After researching the source it turned out to be cuill's spider crawling the web for content at an unacceptable speed.<BR/> <BR/>In my research I found thousands of webmasters who experienced the same hyperactive spider robbing bandwidth/resources.<BR/> <BR/>As a result of Cuill's spider's activity, thousands of sites requested to be removed from their spidering. Cuill obliged, possibly to the detriment of their SERPs.<BR/> <BR/>1. Will these same webmasters want to be indexed by Cuill's spider now? Doubtful.<BR/>2. Will this have an adverse affect on Cuill's results? Absolutely.<BR/>3. Will Cuill remove the requested bans in order to improve their search results to keep their investors happy?

We will have to wait and watch, if cuil can do something cuil..<BR/><BR/>As an aside, isn't it interesting how so many people search for their names? I wonder if these search engines analyze logs of their first few days of operation, and are able to effectively associate a person's identity with his/her IP address.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
