Epic search fail

wyldblyss · 12-09-2008, 07:49 AM

I never heard of it before..I just went and tried a few mainstream terms and the results were horrible. I would never use a search engine like that

nico-t · 12-09-2008, 07:52 AM

what a shitty name

gornyhuy · 12-09-2008, 07:57 AM

I wonder if their index is really 3x google or is that just bullshit. There is no way to audit that kind of claim.

RobertD · 12-09-2008, 08:00 AM

I got about a dozen Paris Hilton clicks from them I think.

Zuzana Designs · 12-09-2008, 08:05 AM

yea the name could be better you would think ..

polish_aristocrat · 12-09-2008, 11:45 AM

YUP, they said it was the best thing since sliced bread, then went for a shit the same day. I recall posting about it at the time

andy83 · 12-09-2008, 01:26 PM

notoldschool · 12-09-2008, 01:32 PM

I read it went bankrupt or something in some tech magazine as well.

skrinkladoo · 12-09-2008, 02:58 PM

You know, maybe its just me ... but i expect a bit more creativity from anyone that worked at Google.

BradM · 12-09-2008, 03:00 PM

It was a piece of shit idea.

pornguy · 12-09-2008, 03:12 PM

you rank no 1 for "Adult webmasters" though

d-null · 12-10-2008, 01:46 PM

it amazed me at the time that it got so much publicity in the mainstream press

it was obvious that it was destined to fail

Really ?, never checked it

EscortBiz · 12-10-2008, 01:51 PM

google will continue to take over more and more market share, most surfers find what they want in google and dont care how big this new girls index is

Emil · 12-10-2008, 01:54 PM

Cuil is crap, their bot nearly crashed on of my servers some weeks ago, crazy thing kept spidering my sites for hours and hours.
And I don't receive any traffic from them at all.
