“Awesome Dot Hop”

Kim S.
3/3/16

Dot Hop has been a very effective tool for our on-line business. It has been very beneficial in growing our business and our rep, Pam Schiess, does an awesome job of handling our account, and babysitting me too! She is always helpful, whether it's recommending new key words, or just making sure that our key words are funded in the most profitable way. I always appreciate her advise and look forward to continued business, and success, with Dot Hop and Pam.

“Total scam...”

DotHop is a total scam. They purchase (ex. 1000 hits- $10) worthless traffic and run it through their own server to make it look like real traffic. It's all smoke and mirrors... Same company as Redzee and same owners... Don't be fooled...

Been in ecommerce business for almost 20 years and DotHop is by far the best bang for your buck when it comes to adword campaigns. They drive a lot of traffic to our site and have proven to be very cost affective. The customer care is awesome as well! We work very closely with DotHop and review our campaigns on a monthly basis working one on one with the same person for ways to improve our campaigns regularly. For todays marketing strategies, DotHop is a must!

I have to say my experience with Pam at DotHop went above and beyond expectations. She is considerate of my time and never pushes me to make changes or add funding on her schedule, but always on mine. When I was uncertain of what DotHop was doing for me, she walked me through Google Analytics to show me step-by-step how DotHop was driving traffic to my site. If all online vendors of advertising and marketing services were as helpful and considerate as her it would be a dream.

REDZ and now DotHop have done a very good job for us in getting more traffic to our website and are much cheaper than AdWords. From what we can tell, the traffic is on target. Customer service is outstanding. I get answers immediately. The only thing I've asked for is better reporting processes. Hopefully as they grow this will become more sophisticated.

I've used this resource as my secret source for getting low CPC's within my industry. Compared to Adwords DotHop gives me a good ROI. Service is very courteous and insightful as well. Thanks again.

Simplicity Sofas' reliance on "extreme" customer service as its primary marketing tool has been the subject of dozens of articles world-wide. We have received multiple awards in this field.

So, when we encounter superior customer service from our vendors and suppliers we recognize the value of what we are receiving.

Pam Schiess, our DotHop account manager, has consistently provided us with a level of "above and beyond" customer service excellence that we encounter far too rarely in the business world.

I really appreciate the personal attention Jay devotes to enhancing my website. His deep knowledge of the intricacies of website design and traffic analysis is exposing my company to a much broader segment of the market. I've not worked with anyone who has his depth of knowledge using analytics to monitor traffic to my website.

Dothop allows me to play with keywords as much as I want, delivers a great value and surprisingly high click-rate (3+ 5 at the moment.)
We're a very seasonal company and our budget fluctuates accordingly. None of that matters as our account always gets the attention it needs by our rep, regardless of how much we're spending.

Dothop has been easy to work with for our advertising needs. Pam Schiess calls me with updates and reports on how our terms are doing. The special offers you have are always welcome to help stretch my advertising dollars! Much better than Google!

Ms. Jennifer Nguyen has been an exemplary person to work with…always. I can count on her to take great care of my two campaigns, listen to what my needs are, make good suggestions, and then implement them in a timely fashion. She performs with great attention to details, timeliness, and customer courtesy with just the right amount of friendliness and professionalism. She is patient, polite, and the person I would like to work with for a long time.

My friend from college told me I needed to try this new search engine, I was hesitant at first but was pleasantly surprised when the site did NOT try to sneak in a bunch of cluttery toolbars or other apps. I use a touch-screen laptop and am a resident DJ in my city and I must say I've never had so much fun using a search engine! It's like it was made for my computer. I hope they keep with it, definitely takes some getting used to but totally delivers on a new way to search the web!

I have been using Dothop in my ad campaign for about 6 months now and have seen a very good ROI! Much better advisability than my PPC campaign was giving.

I will continue to increase my Dothop budget as results keep coming in postive.

My sign-up experience with Pam was terrific. She went through everything in detail and encouraged me to call anytime with questions. I felt very comfortable talking with her.

As the marketing manager for AmericanMachineTools.com, I am very concerned about your switching to dothop from RedZ. I do not understand why you want to throw away years worth of marketing the catchy name RedZ for a weird sounding alternative like Dothop? Please research the former search engine FindWhat.com and their change to Miva, and hopefully learn from their mistakes before you proceed further with the name dothop.

Thank for your concern. Understand that RedZ is still live and will continue to be. We will over time be able to see which one gets bigger as we can see them side by side.

Let Pam Scheiss know that she is a blessing in disguise. She calls me when the $ is low and moves the cash around to keep getting the clicks.

Renamed Scam Site from RedZee to DotHop. No one uses this search engine. Ask 100 people you see today if they have ever heard of this place and no one will.

Been using this search engine on and off for several years now. Vast improvements have been made since then. Being a Web Designer, I appreciate seeing the front page of my site on the search engine, since I know how much time and effort goes into creating a great looking website. I believe they have a local cache system on their servers, the screenshots of the websites load very fast now as compared in the past. Advertising is very cost effective on this search engine as compared to others and CTR has been considerably higher. Most likely due to the Image of the actual site being there for potential customers to see.

What I liked the most about DotHop.com is being able to preview the webpage with the side scrolling before clicking on to the page. Using Apple based products, I am personally used to sliding through images or text-based pages with ease. Having this feature on a search engine is quite clever, keeping up with current trends. I also like how the search page is not so ad-heavy. It is clean, simple, yet sleek. I may use this search engine more often ;)

Top of the line 5 Gold Stars, excellent results using DotHop, I have been using DotHop now on a regular everyday basis for over 4 years. It is far superior to google ad words. My cost per click is about 80% less expensive than using google ad words. Great company, my sales rep. Works closely with me to insure that I get results from my campaigns.

Pam Schiess took the risk out of Dothop. We've experienced an above average increase in sales recently. I wouldn't have had the confidence to give Dothop an order without my account manager taking the time to analyze my Google Analytics with me to help me account for the referrals, explain the opportunity and continue to follow up with me week after week.

If I would have to describe Pam Schiess and her marvelous ability to encourage and develop my ppc campaign I would have to say that my life has improved greatly as well as my bank account. She has gone overboard in research and education for me. I would and will be lost without her. I trust her and that is very rare in the tech sector.

Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.

From the business

Mobile Search is not just a small segment for search engines anymore it is now the fastest growing with over 60% of all searches starting from smart phones! We all know that Google has been the undisputed champ in search but as searches move from the desktop to the smartphone will Google and its text based look hold on to its crown in the coming years?
Originally passed off as a novelty, image based search is now being taken very serious as a key player because of the smartphone. Everything on a smart phone is visual why wouldn't search be. Visual based searching on mobile devices creates a wonderful user experience and hands down blows away the over a decade old boring text search.
Silicon Valley startup Dothop is leading the way delivering a superior mobile search experience with large images of web pages, videos, music and more that people can flip through, similar to paging through a magazine. The advantage of visual search is that websites are presented in an innovative visual page flow rather than in a list of static blue links and can be sifted through with only one hand. The ability to see a web page before clicking through provides a more qualified click connecting people to what they are looking for faster.
Dot hop has recently acquired the patents on image based search and has plans to take it mainstream in the next few years. They are gaining new users everyday and growing fast.

Business History

With offices in Florida & California, DotHop plans to become the leader in visual online mobile search. Since 2013, DotHop has been building the most user friendly mobile search app that will be available on apple and droid phones in the Fall of 2014. The browser version will be available this summer.

In 2014 DotHop acquired United States Patent no. 8,549,436 and is now the only Visual Search Engine with Patent Rights.
