Additional Information:

Just “train” Zeus to recognize those sites that fit your criteria (ie. category/theme). Zeus will return a neat and orderly list organized by theme for your perusal. Once you and Zeus together isolate those themed groups of sites you’d most like to partner with, Zeus will help you send out a personalized and customizable email request to each of them.

Zeus will only email those sites you manually instruct it too. Emails are personalized with text by you and info on the recipient collected from your database. Those sites that reply positively and reciprocate your link are given Link Partner status and placement at the top of your link directory pages along with a graphic.

Zeus then creates content rich directory pages organized around the keywords that will drive the highest targeted traffic to your site.

Though a self-avowed “robot”, Zeus follows all the legal ordinances and common-sense courtesies expected of robots online. Zeus will not offend any search engines, potential partners, or link exchange partner sites, guaranteed (by them – not us).

Zeus combines:

• an HTML browser

• a relational database

• an emailer – with MailMerge customization using database DataTags

• an FTB program

• a contact manager

• and Zeus-the robot itself

…all in one package.

Zeus is currently only available for versions of the Windows operating system. The folks at Cyber-Robotics say it takes the average user about 2-4 hours to familiarize oneself with Zeus and its many features, and 30-60 minutes per day thereafter to operate and properly maintain your directory.

Members are encouraged to utilize their searchable Knowledgebase CommDesk Library (a few fancy ways of saying FAQ). Otherwise an email ticket-based Communication/Support Desk is available M-F 10am-6pm Eastern Time if you register.

The Cyber-Robotics site includes a number of free online seminars conducted by invited industry experts for advancing your knowledge in various aspects of internet marketing.

Personally, we believe there are far sharper looking link directories out there than the rather novice-looking pages Cyber-Robotics provides as samples, and far more useful software packages. Zeus seems to work best for the individual website owner (ie hobbyist), and small businesses or nonprofit organizations.

With that in mind, Zeus’s interface appears very beginner-friendly, with large buttons and lots of graphical icons for easy identification, though many of the features made available may be over the beginner’s head.

Zeus is available in a free version:

• Provided you create and upload your link directory within 14 days after downloading the free package, you can continue to use the Demo version indefinitely
