Hi - The one problem with using the site is that the top 3 spots are sponsored links. So the top 3 spots are not necessarily the most relevant. I bought 3 keywords for http://www.calmnatural.com and one just ran out. One keyword I still have is “Natural Calm”, try it, my site will be number one on that search 33% of the time. Just don’t click on it there, unless you are genuinely interested as it will cost me $0.10.

Thanks for stopping by here Ryan.

The scrolling ability is a great function and a good way to look through data, but I wonder if it really is better than just a plain old list. For one, as you say, the load times are quite noticeable and contrast sharply to the search engines we use everyday. Another drawback is I can’t copy and paste the search results and send them to someone or save them; those search results are locked into that scroll wheel.

The giraffe is real cool.

Hey man,

Thanks for your comment on my Qtrax review.

I just gave RedZee a try. I’ve got to say that I love the scrolling view. People are really taking to that form of content organization.

Also, the mascot is a really nice touch. It’s something so small, but I’m digging the the animated, goofy giraffe.

I guess the only downside I can see to the screen views is the load time associated with it. It took me around 5-10 seconds to do a search that I knew would generate a lot of results. I guess I’ve been so accustomed to the fast paced nature of searching that it was weird to regress.

Thanks again, and talk to you soon.

Ryan
