Looks like Gigablast is still chugging away, anyone want to take bets as to how long?

I don't really know....my bet is end of summer, they luanch with trumpets blaring, and proceed to grab market share like crazy :)

At least, one can hope, eh? The guy seems to have put together some decent tech....however, most of the advanced algorithms are really based on link anaylsis of one kind or another...and as the guy said when he posted here, there has to be a lot of stuff in the db for that to take effect.

So, I must say, I'm looking forward to seeing exactly how well it works when it's a nice, big, stable database.

September - Gigablast will launch (no idea, really, just a guess).

Their database is amazing. I'm missing the advanced search link in consecutive searches.

The url comes up as a page not found for us today. Yesterday it was a dns problem. Another day another problem.

We are also getting slammed by them even though the page does not come up:

The firewall has blocked Internet access to your computer (ICMP Time Exceeded) from 208.254.87.1.

Occurred: 8 times between 05/13/2002 8:19:00 AM and 05/13/2002 8:23:00 AM

I'm not sure what, if anything, that means.

Maybe they are trying to track who is submitting what to cut down on the spam rate? I have no idea as I am ignorant of what they are trying to do with their hammering of my IP ;)

Looks like gigablast has a new look. Also I have noticed Gigabot/1.0 spidering my site as of yesterday. I don't have an IP but is this Gigablasts new spider?

I noticed them in my logs today. They have a new IP and a new look.

No more images on Gigablast? Too much bandwidth?"

That is amazing!!

I added a URL, and less than 40 seconds later it was showing up in the index. Since it was a brand new page, just made up a few minutes ago, there is little doubt that it is almost instant spidering.

Could this be the one that kills the crappo SE's?

WindSun,

They just need to work on the relevancy of the results among other things. It would be very easy to spam and control Gigablast results as it is. I am sure they will work things out in the end ;)
