Epic search fail

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

what a shitty name

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

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

yea the name could be better you would think ..

yesterdays alexa traffic rank for cuil.com 9,865

didnt it have uptime probs on its launch date also? lol

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:2 cents:

nice fail.

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

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

It was a piece of shit idea.

The name is Pronounced " COOL "

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i am getting hits on some of my sites from them

you rank no 1 for "Adult webmasters" though

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

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Really ?, never checked it :winkwink:

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

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.
