRAND Awareness and Traffic take time to build MSFT realized that when they swooped down and bgt HOTMAIL...Lycos realized that when they bought TRIPOD...and so on with GEOCITIES and so on... The WEB develops so fast If you have lots of money its better to buy and build that wait fer your own Brand to grow by Osmosis...Traffic is the key to any Site on the net ...got traffic...name your price...YHOO XCIT LYCOS SEEK and a few Adult Engines have such SOLID Brand Awareness that it will be a monumental task to get people to change their Bookmarks just cause there is another search engine... And lastly there are over 1000 search engines out there but how many are household names...GRIM Talking From Solid Sexperience

No more positive comments from GRIM till he gets a sufficient position built...but had to get the big picture out from someone who has accomplished things from A-Z. There are companies out there started by Gifted individuals young and old..male and female that are now bringing in 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 THOUSAND DOLLARS a MONTH in revenues that were fly by night operations just a year ago. Most of this money is profit with server costs the only real expense...(and some reverse advertising...but most of that is done by Banner Bartering). The Net is there for smart people to develop...you can be black,brown,yellow,green(from mars)...fat, skinny,tall short,gorgeous,ugly etc etc and no one sees you.. There is no such thing as racism, prejudice etc here. You can be physically disabled live with the reindeer or in impoverished countries and your mkt is world wide 24 hours a day... GRIM has SPOKEN TOO MUCH....I am INCREDIBLE...
