Sorry for the delay, Burf.com is now back up and running, indexing more than ever, twice as much hardware and an even bigger pipe! Please do some searches and let us know what you think!
Burf.com will be down most of this weeked (12-13th Jan) due to updates to the indexing engine. We hope to have it back up as soon as possible.
Just a quick post to let everyone know that we are still alive. Currently trying out new functions and areas to add to Burf.com. Burf.TV and Burf.mobi are coming soon, plus a few more portals!!
Burf.com is currently undergoing some hardware software changes due to repeated problems with downtime etc. Once these nasties are sorted, work will continue on a new search engine with a new look and feel. We are sorry that the site has been down and not had much updated content, this will change once these bugs are sorted! We can then develop lots of cool features that we always planned to!

You can now exchange links with Burf.com for free. This can help bring traffic to your site and even get you indexed in other search engines quicker. It also helps us index your site.
We are working on bringing our network of search engines and directories closer together to produce better results for our advertisers. As you can see, we now list our main search engines and directories on the Burf.com homepage. These will be our focus point for the next few months in increasing awareness and traffic to them. Each one will be setup for the ISEDN.org as this gives the best type of coverage for our customers. Our aim is to have 30 popular sites for people to use.
We are also looking at different advertising feeds (ppc etc) to increase the quality of results that users are presented with.
Lately I have had some serious problems with the search engine part of the site. This has mainly been due to our database expanding at a rapid size and reaching hardware limits. I have had 3 disks fail with over 300 Gigs worth of search data go down over the Christmas period this has also caused problems with the main software engine. I am still puzzled on why this has happened and I am working on making sure this does not happen again.
Happy New Year ALL
