On 6/30/01 I decided to test WISEnut's submission feature, and I submitted a single url, for the home page of a new site that wasn't in their index that I thought would make a good test site. I've been checking since, and finally...

The site is now indexed, just about exactly two months later... all main pages including and ranking well... very similar to Google results... including some framed pages and framesets.

WISEnut now is offering something else that reminds me of Google... they're caching pages. They have a Sneak-a-Peek feature that puts the cached page in what appears to be an iFrame window... It's a tiny window... clumsy to use... without the highlighting etc of Google.

But the results are great... at least for the way I optimize. :)

Thanks for that Robert, it gives us an idea of how long to wait from submission to appearing in the database.

Do you know how long from submission to when the spider came around to deep crawl the site?

Less than a month for my site, submitted at the start of August, now in results.

My guess is an crawl and update over the last couple of months.

Anyone know what their spider is called?

Horray! Yippee! Another site is into their index, unfortunately, that seems like a long time lag...two months between submit, and index.

Wow. Their results keep getting better and better. (not just because they indexed me). Unique results, too. Let's see, why would I switch to this engine (if I hadn't already)?

Best results on the 'net (IMHO), they don't seem to rotate results (to drive ad revenue like Google), and I haven't heard people saying getting cookies from them alters results, either. All in all, I don't know their game plan, but I'm sold. :)

>>that seems like a long time lag...two months between submit, and index<<

I was thinking about this, and I'm not sure this result will project into the future. Obviously, they've just done a bunch of stuff on their site, including re-indexing. It may be this means they'll now be indexing on a more regular basis... or it may mean that this was a special event and we'll have to wait longer next time around.

No data on spidering on this particular site, unfortunately...

Ian - When did your site appear in the results? Was it the same date as mine, or was it earlier? This might tell us a little more about their indexing patterns...

I'm also keeping my eye on how agressively they're following links to modified sites on their own.

About 2 months for me also.

The "sneek a peek" isn't a cache ... but opens the real site in an iframe. Though with mozilla/gecko it takes you straight to the site. (Guys -- gecko can handle iframes :) )

Not seen this before ... nice idea though .. might start putting more "target=top"'s in my links though.

I found the listing after reading your first post here, I haven't yet received any referrals from wisenut so didn't check out listings before.

Just noticed a Wisenut referral from today. I don't recall ever submitting. But I'll take my number one ranking and as a user, I love the Sneak-a-peek feature.

Oh no! Jeremy will go ape-****!

It appears we have an honest-to-goodness crawling spider on our hands. What to do? Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines!

I'm surprised it was added yet. They had a couple of initial builds, but I was under the impression that the official launch wasn't until a week from today - so spidering would be sporadic while the system stabilizes.

He he, RCJ. I just might go APE#### after today, after all. But for unrelated news.

Referrals, from WISEnut. Now that they added my site, I'm tapping my fingers, too. I could stand to get a lot...their algo seems to adore my handiwork :)

ZyBorg/1.0 hits your site to confirm the URL directly after submission. Looks like its putting it in a que for the deep spider.
