- daolf 4y agoYup, they build everything and it costed them $60m. That’s an impressive bet. And without funding! https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/03/yep-search-engine/amp/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmZyLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAK1nqpzzdrnQIarJag8sEAKMCJH3YLptZ2e4BGvcbqtofNFPaCc20lYP6uWxEmv-e1I_YpAOh2Ni2TTT93WBAW7r9muZOliPehNgk5OMcjAWoPp5HdV_G0j6Axn5izKmv-ZWcvfqAkK_0GXMDzmH7NevsmXzqcHUJZ_082dPT2pX https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/03/yep-search-engine/amp/?guc...
- slater 4y agodownside: doesn't seem to care much for boolean ("-keyword") search terms, instead opting for the modern thing of "let's actually search for that keyword, too!" v______v
- botsbreeder 4y agoNo boolean search yet.
- throwaway2016a 4y agoI wonder if they are including in that the money they already invested in the Ahrefs SEO tools. It seems to me that their SEO tools were already crawling a lot of content so this may be an extension of that / a new way to monetize the data. I personally know a lot of people who pay for their SEO tools so I imagine they have a decent amount of revenue.
- botsbreeder 4y agoThere is a lot of intersection between Ahrefs tools and search. We were collecting web data for Ahrefs tools for 12 years, now we repurpose these data for Yep.
- botsbreeder 4y agoWe do indexing ourselves and don't use any third-party APIs.
