How would this Powerful Search Engine be marketed?

    I have a very powerful search engine created.

    zShare360 - http://www.zshare360.com/

    I'm new to the "search engine" industry, but this site has so many extra features that of the highest demand from zShare (and it's first of it's kind).

    I'm in the urge to know how to market this website, as I want it to grow to it's furthest potential.

    Thanks in advance for your co-operation and advice.

    Also, could users provide me with some information on how I could expand this into something like Rapidshare search engine. If you also offer services that could help me, I'd be glad if you could elaborate more to me on what you could offer.

    Hmm you are wasting your time, why make a zshare and not a rapidshare search engine?

    I don't think it's worth the time to market it.

    However, you could post some Ezine ads and PR to market it. Actually, it depends on your budget and the profit viability of the market.

    Agreed.
    RapidShare is a much better and popular host as compared to zshare...
    Infact, I never knew of zshare till this topic..

    I think the best way to bring out the full potential of a website is to have partners.

    It's because it doesn't have every zShare file. It's user-orientated and only finds files that "want" to be found.

    Don't worry about it's workingness, I've got it covered. It's still in BETA 1, so give it a break please. I'm focusing on marketing, and thanks I'll have a look at finding partners.

    I have developed my own rapidshare search engine and will launch it pretty soon, since we are not direct competitors maybe we can exchange links and talk about marketing, promotion methods and how to improve our sites.

    If you like the idea drop me a PM.

    It's because they pay out their money. And, a lot of them do, otherwise they wouldn't exist.

    Google doesn't index every zShare file, and if they do, they are hard to find. So, sometimes niche-related search engines have their advantages. :)

    Google has always been the number 1 search engine and I like also the features of Scam Search. I think you can market search engines through blogs or forums.

    It's not a search engine Google-type. It's only specifically for zSHARE files.

    There is a huge difference people. I'm not even going to attempt to beat Google.
