What is Project WORD?
Project WORD is a project to build an interactive business dictionary. It not only enables businesses to link and market their website online, but also provides an essential place for customers to find what they are looking for.
Project WORD has already proven itself in practice, with various testimonials being received detailing businesses increased traffic since signing up. The on-going success of the project is a great indication of the positive future for Project WORD.
How will this benefit me?
A fun way to promote your business!
Project WORD will:
- Enable you to select keywords related to your business and link them exclusively to your website, providing a link between your business and potential customers.
- Make it possible for your potential customers to click on your chosen word and get directed to your website
- Provide a means of targetted marketing. Your words give potential customers an insight into the products/services you offer.
- Provide a way for people to find you through Google. The words you define are eventually indexed by Google, creating another means for customers to find your business.
- Enable you to administrate the words you purchase, making a change with your website easy to accomodate.
- Give businesses without a website the chance to create a search engine optimised business card.
- Allow you to retain your chosen word indefinitely – FOR A ONE-OFF PAYMENT OF JUST £1
How do I get started?
You can start linking your keywords to your websites by clicking define a word. You then need to fill out 3 small pieces of information which we use to link your chosen keywords to your website..
- The keywords you wish to link to your website.
- The URL of your website (your website address).
- The category your business comes under.
How do I pay?
All major credit/debit cards are accepted. Payments are processed through PayPal, a very easy to use and secure method of processing payments. Alternatively, you can pay by cheque/postal order; more information on this can be found on our contact us page.
For what period of time do I own each word?
When bought, the word that you define lasts forever. This is providing that the word links to a valid website or business card. If a word is defined as a broken link to a website, after 1 month, this link will be removed.
What if the word I want is taken?
Each keyword can only be linked to one website. I am afraid it works on a first come, first served basis. Do not worry though, there are many variations of keywords that you can link define instead.
What if I do not have a website?
If you do not have a website you can still be a part of our project. You can link keywords to an online profile or an email address.
We also offer you a free online business card that you can link your keywords to, this will give potential customers information about your business. Customers can then find you through the keywords you have purchased.

How does my word get displayed on the homepage?
When someone visits our homepage, a random selection of defined words are selected and displayed in the "featured words" section. This is totally random and gives each word an equal chance of regularly being displayed on the homepage.
The latest words are automatically put onto the homepage, although will be pushed off by newer words as they are defined.
How do I find out information on my keywords?
Each person will be given a unique id code after their purchase. This is then used to log in to the user control panel. If you have not yet received your unique id code you can request a reminder of this.
From the user control panel, you can view the keywords you have purchased, change the website address that they link to, change the category they belong in and also view statistics of how many clicks each keyword has received.
