The Social Network based Search Engine & News Service

AnooX is a not-for-profit project with the goal of enabling people that are looking for something to connect with people that have that something, for free in most cases or for the lowest costs possible. Where that something can be information about a question you have, the real news, or a product or service that you want to buy.

How we are going about delivering on our goal is to offer you a most empowering Social Networking service through which you can collaborate and communicate for free with friends or colleagues from around the corner or around the World. With the caveat that the more you contribute to the wider AnooX network, whether by simply placing your AnooX Community Button on your home-page, or by sharing your knowledge to improve the AnooX Search Engine, or by reporting the news via AnooX News (RealNewsPost.com), etc. that the more value AnooX social network will deliver to you.

So AnooX is all about YOU.
But what YOU get from AnooX social network, depends on how much you put into AnooX. That is you will get alot from AnooX by just taking advantage of the free AnooX Social networking service, but you can get even more, indeed much more, by contributing more and more to the AnooX social network.

Because AnooX YouCommunity Social Networking service gives you all the Key features that you want from a Social Networking service, but it gives you features that NO other Social Networking service offers you, such as the ability to get Free Traffic to your Web site for the traffic that your YouCommunity Social Network gets on AnooX, and you can also make Affiliate type commissions for the traffic to your AnooX YouCommunity Social Network that ends up buying Advertising on AnooX - more here.

Also because we are not-for-profit, unlike Facebook, Twitter, etc. you can be certain that you will never find your interest sacrificed by us for the sake of higher profits and share prices as all too often happens with the for-profit companies.

No, not all the time. This is because currently AnooX is way under powered in regard to the computing resources that we have. As a result we have limited the Indexing that we do to the home page of web sites and few pages below the home page. As a result AnooX is currently not so good for finding documents, but it is best for finding businesses, which naturally have a home page.

So the idea behind AnooX search engine, that is search results that are generated by the "Wisdom of the Crowds", by YOU, has the potential to generate the most accurate search results, but that is not necessarily the case now due to the limitations of our resources as a small business. However, there are many things that we offer which are better than anything else on the market, such as our YouCommunity Social Networking service, our Free Traffic Exchange program, and that we connect buyers and sellers for the lowest cost of Advertising. So we always recommend searching with AnooX and another search engine, to make sure you get the best results.

People, which can be you yourself and anybody else, change the AnooX search results by searching for what you are looking for, and then holding your mouse over the button that says [Vote for this Listing], which appears to the right of each listing on the search results pages, and then Voting that listing Up, Down or as SPAM. All the votes issued by all the people are then taken into account by AnooX every 15 minutes, changing the AnooX search results as per your knowledge then every 15 minutes of every day.

Note: To Vote you need to be logged into your AnooX YouCommunity Social Networking account. After you are logged in just click on "Log-in to Vote" and proceed to search and Vote.

And there are other ways that People can change the AnooX search results, which are coming soon.

To post a News article on RealNewsPost.com you just need to be logged into your AnooX community account. After you are logged in then go ahead and "Post a New Article" and afterward go to "Manage my Blogs", select your Blog to which you posted the Article that you want to submit to RealNewsPost.com and then click on the "Post to RealNewsPost.com" link that is in front of each article and then provide a brief reasoning as to why you want your article published under RealNewsPost.com. Our Editors will review your article and if it is News and Fact based then it will be published under RealNewsPost.com - More.

But please note: the ultimate determinant of whether your Article will stay on RealNewsPost.com or will be removed is based on the number of Up Votes that it will get vs the Down & SPAM Votes. So like AnooX search results, it is ultimately the "Wisdom of the Crowds" that will decide whether your Article will stay under RealNewsPost.com or not.

You can make money from your articles posted to your Blogs and of course even more so to your Articles that have been accepted for publication under RealNewsPost.com - You can make money from your Articles via your automatic AnooX Affiliate relationship, that was granted to you when you became an AnooX community member.

The way this works is that when someone reads an Article that you have posted to your Blog or published under RealNewsPost.com, if they click on the "Place your Ads here" link that is on top of each Article and buys Advertising on AnooX, then you will be paid 20% of any such Advertising purchase.

It can be because your Web site is not Indexed yet by AnooX, if this is the case then you can submit for free Indexing - Details.

Also it can be because you are not linking to AnooX yet with your AnooX Community Link or you have not confirmed this link - Details.

It can also be because your site has received very low ranking after it was Indexed, in which case you can increase its ranking by re-submitting it for Paid Indexing - Details.

Of course keeping in mind that ultimately it is the decision of the People as to what ranking your listings will receive under given Keywords searched for, but if your site is ranked very low to start with then it may not receive much Votes for it to move up, so a one time boost in ranking which is what you will get from Paid Indexing can help.

Because AnooX does Two things for the benefit of People and small businesses that the Big Media does not like:

1. AnooX democratizes the dissemination of information, that is AnooX search results and news (RealNewsPost.com) rather than being mysteriously generated by a hidden elite or secret algorithms are democratically powered by YOU.


2. AnooX makes the cost of Advertising, which is the revenue source for Big (main stream) Media, much lower, specially much lower for small businesses.
