    Does anyone have any experience with Cuil. I have heard that the owners of this are former Google employees?

    Cuil;

    Hmm .. let's see now .. Twicler (the Cuil Bot) just joined the ranks of Google, MSN, and Yahoo, in my robots.txt generator tool when I rewrote it a while back.

    Their index is sorely out of date .. listing sites that I let go well over a year ago. Their bot, on the other hand, is outpacing MSNBot 10 to 1 in parsing though .. might be a good sign.

    Search results aren't exactly the best either.

    No, not from this SE. However, visitors from other SEs are increasing now.

    I have a lot of large and small traffic sites and I very seldom (maybe once) have seen any traffic from Cuil.

    I dont think I have ever seen any traffic from cuil to any of my sites. Having said that, I dont think I rank well for anything on there anyway.

    Nope, I'm first result for my targeted keywords on Cuil but not one visitor. With Google, I'm fourth with that keyword and I get at least 40 visitors a day from it.

    Cuil is a bandwidth hog and I blocked the crawler's IP address because it was sucking up bandwidth like crazy.

    No traffic to any of my sites from Cuil yet. I wonder what the daily search volume is on Cuil.

    No even 1 visitor a month. Alexa is more popular and the amount of traffic that I am getting from Alexas is very minimum.
