Launch of Cuil
->
The recent news from seo market is the introduction of a new search engine that is expected to challenge the existing search engine giants. This rival engine is named Cuil and the launch of Cuil is expected to bring a drastic change in the search habits of users.
Cuil is launched by a team of engineers who were formerly working with Google. The term cuil is related to cool and is pronounced as such. The great expectation about Cuil is that, it will be able to index more web pages faster and at a cheaper rate as compared to the giant in this industry – Google. Google is supposed to have the largest online index in the current market and Cuil is expecting to overcome this sooner.
The creators claim that, the search engine uses more advanced techniques than the primitive methods of web links and traffic patterns. This works by analyzing the context of the web pages and checks for the concept in user’s request. This is considered to be the main reason why they are expecting to index a major portion of the internet. Users will be happier to use Cuil as they will realize that web is at their finger tips.

Call me a skeptic, but what’s to prevent google from simply adapting and implementing similar features over time and thus making “Cuil” unnecessary/redundant/obselete before it ever catches on? If google is able to increase it’s search relevancy even fractionally (say 10%) by the time this engine has 1% market saturation… I expect people will be more than satisfied. Also consider the number of spam and personal/myspace-type pages will continue to grow exponentially. Will this engine rank them more highly if they have queried “relevance”? I suspect people will be able to game this new engine just like they try to game Google and their initial success will turn people off to this new engine. And it could be something as simple as hiding more pages with duplicate content and junk terms which defeats this new engine. I’m not saying that this new search engine is certainly going to fail, but it certainly has a lot going against it — while Google can continue to improve itself.

Unlike Google, Cuil does not record/store your search history. I hope they’ll make it.
