Thumbar to Offer Social Alternative to Search Engines

PARKLAND, Fla. - Nov. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- Thumbar.com has launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise $350,000 to build an innovative social alternative to SEO and search engines to generate visitor traffic to blogs and websites for free, through an interactive platform driven by user feedback.

Currently, when new bloggers and webmasters aren’t getting enough visitors to their sites, they turn to SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to generate traffic through Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Unfortunately, instead of focusing on their core passions, many soon find themselves consumed by SEO, adding keywords, submitting to search engines, posting on other blogs, and they may even consider hiring SEO experts to get noticed in the big three search engines. Within a few months, having spent perhaps $50 to $100 or more on SEO without results, 98% of bloggers and startups abandon their online efforts and nobody ever knows what unique products, services, or insights they had to offer.

To empower creative and entrepreneurial people on the Internet with the exposure their efforts deserve, Thumbar will provide an alternative to conquering search engines with SEO. Thumbar will free bloggers and entrepreneurs to focus 100% of their time and energy on their online projects, rather than on promoting them, while enabling their content to directly attract visitors through social feedback.

Even as Internet usage is increasing, content distribution is contracting and centralizing into social silos like Facebook and Twitter, and media silos like YouTube and Tumblr. By contrast, Thumbar is a starting point, not an end point for finding content. It is a social platform that drives outward interaction, helping websites everywhere get discovered.
