Extraordinary Service
February 29, 2016

I have to say my experience with Pam at DotHop went above and beyond expectations. She is considerate of my time and never pushes me to make changes or add funding on her schedule, but always on mine. When I was uncertain of what DotHop was doing for me, she walked me through Google Analytics to show me step-by-step how DotHop was driving traffic to my site. If all online vendors of advertising and marketing services were as helpful and considerate as her it would be a dream.

Very Helpful
February 26, 2016

I've used this resource as my secret source for getting low CPC's within my industry. Compared to Adwords DotHop gives me a good ROI. Service is very courteous and insightful as well. Thanks again.

February 25, 2016

I have been using Dothop in my ad campaign for about 6 months now and have seen a very good ROI! Much better advisability than my PPC campaign was giving.

I will continue to increase my Dothop budget as results keep coming in postive.

Great Experience

My sign-up experience with Pam was terrific. She went through everything in detail and encouraged me to call anytime with questions. I felt very comfortable talking with her.

Been using this search engine on and off for several years now. Vast improvements have been made since then. Being a Web Designer, I appreciate seeing the front page of my site on the search engine, since I know how much time and effort goes into creating a great looking website. I believe they have a local cache system on their servers, the screenshots of the websites load very fast now as compared in the past. Advertising is very cost effective on this search engine as compared to others and CTR has been considerably higher. Most likely due to the Image of the actual site being there for potential customers to see.

Pam answered all my questions about dothope.com I was very impressed to hear about their filtering system to avoid bad clicks. It is also refreshing to have a rep assigned to your account that you can call for questions.

I liked the page pictures but did not like that they kept moving and there was no description of the page below to tell me if I would be interested in it.

This is the hassle free search engine you've been waiting for!
It has a great interface and it is simple to use. You can switch between two ways of viewing things, like a techie genius or full screen.
The great thing is you don't have to be worried about the companies advertising with the search company manipulating your search and placing their advertising in your search results at the top of the list. You'll see pretty much everything including the word you are searching for, whether you are looking at it via web, video or image.
Switch view=AWESOME! I have all of the tons of sites available on one screen and I'm able to scroll up and down through them. When you click on one site, it opens up in a separate window automatically so you don't have to use your back arrow to get back to where you were originally searching. Searching made easy!
I really enjoyed this search engine and will be using it from now on! Saving to my faves!

What I liked the most about DotHop.com is being able to preview the webpage with the side scrolling before clicking on to the page. Using Apple based products, I am personally used to sliding through images or text-based pages with ease. Having this feature on a search engine is quite clever, keeping up with current trends. I also like how the search page is not so ad-heavy. It is clean, simple, yet sleek. I may use this search engine more often ;)

Very clever logo!
October 1, 2014

Very clever logo! On the homepage, I would consider increasing the size of the terms of use, privacy policy, etc and make it more visible. Some of the graphics from the homepage aren't visible via mobile device. There also seems to be a lot of white space on the pages as you search.

While both the at-a-glance and switch view navigation views are cool, I found myself losing my place easily while searching. Perhaps removing the some of the directional arrows? From a mobile perspective, adding page numbers would be most helpful. It'd also be nice for the navigation to highlight or notify the user that they've already searched a specific webpage. Something similar to Google's pages when you search.

The overall visual concept is great! I understand the vision of the company and its direction from a technology standpoint. I believe this puts DotHop in a good spot against their competitors because of its advertising opportunities.

I see the concept is a great as its visual and we know visual sells/attracts much better than words words words, however its behind the 8-ball with so much white space. The image of the web page is maybe 1/6 of the browser window and the rest of the page is snippets of the optionally cyclable pages and then about 72% of the page is white. Also it keeps cycling long after I have seen an image I like, very difficult to get back to.

In comparing this with google I seem to see an advantage in way of looking quickly at a web pages' layout (convenient to spot add-ridden sites at a glance), but in regards to images I can find more on google with less white space.

Change the amount of white space and the sensitivity with which it changes images and I would like this much more

Talk about something new and refreshing to see! I didn't realize that searching with images could be this appealing. My day-to-day responsibilities require that I spend a large portion of time doing content research, as well as finding image matches. So having a snapshot of a webpage's content would save me time, and give me a clearer picture of the websites.

That's what DotHop offers. I'm looking forward to seeing how this it continues to become more dynamic.

When using a cell phone browser its much easier to find and load the information I'm trying to find when I can see a preview first. I hate going through Google and choosing a website that takes a minute to load, and then find out its the wrong one.
