Excellent analysis my friend! This is the type of post that people should be reading! We are in for great things from SEEK!
SEEK is on the eve of becoming an internet destination...it won't make us filthy rich overnight (won't make me rich ever, because of how small my position is). SEEK is, however, something special. I have never held a stock like it before, and it genuinely makes me feel bad for everyone with a vested interest in it, whether it's the flippers or the longs, that the pps is still as low as it is, because this company, despite some shortcomings, is exactly what a publicly traded company should be. I believe very strongly that everyone holding here will be rewarded handsomely. Only time will tell for sure, but I am confident enough in the what I anticipate will be a long period of gain for SEEK to make this bold claim...whether in a few days or weeks/months, this stock WILL BE trading at the levels we have been hoping for...pennies will be in the rearview mirror!!!!! GO SEEK!!! I genuinely wish all of you the best...and btw, I will throw a party for all of us WHEN SEEK hits $1.00!!
SEEK...and ye shall find!!!
Not that it matters, but more people in India speak English than you think. I worked with groups from India for several years, and I don't speak anything but English.
Anyway, GO SEEK!!!
Amen sister! I wish I had more posts to be in on the conversation, but the fact is the ads are running. I expect to see it soon myself, and believe the people that posted last night have seen the ads.
GO SEEK!!
Hey all,
I have been away from the board for awhile...anyone care to fill me in on the past month+? I have been focusing on another board, so haven't been keeping tabs here. I have a very minimal position that I bought in @ .008, so there hasn't been too much incentive to do anything other than check pps every now and then.
I want this to pay off just as badly as all of you. Please stay rational.
I believe that this is a legitimate opportunity, but I am also, as optimistic as I am, getting frustrated with the lack of communication and clarity from the CEO. I won't, however, let this take me to a dark place where it seems to have taken many already.
On the ads...
I believe the campaign has started, but perhaps intentionally, the ads are few and far between, and not at the ideal times for maximum viewing. I say intentionally because it would make sense to start slow as to not overwhelm new staff. I could be wrong though.
On the Alexa rating...
It has plummeted in recent days, so keep an eye on it. If it jumps back up, be relieved. That means good things are happening and traffic is being driven to thedirectory.com.
On talks of buyouts...
All I can say is don't say it can't/won't happen. Google has acquired or merged 20 companies in 2014 to date. I haven't heard of a single one. Please don't assume that NO ONE with deep pockets would consider buying out or merging with SEEK.
GLTA...GO SEEK!!!
White Pages is working just fine. Jobs search works great too. I searched jobs that I know we're posted in local print publications, same jobs, same companies, etc. I searched my phone number, and it came up with my wife's name, as # is registered to her, and still has the original address it was registered to, which is different than current address. Thedirectory.com is definitely not a scam.
Taking the fam to Maine in a couple weeks! A week on the ocean, loooooong overdue, with or without SEEK money!
I haven't lost a penny because I haven't sold anything. As a matter of fact, I am green. I also don't want or need your sympathy. I know what I own.
You must be completely void of logic too, because you didn't dispute a single FACT I mentioned...but of course, you would have to have the cognitive ability to understand facts, in order to dispute them.
In the end, I win, and others too, because we own SEEK.
AMEN!!!
When I see the first ad, I will post that I did. I will not justify my post with an ILLEGAL screenshot of my tv screen, you will simply have to believe me, or not. I am an honest investor, and posting a lie does not do me any good.
It could be tonight, it could be next week, or a month from now, but I will see it on tv, and so will all of you...buckle up kids!!
GO SEEK!!!
Seems likely, but i cant say for sure that they have, any more than you can say they have not
He also said in major markets...everyone trashing what has or hasn't happened has failed to acknowledge that. I am willing to say it's possible no ads have run, because no one has confirmed, nor has there been a pr to confirm whether they have or have not aired.
Until there is concrete proof in either direction, I will continue to hold patiently. GO SEEK!!
Simply because they want it to, and if they dont see it, in their eyes it didnt happen
Just something to keep in mind...in order to see the ad on tv, if you are watching live, you have to have the EXACT network on at exactly the right moment...oh and be in one of the "...major markets..." that it will air on.
I would not expect to see it if I were you.
My guess is that major markets would include NYC, LA, Chicago, Philly, etc.
Bro do you need a hug?
Funny stuff,,,go seek!!
That alone could be the reason for the ads being delayed. Maybe SG saw an opportunity to do both on the same day, and if he knows the financials are going to be really good, it would be a brilliant play. Of course, there is nothing saying this will happen other than hypothetical speculation, but wouldn't it be fun if it happens?
GO SEEK!!!
And somehow you have some insight leading you to conclude definitively that there won't be a commercial?
What insight is that? Remember, those "Magic 8 Balls" are only toys...they don't actually predict the future.

As a staunch defender of freedom of speech, i respect your right to say whatever you want no matter how vile or despicable it is.
Having said that, i would strongly urge you to refrain from advocating violence on this board.
Go Seek
Big jump on Alexa from yesterday...up to 132,153!
GO SEEK!!
Alexa rating up to 138989...it keeps going up even without ads, or at least without confirmation that they have or have not aired yet.
It is unlikely, I will admit, that ads have run, but if they have in very select "test" markets, that could explain the consistency in the increased Alexa ratings.
Personally, I think the the increases are a result of word of mouth driving visitors to the site.
GO SEEK!!
It's for finding local businesses...it's a business directory as opposed to a search engine. Search engine results can be completely different than search for a type of business on a directory.
I want an accountable CEO, but I see too many posts saying someone should or someone is contacting Scott.
To those advocating for folks to bombard Scott with phone calls, emails, fb posts, etc, just don't...I know this has been a frustrating time, but harassment isn't going to get results, and it won't get a response either.
I sent 1 email to Scott...I was pleasant, complimentary, supportive and that didn't get replied to, so I hope those of you who are contacting him with abusive and/or malicious content are not expecting to get any type of reply.
Btw, harassment is illegal...let's keep it civil!
So jealous...my gut only tells me I am chubby.
Kidding aside, I think you are right. I am not one of the "news any day now" types, posting that every day, tomorrow just seems right for some reason. I am not making a prediction, just stating a hunch.
That hunch, admittedly, might be wrong, but I hope it's right, and hope it's good news. Even not so good news would be ok, if it's an explanation of what the current dilemma is.
Regardless, GO SEEK!
Gotta stay upbeat with a gem like SEEK no matter how hard some try to make it seem like the sky is falling. Thanks for the shout out bro! We will be rewarded...GO SEEK!
Alexa rating - moved up again to 140,634.

New Alexa rating 150,477. GO SEEK!!!
Never said you don't have a right. As a matter of fact, I would defend your right to say whatever you want to say. Would you do the same?
As for late, again who cares as long as the goal is met eventually?
Results are more important than timeframes.
Who gives a rat's a$$ if they were late as long as they were met? Delays happen in ALL businesses ALL the time. Why don't you give it a try. Start a business and try to NEVER miss a deadline.
All of you that are constantly complaining about Scott's silence should actually try THINKING and stop letting emotion drive you.
If you think, you might come to the conclusion that he might be currently LEGALLY OBLIGATED TO NOT SAY ANYTHING. Did that thought ever cross your minds? I am not giving Scott a free pass, I believe that promises should be delivered upon, but unlike you whiners, I believe they WILL BE delivered upon.
I know the man is keeping info from us, but I think it is because he has to be quiet, not because he is corrupt/fraudulent/blood thirsty/ignorant/incompetent/lazy/deceptive or whatever other adjective you want to throw out there. You can't win on substance, so you resort to vile rants and mudslinging.
GO SEEK!!!
Agreed. I want to be clear...I AM NOT FANNING THE BUYOUT FLAMES, but IF buyout talks are in the works, or IF a buyout is imminent, Scott and whomever the buying party is, will not speak until it is official.
If that's the case, sorry to all of you that need to hear from Scott, or need to read a PR, it's just not coming until everything is hashed out. There would likely be some type of mutual agreement in place, so that details remain between the negotiating parties. I think a buyout is POSSIBLE, and it would be a logical explanation for why we have heard nothing since the ad campaign, which may or may not be in progress, began. I am still in the "don't know what's happening for sure" camp, so I can only speculate and offer my opinion.
Regardless, GO SEEK!!!
At the risk of having my deleted...
How dare you tell someone else to use reason, when you have failed repeatedly to do the very same.
All of you whiners that are hyperventilating over the CEO this, and the CEO that, stop and think for a minute...is it possible that there is a legitimate reason for the current silence?
You are the ones that need to use facts, logic and reasoning, and not let emotion control you. It makes you look ridiculous.
GO SEEK!!!!!
Ossafer...alexa.com, search thedirectory.com

Or maybe the company is under some contractual/legal requirement right now, that they are not allowed to say anything?
And be civil in your emails. SG will never respond to you if attack, threaten, abuse, etc. I was extremely polite, supportive and courteous. I would hope others will do the same.
Go SEEK!!!
Just emailed SG...when I get a response I will share.
It's overkill but I think most of it is aimed at new eyes.
True, but that doesn't mean there were no commercials at all. I expect we will know for sure at some point today.
And the pr also said, in addition to the networks listed, "and others..." what if they ran ads on the "and others..."
He could have requested that the ad agency keep the first round of ads low key so as not to overwhelm the call center right off the bat.
If the ads created such massive call volume that the call center couldn't handle it, that reflects poorly on the service side, and would negatively impact the whole company.
Is it possible that if ads did in fact air yesterday, they aired on smaller networks? Look back at the 5/14 pr. At the end of the mentioned networks, it says "and others..." If everyone was only watching the networks listed in the pr, and they were shown elsewhere, then that would certainly mean everyone missed the commercials.
Not claiming anything definitive, just putting it out there because we haven't considered that point yet.
Either way, I would really like to see some type of pre-market pr this morning.
SEEK
There could be and endless number of reasons. Business can be unpredictable. It could be the site not working properly, could be the ad agency overpromised and under delivered, unforseen red tape, last second shenanigans, anyone's guess.
