Site Rank

Cuil thinks I am a Scientologist

Yesterday, a new search engine Cuil launched with a lot of mixed results. Most reviews of the site say it is no Google and I tend to agree thus far. This article does a decent job of explaining the pros and cons of the new site as well as the potential market for this new type of search engine. While the magazine style layout is different and seems to give more accurate look at the link you are about to click, as the article stated the results are not up to par. On every other major search engine I have a number one ranking. On Cuil, my Facebook profile is on the first page, but this site is buried five pages deep. When you do finally see a result for my site, the results are amusing and scary at the same time.

#1

Before I changed over this site to be PHP based I had attained a #1 search ranking on Google with the terms Bradley Robertson. Once I switched over I quickly lost that ranking and I was buried several pages deep. Now I have once again regained that ranking. One of the things I attribute that to is that previously I didn't have meta descriptions of key words for my site. Unlike a lot of people I didn't spam my key words. Mainly I was getting my ranking from my page title. Unfortunately when I switched formats the title was BradleyRobertson.com Now it is of course Bradley Robertson dot com. This made my keyword easier to index.
