NEW YORK - ISEDN.org, the Independent Search Engine and Directory Network, announced today that it has signed over 200 search engines and directories as members. The ISEDN is a network of search providers that display an advertiser's products or services as featured listings within search results. Advertisers are provided with premier placement based on a fair rotation of ads, instead of pay per click fees.

The ISEDN advertising model does not have the problems of constant bid management, exorbitantly expensive bid prices, rampant click fraud, and dropping advertiser ROI which are inherent in the pay per click advertising model.

ISEDN's featured listing program provides top 10 listing exposure, quick inclusion, extremely low cost, and full statistics tracking. There is no incentive for click fraud since there is no pay per click component involved for ISEDN members or advertisers. It has all the benefits of pay per click advertising and none of the disadvantages.

The interest in the ISEDN Network has been staggering allowing it to recruit 200 member companies in less than 12 months. "The ISEDN's growth shows that search providers want to offer alternative advertising methods. Alternatives which are not plagued by the click fraud problems which companies such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN must deal with," said Mel Strocen, founder of the ISEDN and CEO of Jayde Online, Inc.

The vision of offering an affordable stress free alternative for advertisers has struck a major chord with search providers. Membership in the ISEDN has grown at the incredible pace of three to five new members each week.

Strocen adds, "We're looking forward to continuing the rapid growth of the ISEDN. We're poised to compete heavily in the search advertising market as a united group. We're anticipating even more members as advertisers become more disillusioned with the problems of pay per click advertising."
