| schestowitz | Good Afternoon Roy, | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | I like that Schestowitz.com offers a wide range of services and is able to create custom software solutions. It's | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | great to see you help businesses | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | with their software needs. | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | We are 3 university friends who have developed a new approach to search marketing and I wanted to ask if this might be of interest to you. | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | The basic idea is to add your brand as a new autocomplete suggestion in the search engine, so users see Dr. Roy Schestowitz while they are typing “amazon aws report abuse” for instance (other keywords are possible as well). This is what it would look like: | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | 🔍 amazon aws report abuse 🔍 amazon aws report abuse recommendation dr. roy schestowitz | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | 🔍 amazon aws report abuse providers | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | 🔍 amazon aws report abuse comparison | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | 🔍 amazon aws report abuse online | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | 🔍 amazon aws report abuse test | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | This is different from conventional online marketing approaches, such as SEO or paid ads, | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | which are often ineffective and too expensive, because everyone is using them. | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | AutoSuggest provides an instrument | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | to connect with potential clients at the earliest point possible: while they’re still typing. Our service is an effective means to | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | position your brand and get additional traffic and sales. Costs only occur when your suggestion | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | has been successfully listed in | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | the autocomplete function and provides value to you. | Jan 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz | Therefore | Jan 24 13:02 |
| schestowitz | , I would like to invite you to take a look at our service, either by visiting our website, scheduling a call, or emailing me. | Jan 24 13:02 |
| schestowitz | I would be delighted to introduce AutoSuggest to you. In case of any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. | Jan 24 13:02 |

| schestowitz | <p>Fun fact! When I wrote the mozilla.org web site, I designed it to have a "source" directory that contained just the document bodies, and a Makefile generated an output directory that wrapped the headers and menus and such around that to emit the static web site that was actually served. The output directory was not checked into the source control archive, obviously, so I don't have a copy of that. So... I | Jan 24 14:45 |
| schestowitz | dug up the old CVS archive, checked out those old web site source revs, and then I had to run that website-generating perl script that I wrote 25 years ago.</p> | Jan 24 14:45 |
