Q. How Does The Band Finder Work?  Q. Why Add Your Band to the Finder? It's Simple!

A. EVERY BAND IS DIFFERENT. EVERY FAN IS DIFFERENT. Even in the same genre, no two bands are EXACTLY alike. Every band's got nuances, differences, influences, locations, and everything else. With the BandFreaks Band Finder, listeners can now search for bands that match THIER tastes EXACTLY.

  1. New Fans use the Finder to pin down new music from scratch. Fans give the Finder their search criteria.

  2. The Finder matches them up with the few bands and artists and match their search. The listener goes straight to your website.

  3. This means that Fans can look for anything from a "Dreamy Emo Female Punk Duo in Arkansas" to an "Aggressive Urban Pop Electronica Band in Austin Texas", and anything in between, ALL OVER THE WORLD. BandFreaks's new matching technology finds the closest possible bands for their searches and delivers them to YOU.

    To get started click this link and add your band. Once you've set up your artist account, follow the instructions to add keywords to your account and start getting traffic immediately.

    You'll be surprised at the number of new fans coming to your website, signing up for your forums, increasing plays on your artist page, adding themselves to your mailing list and buying CDs.

  3. When our fans find you, they buy CDs, sign up for mailing lists and get involved -- these listeners were looking for your music!

Q. How much does it cost to get traffic through the Band Finder?
A. Nuthin. Bands and artists a certain amount of credits each month to use for free, which is enough for nearly 200 - 500 free new unique listeners each month. Bands can add a few bucks here and there for more, if for some reason fifteen dozen fans isn't enough.


Q. What is the BandFreaks Band Finder again?
A. Think of it kind of like an online dating site for lonely new listeners to find hot new bands. We use an extensive keyword-based search matching technology to help music fans find that "new band" that they're looking for -- and it's a lot of fun to use. Music fans come back EVERY DAY to find new bands and artists that fit ANY odd variety of tastes, genre mixes, locations, and a loooong list of specifications. When your band shows up in the matches, they click on your link and go straight to your band's website or artist page. This means that you can use the BandFreaks Band Finder to increase plays at your MP3.Com page, get highly interested listeners to your band's website, and maybe even have a shot at creating an online market for yourself and your band.

A. You can add as many bands or individual artists that you are accountable for. Set up as many band accounts as you need to start sending traffic to different band websites.


Q. How much fan traffic will I get?
A. Fans search our Finder for all kinds of stuff. Depending on where you show up in particular searches, fan traffic through the Finder can span anywhere from a steady stream to an encouraging flow of fresh new listeners worldwide. You WILL notice your counters spinning, so you probably shouldn't participate if website traffic is going to be a problem or you or your webhost. Many artists in our Finder receive on average 15 times the traffic they used to get. Also, this traffic is way more active than search engine or link trade traffic, so you'll also notice more activity. Once someone finds your band through the Finder, typically, you've found a fan.
