Massive Improvement required
Classic case of PR hype without the content to back it up.
Wow! I thought when reading the claim made by Cuil in press release.
"120 billion Web pages, .......3 times more than Google index"
The only problem is most is spam and a large percentage seems to be from sex sites. Is that what they think the average visitor wants I wonder?
I look after in excess of 40 sites, most over 3 years old and many with 1000 plus pages of content. Cuil so far indexed only 5. Maybe I should be hosting more sex?
The thumbnail grabber they are using is flawed, and there are no tools for webmasters to check indexing.
At first look the pages look tight and professional, give it 3 months and I will be very surprised not to see the pages filled with flashing banners and 3rd part ads!
Anyway, thanks Cuil for taking the moral high ground over privacy and delivering a totally useless tool.
More to come
It's expected, I hope CUIL gets more improvement sooner. Good Luck to them
Not at all surprising
I don't think it's at all surprising that a high percentage of older people were visiting Cuil. Older people have the money to invest, and if Cuil were going to be the next big thing (as many news sites were purporting), it would make a lot of sense to check it out for investment opportunities.
Problem is, Cuil sucks. Most of its returned results were way off and lead to spammy sites. So, I wouldn't expect a large influx of captial anytime soon. The cat got out of the bag way too early... or their PR people got ahead of themselves here.
