As the search is powered by google, what does your site offer that google or any other search engine does not? I know you've got a video there but it just seems kind of random. Maybe add somthing that other search engines do not have, can't think of an example right now though.

Sorry if I'm coming across harsh, I just don't see many people wanting to use it since they could just use Google straight up which is (obviously) very well established.

the first thing to ask yourself when making a site is why people would come to your site? What does it offer? I wouldn't go to this site myself, why would other people?

thanks vitalink.
metros, i did use yahoo search marketing but that was no good.
i've not really advertised it majorly, as i don't know what the best thing to do is.
i was looking into banner exchange though

The site looks clean and neat, but I don't think I will go to your site to search something on web instead of "Google it".
