I tried cuil the first day it came out and found it... well, to be blunt, not incredibly great. It didn't find much of anything I searched for, sometimes saying there were no results for incredibly common things like "ship" or showing ludicrously unrelated pages. I wondered if they were doing any better now so I gave it a few example queries to see what would pop up and compared it to google.
cockatiel = cuil gave me the American Cockatiel Society, cockatiel.com, and a couple other cockatiel related sites. However, one of the pictures shows an African Grey parrot next to the ACS website!
google gave me similar sites, plus the wikipedia entry on cockatiels. Google loves the wikipedia. The only picture it showed was of a cockatiel singing the legend of zelda theme song (strange, but relevant).
slashdot = Both sites gave me links to slashdot.org and a bunch of the subsections, like apple and politics. However, google also gave me the wikipedia link.
angel unix catharsis minimalist = This deliberately nonsensical list of words brought back no results on cuil, but 629 on google. Some of them even made some sort of sense, e.g. "minimalist fonts by Angel".
So it looks like google is still better than cuil, IMHO. Any thoughts?
Anyone tried cuil recently?

Well, to get more traffic, create a more unique and attractive site content to invite more visitors to view your site. In that way, you can generate more site traffic.

You need Google analytics for tracking your traffic. Google webmaster tools for tracking your keywords. And Yahoo site Explorer to track links back to your site as Google does like to provide this info in a reliable manner.
