is cuil a new hope for directory owners ?

Cuil is pretty much a worthless search engine. The results you get back are not relevant to your search and so no one will end up using them... if no one is using them then it doesn't matter how high you rank because you won't get traffic.

 

At last - somebody with a decent brain and who understands what traffic pull is about. Bravo

 

But, Google is Big Boss. We just hope for better future of Cuil. And, I believe that Cuil is getting attention just because they are from Google.
