Almaden has a unique purpose for some reason that I cannot remember right off hand.
It is WebFountain:

Not just a search engine but "Advanced Text Analytic Solutions."

Quote:
Harnessing WebFountain's power will help enterprises gain insightful, highly synthesized, timely, and customized information that is not readily perceptible or available today. This includes information such as emerging trends and patterns, competitive activities, “buzz” about products, relationships affecting customers’ businesses, and pathways to discovery. WebFountain customers can use tailored solutions to gain insight about their company’s reputation, brand perception and emerging marketplace issues to proactively and confidently develop competitive and deliberate strategies.

Like I said, so long as I don't have bandwidth issues, that is, using bandwidth beyond the budget for my hobby, I'm willing to trust that the information they use may well one day send an important visitor to my site--even if it's just one IBM scientist.

By the time my bandwidth usage reaches that level though, I'm likely to have had some epiphany on how to turn my traffic into cash (no, not adsense). So the two lines on that graph may never meet.
