			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A teeny-tiny Website has entered the big bad world of search engines.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s called <a href="http://www.clickhunt.net/" target="_blank"><strong>ClickHunt.net</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Like I, you&#8217;ve probably never heard of it &#8211; and you probably never will.</p>
<p>ClickHunt bills itself as an alternative for small business owners who can&#8217;t afford to advertise with search engines like Google or Bing.</p>
<p>How?</p>
<p>Through a little incentive package.</p>
<p>ClickHunt goes after small businesses by offering them a $100 sign up credit.</p>
<p>Simply sign up, get the credit, and start promoting your business.</p>
<p>Curious&#8230; I checked it out myself.</p>
<p>Like Google&#8217;s homepage, ClickHunt has no frills.</p>
<p>Users are given categories in which to conduct their search, and the results are mediocre at best.  Links open up in a new window and I didn&#8217;t see a hint of advertising.</p>
<p>Granted ClickHunt is brand new &#8211; so I won&#8217;t be too hard on the website&#8217;s appearance and functionality.</p>
<p>I do, however, have a piece of advice for the small business that created the website, Accurate Message Center, LLC.</p>
<p>When promoting your site, take the time to proof read your <a href="http://www.officialwire.com/main.php?action=posted_news&amp;rid=34523&amp;catid=6" target="_blank"><strong>press release</strong></a>. Or, better yet, spend the extra $100 and hire someone who can actually write a complete, grammatically-correct sentence.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s ashame.</p>
<p>I think ClickHunt could have had potential &#8211; especially in the small business advertising niche.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this site shot itself in the foot before it even entered the race.</p>
