Questions and answers.

A search interface to the Economic Web. Instead of browsing a catalog, you describe what you need in your own words and E-ent returns the companies and resources that fit.

Search over the catalog works today in private beta: you type a request and get ranked results from 40,000 indexed companies and resources. Publishing opens next, then the attention marketplace and rewards — their rules are already public.

Your request is read as intent — the tools, the field, the place you mention — and ranked against everything indexed in E-net. Today that ranking is keyword-based and runs on the server for every search. Semantic ranking is the next step, not something that already happens.

Businesses bid for visible positions in a category for a defined period. The current bid, the holder and the next minimum are public, so the rules of reaching an audience are readable rather than inferred.

Two separate ways. Organic relevance comes from how well a resource answers the request. Sponsored positions are bought in the auction and are labelled as sponsored. Buying a position does not change organic relevance.

Meaningful activity — opening resources, visiting, buying — is what gives the market something to price. Network Rewards are designed to return part of that value to the people who created it, and roll out together with the marketplace.

Not yet. Search over the catalog is open in private beta; publishing is the next step, and early access goes out from the list on this page. The attention auction opens after that, and its rules are already public.

Two separate things. A subscription to Landing, which covers pages, domains, analytics and workspace features. And, optionally, a premium position in the catalog, which is bought through the attention auction and priced separately.

A public bid for a position in a category of the catalog for a defined period. The current bid, the current holder and the next minimum bid are visible to everyone, so the rules for reaching an audience are readable rather than inferred.

No. Publishing a page puts it in the catalog on the Free plan. Auctions only affect premium positions, not the right to be listed.
