ACQUIREO ADDS TAG-BASED SEARCH, HELPING SELLERS WRITE BETTER BUSINESS-FOR-SALE ADS

Fontana, CA – Acquireo.com – Online businesses-for-sale listing marketplace Acquireo announced today they have added tag-based search as a new way for buyers to find businesses for sale and sellers to improve their online listings. “Tags are keywords, and they are displayed together on a web page in a big box called a tag cloud,” explained Acquireo’s Chief Technology Officer Tim Eisenhauer. “Their font sizes vary depending on the frequency of that keyword in all business listings. Tag-based search lets you pull up narrow slivers of information that search boxes cannot. And you click rather than type. It’s more precise and faster. You can even find the most frequent keyword across all information just by scanning a tag cloud: it will be the biggest.”

They are also important marketing and advertising tools in helping business brokers and sellers, added Bill Henthorn, Acquireo’s Director of Marketing. “Tag clouds tell you the relative frequency of terms already being used, which you use to craft your business-for-sale listing copy more effectively. You always want to use the words buyers want to read, but don’t always know which ones. With tag clouds based on actual keywords used in searches, buyers tell you which ones.”

Acquireo’s purpose with tags is not to add more bells and whistles. “There is a rapidly growing number of business buyers who want newer ways to find these businesses, as part of the greater trend of people demanding that their information be customized to their own style," stated Joe Podian, the Company’s CEO. In April 2006, we added dynamically-generated RSS feeds to cover every possible search combination. Adding tag-based search continues our commitment to deliver new technology that makes this online marketplace more powerful and effective.

Tim Eisenhauer added, “As a business that delivers content in the form of new listings of businesses for sale, Acquireo feels it has a responsibility to go beyond the search box, and always to seek out and implement ways that deliver content when, where, and how people want it.”

The nature of marketplaces, and how to connect seller with buyer, is always in flux. “So we will continue to add technologies earlier than other industry participants,” stated Henthorn.

“And we have much more to add,” hinted Podian.
