OK...I saw a story on these guys on CNN other day...and scoffed at it.  Now, Im choking on my own scoff...

Have you checked out www.cuil.com yet?  Cuil was started by a couple of upstarts that used to work at that other huge search engine that everyone is sooo concerned about......(Thier name rhymes with Poogle)  :-)

Cuil is actually an irish word that means knowledge.  And they have a completely unique approach to internet searching.  They rely on CONTENT based searches versus popularity matricies that are so prevelant in today's search engine ranking world.  They claim to have 3x the indexable internet pages of Google...and as many as 10x the pages of MSN...if true, this would make them the largest search engine in the world.

To thier credit, Paul Allen (the guy that started Ancestry.com and now has numerous companies under him including worldhistory.com) just threw out a tweet on Twitter that www.cuil.com was the #7 ranked referrer to his blog yesterday.  They beat out AOL, Live.com, and MSN.com.

Try doing a search on www.cuil.com.  I did it...and my sites still show up top of the list based on CONTENT rather than the matrix.  Im quite happy with them.

I'm not so sure that I understand all this search engine stuff, but I will check out the site.  I am interested in learning, but have quite a learning curve ahead of me.

Sandra -- Awesome!  Congratulations on the content of your site! 

Fran -- Sorry that you didnt like it.  Personally, I love it!  :-)

Troy -- Most search engines use a popularity matrix to determine who ranks where and it is mildly based on content.  Cuil removes the popularity matrix completely and relies specifically on content and only content.  So, if you site is heavily content based, you will rank higher on Cuil than other engines.

Don't like this site at all. Search for Mike Saunders and all I can find is that damned Angry Samoan punk rock guy. Page after page after page with some references Canadian football player and linkedin pages (not mine) thrown in.

Robert -- I had the same thing happen when I looked.  In fact, I have several blogs of mine that show up...but not my main website.

Mike -- Sorry about that...Hopefully, as they index more pages, you will show up.

Cuil can't find "TannStarr.com" - says there are two results for it, then shows four AR comments. I've posted 144 blogs here and have serial commentary totaling 3,319 across the AR forums (not counting this one). 151 countries, but only one TannStarr.com and Cuil can't find my 5 page GoDaddy website... seriously...

Carolyn -- Im noticing that you are not the only person affected by this issue.  Actually, if you search for my company, the only thing that comes up is my ActiveRain profile.
