Hi,
If you have a woodworking site that you want to promote, please check
out
my new search engine, Zeedex.com
Zeedex works by giving you lists to help expand your search. (e.g. a
search for dogs returns a list of dog breeds, dog toys, etc.) When you
find a term you're interested in, click on it and that term will be put
into your search box. While it is new, there are already a bunch of
lists on different topics.
If you create a list, you can also include a free text ad for your
site. This is a great way to promote your site by sharing information
on a
topic you know a lot about. More on that below.
Anyway, please take a look and let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Russell

How to create a list and get free advertising:
1. Go to Zeedex.com.
2. Try doing a search for "dogs" so you can see what some lists look
like. Try clicking on some boxes to add those words to your search.
3. Register by clicking on the "Register" link at the top right.
4. After registering, click on the "Create a list" link. This will
take you into the edit screen, and you will be prompted to enter some
information about your list:
Title: (the title for your list, e.g. Famous Buildings)
Keywords: (related words that aren't in the title or the
terms themselves.
e.g. Architecture)
Search Term: (This is the first term in your list, e.g.
Empire State Building.
*Do not put more than one search term
in this box*
To add extra terms, use the "Add Search
Terms" button.)
Description: (An optional description of the term.
e.g. The Empire State Building is a
skyscraper in New York City.
It was built in 1931, and is the
tallest building in the city)
Image: (This is an optional link to a picture of the term.
For our example, it might be
http://www.site.com/empire.jpg )
Then click on "Add Search Terms", and you can add
your next Search term, description, and image.
You can add as many search terms as you like.
When you are done creating your list, enter your sponsorship
information at the bottom.
This will become your text ad.
When you are done, press "save" and your list will be created. If you
want to add another item later, just search for the list and click on
the "edit" link in the lower right of the list, and then enter any
changes.
Please email me with any questions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: most people won't use a list that's explicity
commercial.
So while it's fine to put info about your business in the *text ad*,
the
list itself should not be promotional, otherwise people won't use it.
An example of a good list for, say, a camera site would be something
like this: Ad - Bob's camera store. List - different lense
manufacturers
