Includes clustered search results plus sponsored listings; creates revenue streams for portals.
Vivísimo, a creator of software to search and cluster information, yesterday introduced Vivísimo Affiliate Solutions, a combination of clustered search results and sponsored listings.
The company says that the program is tailored for small and medium-sized Web site owners. The clustered results feed combined with sponsored listings offer them the opportunity to realize the revenue-generating potential of their sites. The clustered search feed is sourced from Vivísimo's Clusty while the sponsored listings are sourced from Ask Jeeves and other providers.
"Most Web sites and portals are seeking ways to differentiate themselves in a very competitive environment," said Ed Brunins, senior director of Web Business Development for Vivísimo. "In a matter of days, Vivísimo can provide an Affiliate Solution with little if any up-front cost. The solution can turn existing Web traffic into a lucrative revenue stream, while simultaneously improving the user experience with clustered search results that match the site's existing look and feel."
