Interesting thing about Cuil is that some of my clients actually got some ok traffic from it last week. Most likely these were just people checking it out one time but it was still impressive for a site noone had ever heard of ten days ago.
I wasn't impressed with my first look at Cuil, but it's so new I think it deserves some time to see where it goes. I saw a few other reports of Cuil sending a good amount of traffic the last few days too.
Dave makes some good points about why Cuil may do better than initial reports would indicate
Cuil is one of the best Google rivals as far as I can see. I'd use it along Lexxe via Firefox plugin. The results for my usual SEO test phrases were quite relevent, even where others failed miserably.
I still can't past the vanity search. Cuil can find my site when I search for my business name with no spaces as in my domain. But when I put the spaces in it finds no information. Considering they claim to be putting more emphasis on on-page factors and I always spell the company name on the site with the space I think they should be able to find it.
Granted it's just a vanity search for me, but if they can't get that right I wonder what else they aren't getting right.
On the other hand I would like to see them do well and know they just launched. I'll still be checking on them and rooting for them. It's early and I expect the results will improve.
I agree with you vangogh..there are really some problems that Cuil staff should consider...^^
