Is Google facing stiff competition from Cuil? Well I really don’t think so… Have a look at the screenshot below. I searched for the keyword “Cuil” in cuil.com and it lead to no cuil.com pages being listed. Then I did a search for “http://www.cuil.com” and once more no cuil pages appeared therefore one may safely assume that cuil.com hasen’t been spidered yet. Well Cuil is definitely not off to a good start…..

I guess you already heard about it, Cuil, a search engine that has been mentioned prominently lately in the media. Why so? Well cause this search engine has been developed by a group of ex google employees and therefore the expectations around it are pretty high. So did you have a look at it? if not just go to http://www.cuil.com.

The makers or Cuil are boasting that cuil is the search engine that spiders most pages which is true but on the other hand I hope that they don’t boast on it’s layout and search results. I really don’t like the colour scheme and the way the results appear, I think it is too messy. The search results are something else that I don’t like, Google’s search results are by far better than Cuil’s, to mention it all even yahoo’s, ask’s and live’s search results are better. But not all is bad, a feature that I really liked is the related search feature. When someone searches for a particular keyword, Cuil offers a few related searches which will narrow’s one search results and help him find what he wants quicker. Summing it all up I really think that there still is a long way to go if they really want to compete with the big G.

Ever wished to purchase online securely? Now it is possible with Paypal. I am sure that most of you already have a paypal account and use it to purchase online, but unluckily not all websites accept paypal. Well now paypal have come up with a solution for that with the paypal plugin. With paypal plugin it’s possible to purchase safely online through any website. The main advantages of the paypal plugin are two:

1. paying without revealing your credit card details

2. keeping all invoices in one place

For now the paypal plugin is available only to US Accounts but hopefully it will become available to other countries asap. If you still don’t have a paypal account click on the image below and sign up for your FREE account. Having a paypal account is a must in today’s online world.

Many people ask themselves the one million dollar question which is, is it possible to make money on the internet? The answer to that question is YES! It is possible to make money on the internet and anyone can do it but it’s not as simple as some people state. First of all one must have some general knowledge of how the internet works, without such knowledge you won’t manage to succeed. Also to be successful on the internet you need to be focused, organized, highly motivated, persistent and confident. Being focused is very important because once you discover the vast range of opportunities that are available for making money online you might get lost. What I mean is that you have to do good research and decide what you are going to do, don’t end up starting multiple projects or moving from one project to another because you will never end up finishing anything. Organization is a must, a project will include lots of material, just to mention a few - domains, hosting, content, graphics and more…. You have to be able to find anything at anytime. Motivation, persistence and confidence are essential to your success. As in anything in life you have to be prepared to fail, as you’ll almost certainly fail in the beginning, but you must be persistent and learn from you failures. This is why motivation is very important, because when you really wish something it will definitely happen, the only question is when will it happen. I suggest that you watch the video and click the link beneath it, there you will find an e-book that will explain what the Law of Attraction is and how it works. If you apply the things mentioned in the e-book, your life will definitely change to the better.

YES it is! I was one of those guys that didn’t like Facebook and considered it a waste of time. The reason why I never liked Facebook were the applications, I always thought that they made Facebook appear too cluttered. On the other hand I always thought that Facebook is a cool way to keep in touch with everyone. Before moving on I’d like to repeat myself once more by saying that IMO Facebook is a time waster but I have to admit that I did start loving it, even the applications! How come the change of heart? Well I received an invitation to a mobsters game (Facebook application) called “Mob Wars” and I must admit that it really got to me. I always had a liking to these mafia games, I found Mob Wars very relaxing, it is a very simple game but at the same time the fact that I am playing against other people makes it very interesting. Now I ended up logging into Facebook every few hours just to check my status in Mob Wars and keep things going. Hope I’ll manage to rule the city!

Do you remember the time when you had just started using the internet? Quite some while ago now, hey? Well at that time you might have used the internet just to check your emails. Than once you got bored of just reading your mail you started using a search engine to explore the internet. Do you still remember what search engine you used to use? Personally in 1997 I used Mamma but than a few years later I started using Yahoo and finally, since around 2001, I’ve been using Google. But wait, just because I am using Google it doesn’t mean that Google is the best search engine. I don’t believe that there is a search engine that everyone must use, every person has different expectations of what a search engine should have and do and should choose the best one for him. In my case I use Google for 3 main reasons which are:

1. Speed - Google is very fast and for me time is very precious
2. Results Relevance - I find Google’s search results to be the best around at present
3. Market Share - As you might already know Google has the biggest market share when it comes to search and since I work as a full time search engine marketer I would like to know what the majority of internet users are finding when searching on Google.

Other current top search engines are Yahoo, Live, Ask and Dogpile. Below you’ll find a table that lists these search engines and rates every feature from 1 to 10, with 10 being excellent.
