just read the thread you mentioned, mrdch. class post! Good for AJ, maybe it will drive itself into an alternative for yahoo/G.

Since the Google slide I've been getting a lot more traffic from AJ. Who knows maybe "this is the start of a beautiful freindship ;~)

The search engines that focus on a complete free crawl of the internet along with a consistent push towards relevance, are the search engines that will win in the long run. I think this is a fantastic re-iteration that the PFI approach is not workable. Eventually, I'm sure Yahoo will move this direction as well, and their announcement regarding free inclusion and crawling the invisible web seems to be an indication that they might 'get it' afterall. My guess is that most search engines will move to the model Googles espouses. Free crawl + relevance = traffic. It may take some time, but little by little, common sense and good business practices do win out. Unfortunately, it often takes longer than it should.

Hi Everybody - I haven't had a chance to spend a lot of time in the forums lately, as it's been a pretty busy week ;-) It's good to see all the lively dialogue around the subject of paid inclusion. While we will be phasing out the Index Express feed program, we remain committed to the Site Submit product, which properly aligns the interests of users and site owners. Looking forward, we're actively working on new and innovative ways to put dynamic and deep-web content in front of users. As always, it boils down to relevance. Stay tuned…

JeevesGuy, we're looking forward to Jeeves/Teoma becoming a serious search engine. My web logs tell me you're on a roll. Keep it up! My recommendation: crawl the web more often and more agressively and update your index accordingly. Then the webmasters that hang out here or lurk around will do some serious word-of-mouth advertising for Jeeves.

Only if they are able to monetize their product in some other way. Otherwise they'll fail. You can't run a quality search engine for free. TJ

I agree. Google seems to be monetizing their traffic just fine, so perhaps Ask should look to their model as an example.

Making our Teoma index fresher and more comprehensive is a big priority for us. Currently, our technology is still somewhat adolescent compared to Google and Yahoo in certain areas. We will definitely be making some big strides over the course of the next year in terms of making our index bigger and fresher.
