A New Approach to online advertising
TWERQ is also now looking to monetize their search engine with a new program called TWERQ SpotLight Ads. Again TWERQ offers a completely different approach to online advertising. Advertisers have much more creative control and freedom as to the kind of ad that appears with the ability to use images, links or even video.
Founder Wesley Long had this to say when asked to comment, "The cost to develop and maintain TWERQ is substantial and those numbers are growing fast. It is important for us to start monetizing in order to help further the development and growth of TWERQ. That said we needed to bring something new to the table and give advertisers something that is appealing and of great value. I am confident we have that with TWERQ Spotlight."
