Just did a site search and I guess no one has seen this. I've discovered something new :).

It's a new UK based search engine / directory but I'm not impressed.

Looks like it just returns PPC results from advertising.com, although I am uncertain of where the backfill comes from.

part of Advertising.com

They clain to have "the largest reach of any internet network in the UK and up to 1 billion monthly impressions"

So why the PR0 then? Something not quite right.

Search results seem to be from Overture.

Click on any of the home page links and then mouseover any of the results and right click, it puts the URL in the bottom left of the browser window which are from Overture
