Make a Mozilla/Firefox Search Engine

Posted by Peter_D on Tue, 10/03/2006 - 18:54Firefox Marketing Ideas

Well, here is another idea of mine and i think this one could be a large promoter of forefox worldwide.

I say we get a firefox search engine (like google) and have a few advertising spots to pay for it. Then we could have it all jazzed up with fireofx links wherever we could put them!

One person finds out then tells there friends and it will eventually become really big! This could be a major promoter of firefox and if there are enough advert banner spots ect. then it may make some extra cash to

So what do you think?

Google

Google is already the Firefox search engine: http://www.google.ee/firefox/. Or do you mean a search engine to search for Firefox stuff, like this one (also based on Google).

Personally I don't think Mozilla should spread it's efforts into this field, especially as Google is already a partner and Mozilla is earning money from Google. And I expect more than they would if they had their own search engine.

That's cool, thanks for the reference to the Google Co-op.

For the record, please spell Firefox as one word. :)

Google doing more

Google is actually paying people to get them to promote Firefox.

but it's not highly publicized. they also had a firefox graphic on the front page for a short time.

All it would take is just one text ad on the front page for a while and that should really begin the browser war. However, i think we are much better served laying down a foundation based on 'viral' marketing and loyal users.

But...

This is only the start page press any link and it will go to ordinary google. i am talking about making an actual firefox search engine.
