ACME People Search stay ahead of the recession by giving away free search engines to affiliate marketers.

Online, February 21, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Despite the current gloom and doom and to their competitors frustration Acme people search seems to grow from strength to strength. Using an approach that has raised many eyebrows within the affiliate marketing and people search industries, Acme continues to give away its people search engines for free. Given that companies offering the same or similar service charge it begs the question why?
Well it appears Acme are hoping that this strategy will pay off in the long term as people brand their engine and monetize it. Acme hopes it's system that includes 9 income streams that can be integrated in the search engine will eventually convince people to join and pay the $29.95 monthly fee. However this remains optional and the engine is free and works performing as well or even out performing many paid rivals. To date 350,00 engines have been given away each with a database of 300,000 and which is updated regularly.
David Goundry an Acme member, who took his engine about a year ago said," It's a good foundation to build your business around, it works and it's free." However he did go on to caution that, " to make a business out of it you'll need to monetize it and learn how to market it to a specific niche.The Acme forum helps people who have no affiliate marketing skills."
To give away anything in the current business climate takes courage; Acme obviously are banking that their generosity will pay dividends.
