The reverse portal system and method (100) includes a search engine for finding products specified by consumers. Only registered users may search and communicate through the website. Privacy of registered users' searches is maintained. Only consumers may directly contact businesses associated with the products. Solicitation from the businesses is in response to the consumer's search, and may only be directed to a nickname established by the consumer for anonymity. The method accepts only consumers who register with the system (100) and obtain an anonymous username. Businesses are offered “organic listings” or pay per click preferred listings.
