I like what they're trying to do, but I just don't see them doing a good job of it. We changed our domain name in August of last year, but Blekko is still surfacing our old name.

When you search for "credit card processing" we aren't in the top 100 on Blekko (though we're 2nd page on goog) but there are several sites that have NOTHING to do with credit card processing that are near the top of the list...

I think their crawling just takes a LOT of time/resources and I don't see them getting there anytime soon. Another issue is that their engine requires tags to use effectively and the layman won't learn the tags.
