Default Re: Cuil Penalizing Adsense Advertisers?

Send your feedback to them on their feedback forms, like I said, they are not really ready for prime time and are still in beta stages, some pages I linked to in the past were showing error messages the other day, then the next time you clicked on them they went to the right pages, so they are still having growing pains.

Many have tried to "become the next Google", Snap gave up long ago even though they were crawling and indexing pages aggressively, they did in fact build a decent database of indexed pages too.

It is not easy to garner market share, just ask Barry Diller, even after mass market ads were running on TV, Ask.com decided to cut back on operations because they were not gaining market share.

First step, have a great presentation people are use to and want to use, Snap got it wrong, users quit using it after the first time because it was slow, not many will use Cuil with their current presentation either, just like folks really did not jump on the SearchMe train.

Second step, make sure your data centers are ready to deliver and serve millions of pages, if you have too many technical errors users will not keep using a search engine either, Cuil has problems in both regards at this time.

But they do have world class people running things, they will read threads like this one, so keep posting your thoughts.
