Bitclave -The decentralised search engine

Could a Decentralised Search Engine Threaten Google?

As Cryptocurrency continues to grow it is starting to change the landscape of how we view the world. New companies are using the blockchain for so many new and exciting projects, opening a new world of prospects that we never thought possible until now. The decentralization of currency and creation of the blockchain will now allow you to earn revenue without particularly doing anything for it. We are entering the era of redistributed wealth.

I’ve got a few questions for you to think about. Firstly how much revenue do you think Google makes in a year? Also, how do they earn that revenue?

Google’s revenue in 2016 was $89.5 Billion dollars. They produced $79.4 Billion of their revenue (88.72%) through advertising.

Using the blockchain a new company is offering a decentralised search engine that will cut out the middle man. You get payed directly from the advertisers for your searches.

BitClave is a decentralised search engine which provides a bridge straight from the advertisers to the people searching and buying their goods. Opening up a new source of revenue for people by doing something we have always done.

Companies that advertise on regular search engines like Google have to pay a lot of money per click for the keyword that is related to their product or service. It essentially runs like an auction. The Company who is willing to pay the most is ranked 1st, the 2nd highest paying company is ranked 2nd and so on.

We go on about our daily lives with our location settings on, making our purchases and basically telling Google about where we visit, what we like to purchase and at what time we like to purchase it. We are giving away our data for free.

Data is gold dust for a company. Data allows them to target their ads to the ideal customers who are most likely to buy their product. Why waste money throwing your advertisements out to anyone when you can show the people who are most likely to purchase? Data also allows a company to scrutinise their selling processes and make adjustments accordingly to make the sales process as smooth and efficient as possible.

BitClave uses this data in a different way. When an advertiser is looking for it’s target customer and you happen to be that customer an activity ledger between you and the Advertiser is initiated when you click their advertisement. Bitclave puts you in control of your own data.

When you make a purchase you are rewarded in CAT, BitClave’s native Cryptocurrency. You can save your CAT or withdraw it at any time and trade it for the currency of your choice. The beauty is that your savings can obviously grow in value as the company grows in popularity and the value of Cat increases over time.
