Please contact me, Matthew Johnson on 01254 56780 or matt@bullhorn.co.uk to discuss opportunities and investment. The reason for this announcement is that we've been approached for investment by a private company, however we are open to better offers. Hi Everyone

And the results are crap, don't care how big your index is. On a separate note anyone notice that direct lines motor page has been pushed back to page 5, the very same page that was #4 spot 4 weeks ago for the term car insurance. Methinks a link buying penalty has been applied. I think they’ve got some major usability issues going on with the formatting. And the results are crap, don’t care how big your index is.

Bullhorn is there! And it's very confusing that the "Mini" graphic for our site shows up for QuoteZone... and I thought they were supposed to be a competitor of ours. Cuil, definately needs a lot more work... lol! Bullhorn is there!

I'm a bit suspicious). If you take a look at what elsse ranks for the term 'cuil' you'll find properazzi.com (a property finder site) which was ranked 1st yesterday but now in...2nd? 5th? I guess it depends on how you look at it! The ranking page on properazzi.com does not contain the word 'cuil' anywhere, but, if you look at the ranking URL, it's; http://www.properazzi.com/Cuil-Mhuine+Ireland/sale/ Which 301 re-directs to http://www.properazzi.com/Ireland/County-Sligo/Collooney/property/sale So the "World's Biggest Search Engine" takes a keyword from a URL that is a 301 re-direct as one of its most relevant sites?? Google must be running scared right now! They weren’t even ranking themselves for the search term ‘cuil’ until this morning (was this a manual edit? I’m a bit suspicious).
