<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Verdana">A couple of months ago we registered our product
AQuA at Asterisk Exchange. We were told that it collects like 14K visitors
per month and knowing interest to our product from Asterisk community we
have calculated a certain super-mini-minimal % of visitors coming from
Asterisk Exchange to our web site... Here comes the funny thing - there was
no traffic increase since then, there were no referral visist from Asterisk
Exchange... We are getting something a bit less than 100 product inquiries a
month and NONE has ever mentioned that learnt about AQuA from Asterisk
Exchange... </font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Verdana">My question is: have we just wasted $2500 for being
listed there? Is Asterisk Exchange some kind of bubble? Unfortunately we
never got response from the people who sold us this service :-)</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Verdana">Thanks and cheers,<br>Vallu</font></div>

<div><br>Not much for due diligence are you? <br><br>I would have asked for a
per click pay scheme. I have never heard of Asterisk Exchange but it is
a good name. I am sure it gets alot of hits as <a href="http://www.asteriskhelpdesk.com" target="_blank">www.asteriskhelpdesk.com</a> does for
me. I haven't done anything with it for years but there are thousands of
unique hits.<br><br>Give me $150 and I will put your banner up on the
site. I do get quite a few phone calls but I have not seen any action on
the find an expert part of the site. That may be because I wasn't
looking to turn a profit so I let people post direct contact
information.<br><br>BTW, this is scary "<font face="Verdana">AQuA/NIQA/Asterisk
VQM", I probably wouldn't click on a link like that.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Steve
