New search engine Cuil is the brainchild of a team with wide experience with Google and other search engines:
Anna Patterson: worked on Google’s search index
Russell Power: worked on Google’s search index
Louis Monier: founder of the AltaVista search engine
Tom Costello: worked on IBM’s WebFountain project.

Cuil is another wanna-be challenger to Google and here’s where they claim an edge of difference:

1. Cuil claims to have a bigger index than Google with 121,617,892,992 web pages listed. Cuil says this will help you get relevant results for topics that aren’t very popular.

2. Cuil doesn’t give popularity as high a weighting in search results especially for complex searches.
If Cuil’s concept of indexing succeeds, PageRank and linking might be a thing of the past.

According to their website, Cuil tries to analyze the content of web pages and to put it into a greater context.

3. Cuil new results page format returns the results in three columns along with images to the search when possible. Cuil also offers roll-over definitions and offers ideas to refine your search.

4. Cuil does not log any personally identifiable information. IP addresses, names or cookies are not stored.

If you fell uneasy about your info being published, like AOL did in August 2006, or forcibly shared, like Google has to do to Viacom, then Cuil looks after you better.

Better Search Results?
Whether Cuil gives you better search results depends upon what you’re after.

When I searched under Internet marketing and used Cuil’s Article Marketing suggestion option, the front page results returned one or two sites like and majon.com that I might expect to be there, but didn’t include a site like ezinearticles.com (what would Christopher Knight say about that?). I would expect a major player like ezinearticles to be on the first page instead of some of the other results that came up like articles.dovada.com.au with an Alexa rank of 1,353,566.

Some lucky, site owners, ranked low by Google, could get a Cuil windfall if the new search engine takes off.

Cuil does recognize different shades of meaning for a search term . For example, if you search for “tiger” then Cuil will return results for the animation, the operating system with that name, the golf player and companies with that word in the name on the first result page.

A Google killer? Google is not that easy to knock over. See how Google has responded to being outranked by Cuil on the number of web pages listed.

If you’re running a Firefox browser then adding Niche Watch Tool will give your niche marketing research a power up by tracking everything SEO from backlinks to keyword appearances to page ranking.

You will be able to keep tabs on your competition by comparing your results to the results of others in your niche. Its compatible with Firefox 0.8 to 3.0a1.

For anyone getting the essential free Web 2.0 training on Ed Dale’s 30 Day Challenge though - particularly those adventuresome types with a Flock 2.0 beta (I got curious) - you’ll need to stick with SEO for Firebox because Niche Watch Tool is not compatible.

PS There’s still time to get on board the Thirty Day Challenge - by far the best free Web 2.0 course available - and better than many of the one’s you’ll pay $100s or even $1000s for.

How does your website rate against competitors for Internet trends? To find out check the new Google Trends feature that lets you compare the unique vistors to your website with 4 other websites.

You can check trends from May 2007 onwards and track to see how events affected visitor behavior in your niche. To get a handle how you are competing in different parts of the world use the “Regions” table showing a geographical rundown of where visitors are from.

Also useful are the “Also Visited” and “Also Searched For” tables that allow you a view of visitors’ surfing habits outside of the targeted sites.

Given Google’s robust data this new Trends feature will let Google more than front up to similar services offered by Compete, Alexa and Comscore.

For some reason, Google sites such as google.com, blogger.com, blogspot.com and youtube.com aren’t included for use in the tool, but search competitors yahoo.com and Microsoft’s live.com are.

Brad Callen’s free SEO Directory Submitter has a strong track record for getting links for savvy website owners.

Brad recently updated his free Directory Submitter to make your process of submitting to directories rapid and simple, compared with other methods - and his previous Directory Submitter. When you sign up for the free version you get access to 350 directories.

All you have to do is enter your website name and description, keyword and contact details - then you click on a directory link. The Directory Submitter opens the link submission page of that directory and fills if all the data fields except the category in the directory that you want to be listed under. You select the category click submit and your site is submitted - all of 1 to 2 minutes.

You don’t need to play around with reciprocal links. With “nofollow” tags on directory listings now you won’t pickup backlinks to boost pagerank but it is another source of free advertising that will produce visitors to your site.

PS Tap into millions of videos for fast posts for your blog

With the spotlight on video its easy think that for SEO article writing is no longer is a real force in getting traffic on the Internet. But while there is large traction to be gained in Web 2.0 videorazzi, Internet marketing expert’s like Alex Mandossian are making a quiet killing backstage with article writing.

Alex suggests you think of an article as an “international article agent.” Then imagine having a 300 to 500 word international article agent spreading evidence of your expertise all over the internet and working for you 24/7 all over the world…imagine having 10 of those international article agents…50..100…1100 (like Alex Mandossian)…for free.

Now imagine being able to add one new or several new “international article agents” any time you wanted to create more prospects, publicity and profits.

Then imagine adding the power of Jason Potash’s Content Composer that produces unique versions of your article and sends them to masses of ezine directories…so that search engines detect each article, in each directory as unique…

Do you get a sense now, of the power of article marketing? What you can create with this powerful strategy?
