Re: alltheweb is it worth it?
I've had the same experience
I think maybe if you are targeting US trafiic it might be worth looking at but for the UK I think they only impact on Lycos (which is less than 5% of the market at best)
The only other thing to mention is that AlltheWeb/Fast seem to be currently the only search technology other than google that is remotely useful. So if google was to be challenged it could be them. However personally I think they have had their chance & that the ultimately inevitable challenge to google will come from a relative unknown with some new USP.
