The Entireweb network now provides over 150 Million searches per month,
this includes sites such as Entireweb, Mamma.com, Ixquick.com,
Epilot.com, Moonmist and several other major search engines on the Internet.

That number seems a bit high, considering their Alexa ranking of 7 thousand something.

Though I guess I can't complain when I checked, I rank well for being me :)

Does anybody get traffic from this place? That figure would put them at 1/30th of the figure on Google AdWords for their search volume...something seems a bit odd about that.

<That number seems a bit high,>

Yeah but Ixquick and mamma will help them alot.

Unfortuniully there is no good traffic from them but it can be in the future! they have big plans.

"That number seems a bit high, considering their Alexa ranking of 7 thousand something".

Please note that the user does not ever come in contact with entireweb.com's servers.

The search partners parse the search feed and print the link out to the user and then the user clicks to the result page.

If entireweb had a counter on all their links e.g. entireweb.com/cg-bin/count.cgi?l=http://www.webmasterworld.com, then their rating will be much higher from the amount of searches they receive.

This would be the same for google. Google would probably take yahoo's place as number 1.

Do you unserstand what I mean?

Looking at the company home page for World light, they still haven't updated their info (it says, last month, 117 million)...and that date on their site says August, 2002. :)

And, I have yet to see a press release...perhaps there is one in Swedish?

As for the explanation, thanks! Though honestly, I know how XML feeds work -> and the visitor, indeed, would have to actually show up at the site for the Alexa ranking to change. :)

Perhaps the reason for my skeptisism is that I can't find referral #1 for any of my sites...? Well, all my sites are in English, so it could be the demographic thing.

But hey -> more competition in the search engine field is always a good thing.

If anybody has a press release link, go ahead and post it!

<added> Does anybody aside from me find it odd that with EntireWeb's reach, they advertise SEO services for every other engine on the planet? :)

When I did some searches on entireweb.com it seemed that every even numbered search result was directly from google and the odd numbered results were paid listings.

Now that I look at it more, it seems that it is google results somewhat randomly interspersed with paid results.
