Does anybody use exalead as a search engine? I believe that they have/use their own database which seems pretty good. I love their interface and use it pretty often, but I never have gotten traffic from it. Does anybody use it and/or get any traffic from it?
The interface does look good, what do you think about the search results and ease of use? Do you get any traffic from it to your sites?
its not a bad search engine its not the best but better than soe you can use site:www.yoursite.com to see all your pages
I thought the search results were pretty good. They have indexed all of my sites without any submissions. Also, I thought I had seen someone from the company (Exalead Girl?) promoting the engine here, but I have not heard anything in while. From what I understand it is based in France, but indexes a lot of of English language sites. I think they could potentially put a dent into Google's traffic volume if marketed better. Also, if you look at the bottom of their homepage you can see the amount of indexed Web pages they have. Here is a current number (seems pretty large): "Searching 8,022,397,709 web pages"
I kinda liked that there were only three sponsored results on the page instead of one to three (four on some results in Yahoo) ads mixed in the organic results like Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask and then a whole list on the right also. Just my 2 cents.
