I am very happy that FyberSearch is a partner with ExactSeek. Not only is FyberSearch able to offer low cost search engine advertising solutions through their network but FyberSearch is also part of the new ISEDN website to help smaller search engines grow and compete in the marketplace.
Below you will find a press release announcing ISEDN. I also encourage you to take a look at this interview between Martin Lemieux (president of the Smartads Advertising Network) and Mel Strocen (from ExactSeek and ISEDN). Very interesting...
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Independent Search Engine & Directory Network Offers Alternative to Pay-Per-Click
Winnipeg, MB (PRWEB) July 20, 2005 - A new player has entered the online search arena calling itself the Independent Search Engine & Directory Network (ISEDN.ORG). Founded by ExactSeek.com in late June, 2005, the ISEDN has rapidly grown to 47 member sites with new members joining the organization at the rate of 3 - 5 per week.
The ISEDN has adopted ExactSeek's hybrid pay-for-inclusion model which offers top 10 website exposure to search engine advertisers at fixed, flat fee rates. Similar in concept to Google's AdWords program without the pay-per-click element, the program has grown in popularity as pay-per-click costs soar and news of rampant click fraud continues to tarnish the pay-per-click model.
"We've received nothing but positive feedback since launching the ISEDN," said Mel Strocen, CEO of Jayde Online, Inc., ExactSeek's parent company. "There is tremendous interest in the concept of an independent search organization that can act as a counter to the heavyweights in the search industry. The ISEDN is looking to focus media and public attention on a more affordable and reliable search advertising model than the one being promoted by the current leaders in the pay-per-click world. Search giants like Google, Yahoo! and MSN have little to gain by policing click traffic or putting a cap on pay-per-click rates."
Strocen went on to say that the ISEDN would be using all the resources at the membership's disposal in the coming months to recruit new members, promote the ISEDN's alternative advertising model and to slow the trend towards the monopolization of search on the Web.

FeedPlex now has 11 advanced features to help Internet users search for and find XML and RSS content.
Burien, Wash. - July 11th, 2005 -- FyberSearch has added 11 advanced features to the XML search engine FeedPlex that it acquired last year and re-launched this spring.
FeedPlex is a search engine for Internet users who are interested in finding XML and RSS files located on blogs and other websites. Now FeedPlex offers several useful features to complement it's search functionality, some of which cannot be found on most search engines. Three of these powerful and unique features are: "Keyword Density", "Words Per Page" and "Category". They are described in more detail below.
The "Keyword Density" feature will require that each web page found in a user's search results contain his/her search query at least X times. The "Words Per Page" feature will require that each web page found in a user's search results contain more/less than X total words. With the "Category" setting a user can restrict his/her search query to web pages relating to a certain topic.
Other available advanced features include: "URL Restriction", "Search Inside", "Domain Extension", "Description Length", "Results Per Page" and more. See www.feedplex.com/advanced.php for a complete list and www.feedplex.com/help.php for help using them.
"The 11 advanced features being backed by FyberSearch technology make it a great way to find XML and RSS content, especially for the advanced user." Says Nathan Enns, Founder and President of FyberSearch. "More services, features and tools are on the way..."

Here is a quote from the MSN Search WebBlog:
"Using the Add-ins dev guide, you can now write an application that takes the results from Desktop Search and combines it with information from other sources such as online content. This allows you to create new mash-ups of functionality that we haven't even though of yet."
I bet you won't be able to resist clicking something on this website. I read for a while but I couldn't resist clicking once just to see if the site would cause my computer to explode... it didn't.
Good find from John Battelle's Searchblog.
