1. What is Dirgio ?

Dirgio is a dynamic search engine that allows you to advertise and gain full control of where and how your links are displayed. Links on Dirgio are referred to as Estates. Dirgio search filters its results based on tag phrases.

When somone searches the tag "Car Parts", Dirgio will retrieve results of all Estates under the following phrases:

Car Parts
Car Part
Cars Parts
Cars Part
Part Car
Part Cars
Parts Car
Parts Cars

If you added an Estate under "Car Part" and someone searches for "Car" or "Cars", your Estate will NOT be displayed. This allows surfers to retrieve the most qualitative and targetted results based on their search queries.

Dirgio is fully dynamic! Estate values fluctuate on a daily basis. Every day, Dirgio advertisers and money makers compete to seal the best Estates for their tag phrases. This further ensures that all of the content is up to date and of highest quality.

2. How does Dirgio work ?

There are three types of Dirgio user perspectives:

Surfers - Use Dirgio as a search engine
Advertisers - Use Dirgio to drive traffic to their websites
Money Makers - Use Dirgio to profit off of buying and selling Estates as well as drive some traffic to their websites

Suppose we are targetting the keyword "Car Parts" in the following scenarios.

User Type	Action	Cost	Traffic	Profit
Surfer	searches keyword "Car Parts" and retrieves best results matching his/her query	-	-	-

Advertiser	adds a new Estate to "Car Parts"	Free!		-
Advertiser	upgrades his/her Estate on "Car Parts" by buying an open Estate with a higher rank			-
Advertiser	improves rank of his/her Estate on "Car Parts" by raising the value of the Estate			-
Advertiser	extends the contract of his/her Estate for tag "Car Parts"			-

Money Maker	adds a new Estate for the tag "Car Parts", unlocks the Estate and sells it	Free!
Money Maker	purcheses an open Estate for the tag "Car Parts", unlocks it and sells it

The reason why Dirgio works is because all of the user perspectives are working together. Surfers are improving the core values of the Estates by visiting the links that the Advertisers and Money Makers are providing. Money Makers are giving Advertisers a chance to snatch higher rank Estates by unlocking them and putting them up for sale. Advertisers spend money on Money Maker's Estates in order to get better Estate placement for less cost.

3. What are Dirgio points ?

Dirgio points are used to buy open Estates, raise values of your Estates and extend your Estate contracts. Each Dirgio point is worth $0.10 USD in real money. You can buy Dirgio points or cash out your Dirgio points for real money via your control panel.

4. What is an Estate ?

An Estate is simply a link that you add to our directory. We call it an Estate, because it is a dynamic slot whose value fluctuates depending on its demand. It is more of a dynamic link that is controlled by the internet market.

5. What is an Estate's value, interest and contract ?

Value - A value of an Estate determines the base cost of the Estate. All search results are ordered by Estate value. If it pays off for the Advertiser or Money Maker to aquire an Estate for a higher value or raise their own Estate, they will do so in order to improve the rank of the search result and drive more traffic.

Interest - Interest determines how much more the Advertiser or Money Maker will have to pay on top of the Estate's base cost in order to aquire it. The interest of an Estate may increase or decrease depending on the traffic the Estate is getting.

Contract - A contract of an Estate states that the Estate cannot be purchased from the user that owns it within the period of the contract. A contract of an Estate may be extended or cancelled at any time by the user that owns the Estate.

6. How do I improve my Estate rank ?

An Estate rank can be improved by either upgrading the Estate or raising the value of the Estate. Upgrading an Estate means purchasing a higher rank Estate under the same Tag as the current Estate. Ofcourse, in order to do that, there must be a higher rank Estate that is open and available for sale. You can also improve your search results rank by raising the value of your Estate. This is more expensive than upgrading an Estate, but can be done at any time without having to wait for a higher rank Estate to open up.

7. How do I extend my Estate contract ?

To extend the contract of your Estate, go to your Estate, click on "Raise Value and/or Extend Contract" and select the number of days you would like to extend the Estate for. The cost is determined depending on the current value of the Estate and the raise value.

8. How do I increase my Estate interest ?

In order to increase your Estate interest, you need to increase the amount of traffic your Estate is getting. Many might think that rank is the only factor determining how many times somone will click on your result. This is NOT true! There are other factors that play along with what the click through rate of your Estate will be.

Some of these factors are :

targetted keywords in title, description, url
keyword density
keyword relevance
