Hello Folks, We just rolled out a new meta-search engine called Faxo a few months ago. The site has been dormant for a while except for a development crawl we ran years ago which caused some problems. We have since improved our bots dramatically (you should start to notice Faxobot/2.0 showing up in your weblogs). Feel free to check it out and give us feedback. We offer search through several providers including our own index and a plethora of search types. In addition we provide a customizable homepage where you can provide your own wallpaper, a fast implementation of open directory and the largest game site in the world. Moreover we offer additional services such as social networks as well as images/wallpaper and videos. Alexa rates us as 95% faster than all other websites. This is due to a proprietary architecture which allows us to offer very fast response times. Feel free to stop by. Positive and negative comments are welcome. We can't improve without both. We look forward to working with you. Thanks!
The stats are all public...on Quantcast and Alexa. We have quantcast directly measuring our traffic. Our traffic has been sharply increasing. (you can see the graph on quantcast)
this is true and we're busily rolling out new features each week. at this point we'd be more than happy claiming the 5th spot on the search lineup. If there is another search engine you feel offers more capabilities for that 5th spot let us know because we're trying to offer cutting edge features and we're closely monitoring the competition... thx
It appears that your search engine is powered by Google .. well, I feel, instead of making it a general purpose search engine, you should develop a search engine for a smaller niche, and start building a brand name in that niche.
I agree completely. A search engine by any other name that uses Googles results, is still, "Google" .. nothing really very new or cutting edge about it. Niche search is where we are all going to end up. I can see each person having 3 or 4 bookmarks to niche search sites in a few or so years, pointing to their favorite places to look for things .. you'll have your media search, your tech search, your social networking search and so on .. The days of the big catch-all, nonrelevant, search engines are indeed numbered. There is a great deal of advantage to having your own crawler and index .. those who actually start doing their own (not Googles) search indexes now, will be miles ahead of the game when niche search really takes off.
i think Faxo need to improve stuff and uniqueness to compete with Google yahoo and bing and as well as well altavista
Day by day search engines are increasing in this net world. But it is difficult to sustain among the skillful competitors.
the design is terrible, the background image is simply hideous... to many adverts... very few quality search results... in other words - you still have a long way to make it a true search engine that is pleasant to use
Their are so many Search Engine comes up now a days to beat some major like Google, Yahoo, Bing etc. but it's very tough task to beat them. keep it's ups to do better and better things all days. All The Best
