Great point-- I imagine this is quicker for him that an adwords clone, which might require some clickfraud protection, self-serve flow, payment processing, etc.

Great point-- I imagine this is quicker for him that an adwords clone, which might require some clickfraud protection, self-serve flow, payment processing, etc. AFAIK, the OP is just one person... I recall reading a study about who clicks on ads, and the OP's demographic is decidedly not it. You can play the "pay per click" game if your audience clicks. Otherwise, he might have better luck with the "pay per influence" stuff that The Deck does.
To the OP: a question regarding your stats page. Would you be willing to post more stats? Specifically, I'd love to know how many uniques visit more than 10x per month. In other words, how many people are using you as a primary search engine in their life?
- epi0Bauqu 16y agoYou're right--I'm focused on improving search results right now. As for stats, I don't have those as I don't store IPs (http://duckduckgo.com/privacy.html http://duckduckgo.com/privacy.html & http://ye.gg/ddgp http://ye.gg/ddgp). I do know that before the switch (to no IPs) I had about ~500K page views and ~150K uniques, so scaling that up I'd estimate 360K uniques (worldwide, i.e. compete.com is just US). I still don't know how many are 10x/month, but obviously much lower.
