About Ansearch

The Ansearch group of companies generates revenue mainly by selling advertising space on a growing network of search engines, portals and popular websites. The Company originally provided this suite of products and services through its own search and directory websites, and has since extended its network and audience reach to include the distribution of advertising to third-party Australian, US and UK based search engines, websites and third party advertising networks.

With the recent acquisition of Webfirm (http://www.webfirm.com.au) and Searchworld (http://www.searchworld.com.au) the company can now provide the most 'complete' range of online media solutions to SMEs.
