Last night BBVA Open Talent made public the list of projects that qualify for the final stage. ShareUsers is among them. Within 45 days of competition, we have won a total of 3193 votes that have left us in tenth place and therefore we have passed automatically to the finals of the competition. We want to thank you for the confidence placed in us with your votes.

There are 20 finalists who will opt for the prizes of the competition. The best prizes are three investments of up to 100,000 euros each for projects that the jury considers the most interesting. An award that can be used to initiate a project on track.

The next step will be a project presentation to the Investment Committee of the BBVA Group.

ShareUsers, a free alternative to AdWords

February 8th, 2010 by admin

If you are sick and tired of investing money in AdWords and then to see as it “fades away” in the twinkling of an eye, ShareUsers is your perfect choice. As it is user-friendly and easy to install, it will improve your web page traffic at all levels without spending a single dollar (or euro). It’s completely free!

ShareUsers is a free service for webmasters and bloggers who want to increase the quantity and quality of visits to their websites.

Thanks to this new application, you can choose the keywords you want in order to receive new visitors and also those terms for publishing output links in your website. And if you don’t find the right ones you can create them by yourself. It’s quite contrary to Adwords that chooses, in a semi-automatic way, those websites where your links are going to appear; in this case it’s all up to you to exactly choose under what terms you want to appear. You have full control on everything.

ShareUsers is based on an equitable credit system: for every user that you send to the community you will get another user’s visit. This credit system avoids you the burden of having to pay for your new visits and gives you the required flexibility to be able to exploit the capacities your websites have. For example, you can be earning some credits to simultaneously liberate them in a concrete campaign, to use a website to generate credits and another one to spend them, etc.

As soon as possible, we will publish new functionalities, such as the possibility of choosing those specific websites from which you want to receive visitors or not, in order to have a punctual and exact control and to improve, even more, the quality of your visits. Also, we will add some new and better tools for integrating the links, as we discover your favorite platforms on the way (we already have a plugin for Wordpress and a generic widget in Javascript code).

We are still in beta testing phase but the service is already operative and we already have a few websites and blogs working in our community. If you want to try it, you only need to ask us for an invitation and we will send it to you as soon as possible.

ShareUsers is present in the BBVA Open Talent

January 25th, 2010 by admin

At the same time we released ShareUsers Private Beta we decided to present ShareUsers to the BBVA Open Talent challenge, an initiative to encourage innovative projects and support their entrepreneurs.

The program’s primary objective is the promotion of projects and services in initial phases of development, innovative and technologically based. Top rated projects will receive great prizes for young companies, as well as media coverage. But the real “sweet” is a potential investment, as business partner, up to € 100,000 by the BBVA Group. BBVA is the biggest spanish bank.

The second edition of BBVA Open Talent began on November 1 with the inclusion of projects. On January 1, after an initial screening, the voting phase began. Now we ask for your cooperation and support, since ShareUsers must get as much votes as possible in this phase. Only you have to do is press on the “Vote” button (at the ShareUsers home page, lower-right corner of the Screen). Thank you.

Forget about visitors loss by using ShareUsers

January 12th, 2010 by admin

One of the matters that webmasters give further thought, which our users have remarked on, is the visitor loss or the “bounce rate” according to the terminology used by Google Analytics. Although it could seem that ShareUsers’ links in your website open the exit door to your users, in fact it is not like that since the system rewards you for sent visits.

Several users have expressed their concern for having to include output links in their websites, which at first sight, can seem detrimental to them. But let’s think about the advantages that those links offer:

1. Every “lost” visitor will turn into a new user. The ShareUsers system is equitable, as you already know: for every user that you send us you will get a visit in your website or blog. So you are not losing anything: if a visitor leaves your page through one of the ShareUsers’ links, you will obtain a credit which later allows you to get another user. If you “lose” a visit by means of a direct link… we cannot guarantee that it will go back.

2. We can choose the topic we want to send to our users. By means of the subscription to output keywords, we have full control on the topics and types of websites that we would like to link to our page. Thus, a webmaster is free to choose whether she or he wants to send her or his visitors to the competition or not.

3. You obtain high quality visits, related to the subject matter of your web. According to the previous point, if we join the possibility of choosing the input keywords (the ones allowing your website to receive a visit) we manage to improve the quality of visits that come to us: we are “losing” users who are interested in other topics but also we are “gaining” visits that are interested in the contents our website offers.

4. You choose where to place the links. We provide you several tools which pretend not only to make your task lighter once you link to ShareUsers, but also give you the flexibility of placing them where you prefer the most.

That’s the reason why, ShareUsers is an excellent alternative to other advertising systems which require great outlays in order to get high quality visitors.

If you have any doubt, leave us a comment right here or do not hesitate to contact us.

ShareUsers in private beta version

January 10th, 2010 by admin

Last December 24th (On Christmas) ShareUsers came out of its shell to the outside world. We have worked a lot, during many months, in order to obtain a stable and user-friendly version of the application. Nowadays, we have decided that the best way of guaranteeing a high quality service for our users is by allowing just a few websites to use the application and to progressively expand the number of registered websites and blogs.

So now, for registering in ShareUsers you should have an invitation. If you want to obtain one, send us an email in which you should mention what website or websites you want to add to the ShareUsers community (URL are required). Thus, we will be progressively giving our invitations and we will be able to guarantee the stability of the system.

To be one of the first ShareUsers’ user is also to be at an advantage. In addition to the fact in which you will become more familiar with the application than new users who register in, you can be the one who “creates” new keywords, so you will be at real advantages in order to monitor the concrete field on which every word operates. For example, if someone adds the word “design“ and defines it as “the appearance of a website”, she or he would have left out of the definition of design which is applied to visual arts or the industry. If you would have a website related to design in general terms, you would have to redefine the term with a “tag” that distinguishes when one speaks about a design that is focused on the web and when in general, for instance “design (general)” or “design (art)”.

And these are not the unique advantages, there are many other you will discover as you go along.
