TPX has developed a number of graphic arts related search engines any and all of which may be used as is to add content to the web sites of TPX subscribers and partners FOR FREE!.

It's a simple way to add content that will help those sites increase their traffic.

TPX's search engines include the following:

TPX MARKETPLACE - USED EQUIPMENT - TPX's Used Equipment Marketplace is the world's oldest and largest online used graphic arts equipment marketplace.

TPX JOBS MARKETPLACE - TPX's Jobs Marketplace is the graphic arts industry's most complete jobs database which lets job seekers freely search for jobs and post their job-wanted ads, and lets employers place their help-wanted ads.

TPX TECH SPECS - TPX's Tech Specs search engine attempts to list all of the new graphic arts equipment currently being made, and to provide those models' technical specs so that buyers can easily compare products and contact manufacturers.

TPX SOURCEBOOK - The TPX Sourcebook attempts to list every North American company that makes, sells or services any type of graphic arts equipment or supplies.

TPX BUYERS GUIDE - The TPX Buyers Guide is used by printers, print brokers and other buyers to out-source printing and pre-press and post-press services. Buyers can locate and email requests-for-bid to companies that specialize in the type of job the buyer needs performed.

TPX SHOPPING MARKETPLACE - When accessed from TPX's or other sites, the TPX Shopping search engine lets buyers shop for and order any of the products vendors are selling online via TPX's Shopping system as long as the vendor is willing to pay commissions when orders are placed at sites other than theirs. Add TPX's Shopping system to your site and share those commissions when orders are placed via your site.

TPX INDUSTRY LOCATOR - This TPX search-by-name search engine lets you search by company's names or type of company, or an individual's first or last name - and then access that company's detail so you can determine their address, phone or fax number, or web or email address.

TPX LINKS - TPX's Links search engine lets you search for over 5,000 graphic arts web sites by the company type or service provided.

TPX CALENDAR - The TPX Calendar is the graphic arts industry's most complete calendar of events in which we will list for free any trade show, convention, association meeting or seminar.

TPX's search engines can be easily added to your site as follows:

USE FRAMES - TPX recommends the use or a top or preferably a left navigation frame that will remain visible when users have clicked links that call the requested TPX search engine in the bottom or right frame (just like the previous TPX "DealerDemo" page).

Since your site's address while remain visible in the browser's address line, many users will not even know that they are pulling content from both yours and TPX's servers.

If your site does not normally use frames, consider setting a left hand navigation frame only when users call one of TPX's search engines. This frame would reside on your server, retain your site's look and include links to your home and other pages and to any of TPX's search engines that you choose to include.

QUIRY STRINGS - TPX will provide you quiry strings that your programmer will cut and paste into any of your pages from which you want to call TPX's search engines. It's that easy!

OUR PAGE'S LOGIC - When called from your site, all of our search engines will know they were called from your site so that:

1. If users need to register to access our search engine, you will get a copy of the registration email so you can track activity and follow up on prospects that visited your site.
2. All of our pages know to stay in their frame so that your navigation frame will always remain visible.
3. All of our pages contain a "Home" link that when clicked will return the user to your home page or whatever page you specify.
4. When users login or register to access any of our search engines they can request that the pages text appears in any of the following languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portugese or Russian.
