I dont' pay much attention to them myself, but it seems that they update at least *some* of the index every 2 weeks or so, based on the occasional click I've received.

Do you get much AV traffic nube? Scooter assaults my sites but really no traffic.

I get zip from AV despite regular spidering. I might as well not be in AV as all that finds me is an exact search for domain name. I can't belive it's anything in my site as no other SE has a problem at all.
Any change - as mentioned on another thread here - would have to be an improvement.

Gee Wiz,

I just looked at Av and it looks like they've cleaned up a little bit of spam and it also looks like they are emulating adwords on the right hand side.

Is anyone actaully getting any traffic from AV besides scooter?

Almost zilch here, and I have *excellent* SERPs on Altavista, even on single keyword searches. Tons of traffic from Google though. Only thing that I can say is that the demographics of the users of my sites is largely children and young adults. If Altavista has a lot of users, they aren't young people.
