killerstartups.com, a popular startup review site, recently reviewed our site. And this is what they said.

Boostria takes the concept of word of mouth marketing and gives it the kind of boost that only the Social Web makes possible.

 

In general terms, what users of this new marketing tool can do is to invite people who have hired their services to write a comment in which the better points of the company are highlighted. These comments are kept purposefully short - they can include no more than 200 characters and two pictures. And once they have been written and posted, Boostria takes care of spreading and promoting them all over specifically-selected sites and blogs (IE, sites and blogs that have something to do with what the actual company that is being reviewed does).

In this way, a true network of recommendations can be built. People who are just getting started will no doubt find such an alternative to other forms of promotion appealing. It is not that it could replace any of these, but as far as complementing such services go, Boostria is more than fulfilling.

It is an intelligent development of the concept of word of mouth, and one that suits the dynamics of the Internet just perfectly.

How can Boostria help bloggers

Many bloggers are curious:

How exactly can Boostria help me with my blogging? What can it do for me? In what aspects is it different from other ad sites?

Well, Boostria is definitely no ordinary ad site. In fact it actually has four main points which make it unique and interesting for bloggers:

1. It makes your blog more interesting. Even though we are a word-of-mouth advertising service, we do not encourage many testimonial blogs, simply because they are unverifiable. We do encourage blogs that are interesting, fun-to-read, and might even brighten up your day! Many times, people in a good mood are much more likely to click on your blog and help you make your money.

2. It makes your site more organic. Boostria mixes both sponsored and unsponsored messages into our widgets. This way, from the reader’s point-of-view, your blog is publishing entertaining stories. They can see that some are sponsored.

3. It adds more traffic to your site. Ad publishing is all about targeting. Google AdSense targets ads based on content, but we target ads based on content, social influences, and various other factors. This way, a booster who left comments to your blog will have a better way to show their boostings, since people will be interested. In other words, we encourage boosters to leave comments on your blogs. Since blog comments are pretty viral, this will make your site more viewed and bring high quality traffic to it.

4. It adds more social elements to your site. Every blog on this site is backed up by a real person, so this person will most likely share their social profile in places such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc… This will make your site much more social!

And, as always, if you have any comments, suggestions, or constructive criticism, please let us know. Your feedback will always be appreciated and taken into consideration.

Thank you.
