Websitegurus.us released a policy change today effectively giving away one of their service for free. On their front page today ( http://websitegurus.us ) they had the follow posted.
(PRWEB) December 5, 2004 -- You are encouraged to post your contact info in any project you post or your profile. If you take care of payments without going through us, you save money. We are still able to help when escrow type payments, or anonymity, are still desired or preferred, but you will be charged a small percent of the transaction. Why are we doing this? Simple, to boost traffic. We believe that this site will be a benefit to the business and the IT communities. We believe that by keeping costs down, and by the store and auction sections that we are in the process of getting up, this site will turn a profit without cutting into your pockets. We still offer the service if you wish it, but with the costs of business going up, you may wish to cut one cost out. If so, feel free to take care of the financial part of the exchange through private channels."
The site operator quickly added though that in return, they do ask that freelancers do post a profile so that businesses will know they are available, and that buyers do post the projects so that freelancers know that is available as well. With the increase in traffic, the online store we are bringing up, the auction that is planned, affiliate sales, and anything else should turn a profit without us having to dig into either the freelancers nor businesss pockets" he said. And it should be very good for both the business sector as well as the IT: business gets services cheaper, freelance IT staff makes more money. A real win, win situation, good for everybody involved."
