Cuil, the start-up founded by Tom Costello and two former Google employees: Anna Patterson and Russell Power, unveiled a search engine that claims to have more than 120 billion pages in the index. According to Cuil, that's "three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft."



Cuil, pronounced ...cool..., is an old Irish word for knowledge and is the brainstorm of husband and wife team, Tom Costello and Anna Patterson. The duo have an impressive combination of experience in Internet search. CEO Costello has a extensive background in developing and researching search engines at Stanford University and IBM search. Patterson is a former Google employee and acting President and COO. The Cuil co-founders added the expertise of Russell Power, a former colleague of Patterson?s from Google.

It needs to be mentioned that Anna Patterson was a former employee of Google and that the last search engine created by Anna impressed Google so much that the industry leader decide to buy the technology in the year 2004. The Cuil founders have stated that around 120 billion web pages have been used to build up the index of Cuil and they are of the opinion that the figure is far bigger than Google or Microsoft.

A quick hands-on with Cuil showed that the best thing about the new search engine so far is its interface and design. Searching isn't quiet as effective yet as Google on most subjects, but it's still decent if you're searching for the most popular items on that particular topic.

"Cuil's goal is to solve the two great problems of search: how to index the whole Internet - not just part of it - and how to analyze and sort out its pages so you get relevant results." Cuil thinks that today's search engines can't index all the information that is available on the web (more than one trillion pages, according to Google). Even Google admits that it's selective: "many [web pages] are similar to each other, or represent auto-generated content that isn't very useful to searchers".

Cuil isn't the first Google rival to launch this year. Wikia Search, a highly anticipated search engine from Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, made its official debut in January . Wikia Search hopes to provide better search results by allowing a community of users to index pages by using their Web page rankings and other suggestions, as well as its own indexing of the Web

Many search marketers know their search engine alphabet, A for Ask.com; G for Google; M for Microsoft Live.com and Y for Yahoo. But how many know the important letters of the social media alphabet, D for Digg; N for Netscape; R for Reddit and S for StumbleUpon?

What happens when you type a single letter -- whether accidentally or intentionally -- into Google? The Google alphabet shows the first result you get (in English) for each letter.

S- earch engine friendly
A web page designed and optimized for high search engine rankings. Such pages are rich in keywords and structured for ease of crawling.

E - MR
A search result that precisely matches a user's search term.

A - algorithm
The proprietary formula (mathematical equation) that a search engine uses to calculate the relevance

R- Relevancy
The extent to which the searchers who find your page(s) are interested in what you're marketing. As with all marketing, the better the targeting, the greater the probability of positive conversion.

C-rawl Page
A document consisting of links to other pages, provided for the sole purpose of giving crawlers (robots) links to follow. Spammers used to submit these puppies to the search engines en masse.
H-its This generally means all requests from a webserver including requests by a web browser for html pages, jpeg's, gif's and other images. Hits is a phrase often thrown around but is generally not very meaningful in quantitfying search engine traffic.

E-xternal Link
Link which references another domain.Some people believe in link hoarding, but linking out to other related resources is a good way to help search engines understand what your site is about.

N- atural Listings
Web page listings that appear in a search engine's results, based on the engine's own algorithm.
The website/web page owner has not paid for these positions in the results. However, search engine results often include a mix of paid (paid inclusion) and unpaid listings. As long as a listing has achieved its position naturally (not paid for), it is a "natural" or "organic" listing.

G-oogle
A search engine that enables users to search the Web, Usenet, and images. Features include PageRank, caching and translation of results, and an option to find similar pages.

I-ndex
A search site's database, consisting of all the site content it has recorded. A directory's index typically consists only of titles and descriptions, while a search engine's database may include excerpts of page copy and cached pages.

N-iche
A topic or subject which a website is focused on. Search is a broad field, but as you drill down each niche consists of many smaller niches. An example of drilling down to a niche market

E-thical SEO
Search engines like to paint SEO services which manipulate their relevancy algorithms as being unethical. Any particular technique is generally not typically associated with ethics, but is either effective or ineffective.

Commandment 1: There are No Rank Guarantees.

Search Engines alone control their indexing and ranking algorithm. Do not try to trick Search Engines. The only way to improve your search engine rank is by obeying by the rules. And the rule is very simple: make it logical and structural. Web content is primarily for the site visitor and not crawlers.

If your Search Engine Specialist sold you magic "Top rank on Google in 10 days ". Forget it. There are no short cuts. Top ranking in Search Engine Natural Results will take time and hard work is needed especially in developing the content on your website and the links to your site which is called as link building.

Commandment 2: Keyword Ranking is Not the End, It’s the Means.

Ask yourself what will a top search engine rank get you? Most businesses are interested in increasing sales on a website or at the least driving qualified traffic. keyword ranking for the right keywords (keywords used by your target audience) is important. There are seo specialist who will try to show case results for keywords that occur only on your website. Be aware of it.

Commandment 3: Know Your Competition.

"Keyword Rank" or "Serp" is a keyword placement, keyword position and more so in the Search Engines’ natural results. How well you do in the search engine results is a function of how much hard work you have done in relation to your competition. Analyze your competition’s keywords, links, keyword density and spread, but be sure not to copy your competition. Be competitive

Commandment 4: Use Search Engine Friendly Design.

A search and visitor friendly design is needed for any successful website. Your website should be compelling enough for repeat visits by search engines and potential customers. Make sure you have search engine friendly URLs and avoid those long URLs with query strings or what we called dynamic URLs. It is better if we use keywords in your URL or domain. It is the number one factor to rank in the search engine.

Commandment 5: Select Keywords that are Worthy.

You must research your keywords before targeting. Use tools that give you a good idea of a keyword’s search potential like wordtracker, adword, keywordiscovery. It is important to know the number of searches for a keyword in the last month and per dy. You should also find out the number of web pages that are targeting the keyword. It is advisable to start a campaign with keywords with moderate competition and a high number of searches.

Commandment 6: Write Great Content.- Content Writing

Even if your website site is perfect for search engine robots, it won’t do you any good unless you also fill it with great content. Great means it has contextual and editorial value. Great content brings repeat visits and increases the chance of conversion. Great content is factual and appeals to your target audience. Your web page should have your desired action embedded in the content and you must ensure that the content is fresh. Keep adding and editing content regularly.

Commandment 7: Use Good Linking Building Strategy.

Hyperlinks make your content accessible and contextual. You must hyperlink in the right context within the website and to other websites. Good links are appreciated by the Search Engines and by visitors.

Commandment 8: Write Relevant and Original Meta Content.

Meta content or meta tag is like a business card. Just as your business card tells who you are and what you do, Meta content tells the search engines the relevance and context of a web page. The idea is to include only what is relevant to the page in the Meta Content but to include everything that is relevant.

Commandment 9: Acquire Relevant Links.

The links you acquire are the roads to your web page for search engine bots and visitors. Good links improve your webpage’s equity on the World Wide Web and bad links make a dent in your equity and credibility. Be selective in reciprocal linking. Both reciprocal and one way links work, if you are prudent in selecting the links. Submit your website to the relevant sections in relevant directories.

Commandment 10: Consult Experts, If You Need To.

If you have the competence, there are two ways to learn - learning from your mistakes and learning from others’ experience. You can choose either. If you have the time and can wait for the online dollars, do it yourself. If you want to get started now, it may be useful to consult the experts.

Does the Amount of Content Matter for SEO?

Everyone emphasizes that content is king. But does the amount of content make a difference?
The number of pages is insignificant. Content still is king, but the amount is up for discussion.

When it comes to content, quantity is not the concern. Instead quality is of utmost importance. As forum member Torka puts it, the most valuable sites to search engines (and users, of course) are those that offer useful and original content, provide a useful service, and sell products that people want or need.

Pay per click campaigns can be categorized into two major categories: sponsored match (or keyword) and content match. Sponsored match campaigns involve the display of ads on search engine results pages, whereas content match campaigns involve the display of ads on publisher websites, newsletters, and e-mails.

Keyword pay per click advertisers bid on search terms — keywords consisting of words or phrases, and possibly product model numbers

the following are notable PPC keyword search engines: Product engines (a.k.a. product comparison engines or price comparison engines) are search engines for products, and let advertisers provide "feeds" of their product databases.

The following are notable PPC product engines:


Service engines let advertisers provide feeds of their service databases. When a user searches for a service, links to advertisers are displayed for that particular service

The following are notable PPC service engines:

Pay per call is a business model for ad listings in search engines and directories that allows publishers to charge local advertisers on a per-call basis for each sales lead (i.e., call) the publishers generate.


Pay per delivery (PPD)

Pay per delivery is a variation on pay per click used in e-mail marketing. Email marketing campaigns are charged only on the basis of e-mails that are delivered successfully.

Pay per action (PPA)

Pay per action is a variation on pay per click adopted by many search engines. An advertiser pays a specified amount upon successful completion of some action

[via wikipedia]

So, what is Pay Per Click? To start with me must understand the needs of our client especially the market and user requirement. Pay Per Click (PPC) is a form of advertising featured on all major search engines. It delivers highly targeted advertisements chosen to match the specific interests of search engine users, connecting buyers and sellers in the marketplace. A properly managed PPC program is an excellent way of enhancing your organic search engine marketing efforts by running specific advertising campaigns or promotions. PPC advertising brings traffic to your website with a specificity and immediacy that cannot be paralleled by any other form of advertising, at a cost that can be keyed to the value of a lead


PPC advertisements are generally ranked based on a combination of popularity and how much organizations are willing to pay to advertise using each search phrase. Advertisements are bought through Pay Per Click advertising suppliers, primarily Google and Yahoo who also display advertisements on affiliate, smaller search engines

As noted on the Google Adwords site, your company is listed as a "partner site"(s) Through partnering with a search engine like Google they provide you the exposure that can only be gained by working with a search engine that feeds into several other search engines thereby expanding the overall potential effectiveness of your Pay Per Click Campaign


Finally, pay-per-click advertising does not scale. If you get more traffic, you pay more money in direct proportion to that traffic - your cost per click stays constant, and your overall cost increases. Compare that to natural search engine optimization, where you invest a fixed amount of time and/or money to achieve a better rank, and your cost per click goes down as you draw more traffic

Here at our professional seo and internet marketing services company, we pride ourselves on being a pay per click company that you assured that we will give you the best value for money campaign and performing pay per click campaign.

Pagerank has not been an accurate indicator to show webmasters how a particular site should be ranked comparing to other sites.
