    I have banned more of them than you could imagine. I imagine they are paid per post so deleting them probably costs them money :D

    What a waste....

    It probably results in more posts like this than it's worth....

    I saw someone else post about them doing this....

    Makes them look pretty cheesy for an engine trying to make a serious impression on the industry.

    Hopefully I never see any PPC click-thrus from them.

    Don't they understand that this kind of false buzz goes nowhere.

    I think one of the disturbing trends are the companies that are paid to go on message boards and promote. This looks pretty amateur to me, but the trend is disturbing.

    Well, they certainly know how to make a negitive name for themself now, don't they? :)


    I dont understand their results.. my site is number one for Josh Powell in Yahoo and MSN, (used to be in google, until my site disapeared from the listings), but in Accoona its not even mentioned, which is weird since they are using Yahoo results.

    How do you know that they are using Yahoo results for sure and not a combination of results from different sources Josh :confused:

    Do you feel that they are only using results that have sponsored ads included :confused:

    Well, if you look closely.. all the search results (both the 'organic' and sponsored ones) point through overture.com

    Accoona have been around for a while and have been consistently crap, imho, which isn't surprising when the search engine is named after a naff song from a disney cartoon.
