Some kind of take-off of WatchUseek.com?

I saw them on the 2nd - did the same thing - robots.txt and index page - haven't been back.

Not here either. I guess 'this' similar sounding domain name doesn't alarm anyone. <shrug>

I got a sticky that suggested this is probably nothing more than a log spamer 'site submitting' by only spaming one single UA string, which I saw as a referral.

Think 'start-up' engine.....

Still gotta wonder though. How come the flap surrounding Google sound-a-likes and not this one? Perhaps because the one they're mimicking wasn't/isn't so big?
