Search engines will always have holes - and as they patch them up, new ones will be found. I agree, marketing wise now is the perfect time for ATW. I think they should just get on with it, making sure they have the finance and facilities in place to tweak the algo on the fly as they become more popular. I've put quite a few people onto ATW now, and word seems to be spreading quite quickly. I would bet my last nickel that their visit stats have increased in the last 6 weeks. TJ

>Search engines will always have holes Agreed. The ATW index has to deal with the same amount of mass generated stuff, with the same amount of low quality pages. Not necessarily as a deliberate exploit, but rather as collateral damage from attempts at flooding Google. Free indexers ineviatbly are confronted wiht all the stuff out there, wether it's targeted at them or not. When looking at ATW don't forget what you see there is simultaneously served to millions of users daily throughout dozens of countries.
ATW is in fact one of the smallest outlets of the index. So it is in use, it's been tried & tested under heavy load real life conditions - for years already.

Yes I agree, BUT they have never encounted the amount of spammers trying to minipulate the SERPS as the big G. If AllTheWeb gets very popular with "joe public" spammers will move in for the kill more determined than before. Can AllTheWeb hack it? Steve

It can't be too difficult to ID the loopholes and ringfence them. It is going to be a taget anyway and needs to bolt the doors and batton the hatches! I'm pleased with ATW and firmly believe that it is enjoying Google's slippery moments.
