Visser—I don’t know if skeptical is the right word or not. It’s a free submit, so there really isn’t much risk. However, if this was a paid service, no way would I pay for it! Unless they provide something special, which I haven’t seen yet, the search engine wont go far.
About 2 years ago I built Rafting.bz. It’s a whitewater rafting and outdoor adventure search engine. We indexed over 100,000 sites when we opened our doors, added PPC ability to the site. The client I was working for didn’t put enough marketing money into the site, so as far as I know its been pretty stagnant in terms of growth.
There is always room for new search engines, but unless they offer something different or better, then its going to be a long rough road! Just my 2-cents!
