I sent materials, so my message is waiting for moderator's approval, but you 
are welcome to send me your offers for web promotional activities. Thanks!

P. S. Steve... it was hard to imagine doing any due diligence on a Digium owned 
web site :)

    Hi,

    A couple of months ago we registered our product AQuA at Asterisk Exchange. 
We were told that it collects like 14K visitors per month and knowing interest 
to our product from Asterisk community we have calculated a certain 
super-mini-minimal % of visitors coming from Asterisk Exchange to our web 
site... Here comes the funny thing - there was no traffic increase since then, 
there were no referral visist from Asterisk Exchange... We are getting 
something a bit less than 100 product inquiries a month and NONE has ever 
mentioned that learnt about AQuA from Asterisk Exchange... 

    My question is: have we just wasted $2500 for being listed there? Is 
Asterisk Exchange some kind of bubble? Unfortunately we never got response from 
the people who sold us this service :-)

    Thanks and cheers,

  Not much for due diligence are you? 

  I would have asked for a per click pay scheme.  I have never heard of 
Asterisk Exchange but it is a good name.  I am sure it gets alot of hits as 
www.asteriskhelpdesk.com does for me.  I haven't done anything with it for 
years but there are thousands of unique hits.

  Give me $150 and I will put your banner up on the site.  I do get quite a few 
phone calls but I have not seen any action on the find an expert part of the 
site.  That may be because I wasn't looking to turn a profit so I let people 
post direct contact information.

  BTW, this is scary "AQuA/NIQA/Asterisk VQM", I probably wouldn't click on a 
link like that.

  Thanks,
  Steve T
