Where does eFax advertise on-line? Efax is an email-service
(e.fax.com) with both free and paid services. I know that they develop
a lot of their business on-line, and I am interested in how they do
it.

I've seen efax ads and special offers in a few places, like with yahoo
mail and monster.com. I'd like to know what other sites or portals
efax is advertised on.

Request for Question Clarification by rainbow-ga on 22 Sep 2005 13:04 PDT

Would websites that provide a link to efax interest you? 

For example:
Under "Free Email", clicking on "Faxes via Email" will take you to the
efax website:
http://xoom.xoom.com/

Or are you only interested in advertisements for efax? 

Also, how many websites would suffice as an answer to your question?

Best regards,
Rainbow

Hello, research09-ga!

 I answered an identical question to this just about a year ago. Is
there anything more you need to know?

Clarification of Question by research09-ga on 23 Sep 2005 06:13 PDT

Re: Rainbow.ga -- I am looking for paid advertising, e.g., portal,
on-line media postings -- I would think this website(s) that provides
a link to eFax is done so at a cost..e.g., that eFax is paying for the
posting?  So that is of interest. I would be looking for the top 10 -
20  sites for my question.

Re: umiat.ga -- The information that you compiled was very useful -- I
am wondering if there have not been some changes within this past 1
year period...I would be interested in finding out what has changed.
