<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>

<br></blockquote><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">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 T<br></font></div></div>
