OddSpot.com is NOT a search engine. OddSpot.com is a virtual online exhibition. Each OddSpot category (see above) embodies a unique collection of innovative, unusual and hard to find products and services. Internet visitors are attracted to OddSpot.com because they have an opportunity to view a wide range of unique and hard to find products and services, in categories of their interest, under one virtual roof. The dynamic nature of the website presents a kaleidoscopic array of offerings to excited and curious visitors. The character of the OddSpot website is deliberately "old fashioned and dated" to further enhance its appeal to adventurous and curious visitors. Why should I advertise on OddSpot.com? Visitors to the OddSpot.com website are attracted by the wide array of unique and uncommon products and services on display. By advertising with us, your products and services will be introduced to visitors in an environment of heightened curiosity and adventure. OddSpot.com is an “Aladdin’s Cave” setting for vendors of unusual, or specialist products and services. Advertising on OddSpot.com will increase your exposure on the internet and our Exponential Exposure system will drive increasing amounts of traffic to your Listing. Your Listing will be displayed alongside other complimentary products or services and will benefit from our unique Dynamic Positioning procedure. What is Exponential Exposure ? Exponential Exposure is unique strategy that we employ to drive visitors to OddSpot.com from participating websites. Mathematically, the sum value of a network increases at the square of the number of its members. In other words, as the number of members in a network increases arithmetically, the value of the network increases exponentially. Adding a few more members can dramatically increase the value of the network for ALL its members. By employing Exponential Exposure techniques we deliver a far larger targeted audience to your website. How does Exponential Exposure help my Listing on OddSpot.com? Exponential Exposure drives visitors to OddSpot.com and consequently to your Listing, Brochure and Website. The internet economy was founded on technology, but its growth thrives on relationships – your relationship with us, and our relationship with all other OddSpot.com advertisers and participating websites. We employ both technology and relationships to deliver this facility. This is the strength of OddSpot.com's unique Exponential Exposure. It’s powerful stuff! What is Dynamic Positioning ? Dynamic Positioning is another unique process whereby we mix and match Listings, within both category and search engine results, to position your product with complimentary products, thereby maximizing the exposure of your product to targeted and enthusiastic visitors. How does Dynamic Positioning help my Listing on OddSpot.com? Dynamic Positioning is one of the great strengths of OddSpot.com. It ensures greater visibility for your product. Imagine being an exhibitor at an exhibition or trade show where another exhibitor is attracting most of the attention and crowds – would you rather be close to the crowds or far away on the other side of the hall? Dynamic Positioning ensures that you are always close to the crowds. Not only are you close to the crowds, but you are close to the crowds looking for YOUR type of product or service. What do I get for my subscription? For a small annual subscription - less than the cost of a quarter page advert in a local magazine - you will get a business card sized Listing in the category of your choice, plus a letter sized (A4) Brochure page linking to your Website. In addition to all of this you get the benefits of international exposure to millions of potential customers. OddSpot.com also gives you the opportunity to promote your products in our “What’s New” category for the first four weeks of your membership as well as a regular random appearance in our “Featured Product” section. We are also constantly reviewing and improving the performance of our Search Engine placements, which in turn gives you the benefit of ever increasing numbers of qualified visitors and potential customers to your website. In addition to all of this you also get the enormous benefits of our unique Exponential Exposure and Dynamic Positioning technology. What sort of exposure does OddSpot have on the internet? OddSpot.com makes extensive use of state of the art Search Engine Optimization techniques to ensure a high level of exposure on all the major search engines. We have recently retained the services of one of the world’s leading search engine optimization companies to advise and maintain our advantage on internet search engines. I already have a Website, why should I spend more on OddSpot.com? The average website is like a un-illuminated sign-post on a dark night, if you don’t know it’s there, chances are you won’t find it. OddSpot.com is the spotlight that illuminates your website and attracts the crowds to it. We spend about 40% of our budget on marketing OddSpot.com and optimizing the exposure of our website on the internet – an expenditure which you will not have to make because we will send qualified visitors to you. In addition to this you also get the powerful benefits of our unique Exponential Exposure and Dynamic Positioning technology. How do I go about getting my products or services advertised on OddSpot.com? All you have to do to get your products or services advertised on OddSpot.com is to make a request via our website and one of our consultants will contact you to assist in setting-up your Listing and Brochure page - or if you're adventurous you can do it yourself via our Auto Submit Tool (AST). Once you’re satisfied with, and have approved your Listing & Brochure page, and we have received payment from you via our secure server, your advertisement will be published on the OddSpot.com website. The whole process should take no longer than 48 hours, no matter where in the world you are. Can I take out a trial subscription? No. We do not offer trial subscriptions because our unique Exponential Exposure process requires your Listing to be subjected to further processing and submissions which takes several weeks to complete before the benefits can begin to be shared with the rest of the OddSpot community. A subscription of less than twelve months would not provide the full benefits which we offer, however this does not mean that you won't immediately benefit from increased visitors to your website - Exponential Exposure is a sustained long term benefit to advertisers with OddSpot.com. What is a Listing and what is a Brochure page? A Listing is a business card sized introduction for visitors to your unique product or service on OddSpot.com. It is displayed in the category of your choice alongside other complimentary products or services. Interested visitors are directed to your Listing via the appropriate category or via our internal search engine. By clicking on the Listing visitors will be sent to your Brochure page. A Brochure Page is a letter sized (A4) advert providing visitors to OddSpot.com with more details of your product or service plus contact details for your business. By clicking on the Brochure Page visitors are taken to your Website. Visitors can also email you directly from your Brochure Page, using our unique OddMail process. What is an OddSpot.com Consultant?

We need representatives with diverse interests in various locations around the world to help us locate unique, unusual and innovative products and services. Why does OddSpot.com use consultants?
