When I posted a story about the new search engine, Cuil, a while back, I never thought that Cuil had the potential to surpass major search engines in the short run, as far as driving traffic to my site. After testing Cuil for a while now, I am personally stunned that it is driving more traffic to my site than Yahoo! (I am actually getting traffic from Yahoo! and Live). I have a very small niche site that gets about 100 visitors a day from Google, about 20 visitors from Yahoo! and about 10 visitors from MSN. I do get traffic from Twitter, which is my 2nd highest traffic generator, but that’s pretty much the order. Cuil brings me about 30-40 visitors a day. It’s not huge traffic, but it’s still about the amount of traffic that I get from Yahoo! and Live combined. The results are still not significant enough for me to go out and focus on Cuil specifically, but if this trend continues, I may have no choice.
Are you seeing similar results with your sites? Have you had any success with Cuil?
Glad to hear that Cuil is driving some traffic to your site. I work for another search engine, and I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Me.dium.com has taken a different path than other search engines. We have a full web index, but we change the results based on the surfing activity of our user base (now over 2,000,000). It’s in alpha, but I’d be curious to hear your thoughts. http://me.dium.com/search
