Limits on how much a business can spend on Advertising
Create more level playing field

Anoox non-profit Social Search Network, toward our GOAL of delivering much lower cost of Advertising for Small Businesses, does something quite unique when it comes to sale of Advertising. That is we create a "level playing field" for Small Businesses, by putting Limits on how much any business can spend on Advertising per Month, to Maximum of $1000 per Month.

This is a very Important step toward the GOAL of delivering much lower cost Advertising to Small businesses. Because whereas VC Wall Street backed firms have Multi Million Dollars per Month Advertising budgets, Small Businesses have small Advertising budgets, and often with $50 to $1000 per Month in limits. And hence as a Small Business you cannot possibly compete with Big (VC Wall Street backed) Businesses with Multi-Million Dollar Advertising budgets on the cost of Pay-per-Click (PPC) Advertising. So were we to accept limitless Big business Advertising, as our Wall Street peers do, then as a Small Business you would continuously be on a disadvantage for getting high ranking for your Ads for a given Keyword compared to Big Businesses, which is what the situation is for Small Businesses when Advertising on Google™, Facebook™, etc., as you can see here, with (for example) the highest PPC charges on Google for "Web Site Hosting" being $55 per click, which PPC charges of course only Big (Wall Street) Firms can afford, whereas the same Keyword on Anoox non-profit Social Search Network has the maximum PPC price of about $1.00 which is more than 95% less than what Google charges for this same Keywords, exactly because we do not accept Big (VC Wall Street backed) Business Advertising budgets. So NO Big Businesses can come to Anoox, as they can on Google™, Facebook™, etc., and bid the price of any Keyword Ads on Anoox to levels where only other Big Businesses can pay such PPC charges. Hence by sacrificing how much Money we can make from Big Businesses, something that only Anoox does as the only non-profit Search engine & Social network in the World, we are delivering a much more "level playing field" to Small Businesses, resulting in much lower cost of Advertising for Small Businesses.
