GBDI is one to take a look at, it just started trading last Wednesday! Global Business Information Directory, GBID.com, is positioning itself in the internet market as the first global geographical search engine, with services including web site hosting, web site design and on-line advertising. GBID.com provides businesses an opportunity to have their site hosted, as well as marketed globally on their behalf. Currently, new businesses entering the internet environment are left to independently market their own site. GBID.com allows companies to market their web sites with a corporate listing, easily located with the GBID-QUEST; an in-house developed geographical search engine. Current search engines are "word search" based, which is time consuming and provides limited results for the average business user. The Company has sourced international data bases that will allow global business access and marketing that is not currently available. Most directory pages are on line but do not offer the global access enhanced services of GBID.com. The Company has several Associated Partners internationally, ready to market their site and their services.
