Our Technology

Our News Crawler
The driving force behind Santopia.com is our proprietary news crawler. 

Our system visits thousands of known local news sites multiple times each day to find breaking local news.  Each time a new story is found, we crawl it, categorize it, and file it in the relevant local homepage - within minutes - ensuring you the most complete and up to date news for your hometown.

Our news crawler works constantly - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - to provide the most relevant, late breaking news that will impact you.

Our Advertising System
Our advertising system lets you create, manage and change your ads any time, day or night, in real time.  While other online ad networks require lead times measured in days, Santopia.com gives you access to the tools you need to get your campaign going in minutes. 

Also, our ad management system lets you place up to six direct links to your site(s) one every homepage you sponsor.  Relevant, direct links are known to boost rankings in the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, and MSN. 

So when you advertise with Santopia.com you'll get more than just clicks from our site visitors - you'll increase your site's ranking in the search engines as well.
