Success Story

The story of SearchCactus.com, the leading pay-per-click search engine. SearchCactus.com came a long way to its success, and now serves more than 400 000 US members.

Once SearchCactus.com was only an idea. Someone would even say it was a crazy idea. David Weinberg and Aaron Weitzman, the owners of SearchCactus.com happened to have Zone3000 team carry out their project. It was quite complex for a small team, however in 5 months the studio came up with a powerful database-driven system, which boasted superb design and extensive functionality.

"We had gone a long way until we stopped on a certain design template," says Veniamin Zolotukhin, the leading designer of the team. "But the result was worth it."

SearchCactus popularity grew fast. In fact, the site owners soon had to re-work the site policy to prohibit ineffective site membership. Zone3000 have always been willing to help when there is a need to change some aspects of the site functionality or to modify the programming structure. "They are very reliable and always available for emergency situations," Aaron Weitzman comments.

Today SearchCactus.com is among the world's 50 most popular search engines (according to www.top9.com information), and it is still growing and introducing new features to its customers.
