Yes...for those ppl who have not heard of it before..it is an India. local search engine. The company was funded 7m$ by seqoia capital and ppl had high hopes...however i was always doubtful as to whether they could compete google and the others...the happenings of late have confirmed my apprehensions...one of the founders quit the company and the venture capitalists pulled out...i dont think that the search is amazing or anything...you ppl can try out and post your opinions.... www.guruji.com
Guruji is purely for Indians. Why this search engine has high expectation is because they provide illegal mp3 links to music which most of Indians love. They are providing direct links to such illegal, torrent, download links. Some has sued this company but yet no verdict has came.
@ accoustics: actually guruji was founded by 2 people who have vast experience working for MNCs (like ebay, microsoft etc) . Also most of the employees have previously worked for MNCs. Therefore it is not right to say that they are non MNC . @chandan123: congrats for that. As for me, all the sites I have run till now has never been indexed by them (inspite of having Indian content in a few of them). The submissions also did not help . @hiteshb: of course I know tht it is for indians (and ppl frm the subcontinent only). But then, most of their traffic comes from illegal content as you said . No one actually uses it for general search. I did not knw tht they were being sued...thnkx for the info .
I dont think I'll resubmit man... it is sort of pointless..firstly I get good traffic from the other search engines [google,yahoo,live(bing....actually ] etc secondly, I dont think they are going to survive for more than 2 years from now..
It's a nice search engine. does anyone know the programmers who developed the script. A friend of mine is currently looking for advanced coders for such job.
Ur frnd is looking to develop something like guruji? of course tht would need a lot of advanced coding...ask him to post on job sites like monster.com and naukri...btw is he from india? If so where?Also the amount he is willing to pay determines the kind of people he might find...
Do you know who got the "G" from ? Google from Guruji or Guruji from Google ? I mean the G in the logo.
guruji is nice for direct mp3 download it but iam getting not huge amount of traffic but little bit only
Duh! Guruji from Google..f course...cant believe some1 tht it could b the other way round . In fact guruji has ripped a lot of other stuff as well from google...
they have survied for 3 years and you dont think they will survey for 2 years more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guruji.com
i've checked the site just now..it has a good design but like i always noticed in other SE's..it's has a bit slow loading time..
