[BrowseHosts]

BrowseHosts.com has just unveiled its newest version of the pay-per-click system it uses for the web host directory ( BrowseHosts.com Host Directory ). The purposes of the upgrade were to make it easier for hosts to administrate their accounts, upgrade anti-fraud measures, increase speed & relevancy of searches, and to give more information about the clicks to the hosts.

Some of the new, exciting features that put BrowseHosts.com on top of the competition:

BUILT-IN ADVERTISING OPTIONS

- Sponsor Boxes: Advertisers can buy sponsor boxes, which are similar to those on google. The price is a fixed amount per 30 days.
- Search Result Banners: Advertisers can upload banners and choose to have them displayed on search results pages for a keyword. The advertiser chooses how much he willing to pay per click. Other advertisers can outbid him to have their banner placed there. Advertisers can also bid on a catch-all banner placement ( it will show up if on one bid on that banner keyword ).
Note: If you are looking for the normal advertising options ( banners and text links on the main pages of BrowseHosts.com, the forums, etc. ), go to BrowseHosts.com Ad Rates.

EASE-OF-USE

- New Ways to Add Listings: Advertisers can now add their listings in 3 ways: bulk list, plain, and step-by-step ( for beginners ).
- Top Bid: Advertisers can now raise their bid to the top spot for a keyword simply by checking a box.
- Catch-All Listings: Advertisers can now bid on a "catch-all", meaning if someone searches for "host me", and there are no bids for that keyword from any advertiser, the catch-all listing will show up. The minimum bid for a catch-all listing is 3 cents currently ( as opposed to the plain keywords' minimum bid of 1 cent per click ).
- Bid Rankings: Advertisers can see right from their control panel what rank their listings are in, and what the top bid is.
- Keyword Tool: Advertisers can search keyword popularity and all bids on a keyword.

- Nixed Auto-Resize: Due to many advertisers' requests, we got rid of the annoying "auto-resize" of the window that always occured. We still have it on the main pages, but it has been taken out of the control panel pages and the search result pages. We will take it out completely when we redesign the site.

ANTI-FRAUD MEASURES

- Sophisticated Click-Tracking: Bids are continuously monitored by anti-fraud software 24/7. For obvious reasons we can't divulge our methods. Below are just some of the new features.
- Country Blocking: Visitors who are not from English-speaking countries or European countries and click on a bidded listing will not be counted, all part of our effort to increase the quality of your visitors.
- IP Blocking: Malicious IP addresses that produce an unusual amount of clicks are automatically filtered.
- Unique IP: Only 24 unique clicks are depleted from your account. Proxy Servers and Bot clicks and Any clicks which were made through proxy or Anonym proxy will be detected. No money will be deducted from the advertisers account.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

- Credit Card & PayPal: Payment is now accepted by PayPal and also by Credit Card. The minimum deposit is still $15, and due to overwhelmingly good response to our promotional offer ( deposit $20 and up and get a FREE $15 bonus) we have decided to keep the offer alive for some more time.

ADVANCED REPORTING

- Statistics: Advertisers can now see the keyword, click cost, country, IP address and the referrer URL, making BrowseHosts.com able to give the host every bit of information possible about the prospective hosting customer.

REFER-A-FRIEND BONUS

- Earn Money: Advertisers can use unique referral URLs ( available in the control panel ) to refer other hosts and get 10% of every deposit the referral makes. This can quickly add up to serious amounts given the current average deposits.
