    Hi Everyone,

    My name is Dani and I am a Web Marketer. A few months ago we had asked for a few users who wished to Alpha test a project I have been working on. The first stage of the testing is now over and we have now launched the website for the beta testing period.

    But what makes Seekopia a new concept and not just another blogging website?

    1) Seekopia is an online magazine and social Networking website which customizes itself according to the interests of its users and allows users to choose favourite writers and get updates and information about their favourite blogs. This means that users who are interested in your articles will constantly be updated whenever you add new content to your blog and your blog will be accessible and targeted at the right people.

    2) Not only does Seekopia provide a platform for creating a feature-rich blog but the great thing is that you earn, not depending on how popular your own blog is, but on how many articles you contribute because Seekopia gives its users a share of the advertising revenue of the entire website based on the amount of content they contribute! When users access blogs through the Seekopia Website your Contextual advertising may appear on any one of these blogs and therefore your adverts will appear even if your own blog isn’t viewed.

    I hope that this has got you interested! There’s more information about this new concept on seekopia.com

    I am very excited and urge you to sign up today and start blogging to help get off the ground a website which I’m hoping will be the next big thing in the blogging world.

    Many thanks in advance,
    Dani

    It got me interested!

    By the way, is this new social marketing website like squidoo/hubpages/associated content? I'll check out your site. I need additional tools to promote my website. This might just help me gain more traffic. Hopefully, it does. Thanks for sharing this.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm Marc von Brockdorff, the creator of Seekopia. Dani is the person in charge of marketing the website and you will definitely be hearing more from her :) I will be answering any technical questions you have related to the website.

    Komicwords: No, by surfing on Seekopia, you won't be gaining any links. What you can do however is sign up for free, and browse the articles, commenting, tagging and adding favourite writers as you go along. If you wish to promote your website, just sign-up for free and start writing articles. You will then be able to create your own adverts (like facebook's) and choose topics you wish the adverts to appear in. Your adverts will appear in each and every article on Seekopia in that topic!

    jasonxav: Yes, Seekopia can help you promote your own website. As I told Komicwords, it's very easy to create your own adverts and promote on Seekopia. It's like Google Adsense but rather than paying for links, your Seekopia adverts rank according to how often and how much you've written on Seekopia.

    You can both read more about advertising on Seekopia here: http://www.seekopia.com/#earn/about/home

    bluebenz: Fixed, had a problem with the DNS when no 'www' is used. Thanks for that.

    I'd like to point it out that this is a relatively new website so many more features will be added as the website grows. Additionally, I am completely open to suggestions so should any of you have any, I will do my best to implement them.

    Thanks,

    Marc

    newlogo: From an SEO point of view, you may put your website URL in your profile (http://username.seekopia.com). You are able to put links in your articles, however, they will only be approved to form part of the Seekopia online magazine if the links included are clearly not blatant promotion or affiliate links.

    Hmm. Looks interesting. But how often do you pay? also is there any referral sign up bonus?

    BlackhatVault: I'm not sure what you mean, we don't pay out anything. We use Google Adsense as a contextual advertising platform so all you need to do is put in your Google Adsense Publisher ID and Google takes care of all your earnings. Regarding the referral sign up bonus, yes, we will be launching one in around 2 weeks when the first 2 weeks of testing is over. We have quite an aggressive marketing plan which will carry out over a number of months.
