Truveo announced that its video search engine has reached an audience of almost 40 million monthly unique visitors. Since October of 2006, it has also seen a 50% month-over-month increase in usage across all of the websites powered by Truveo.

“Users are realizing that their favorite video may no longer be available on video sharing sites due to copyright issues, but they can still easily find legal versions of those videos elsewhere on the Web through a video search engine like Truveo,” said Timothy Tuttle, CEO and Co-Founder of Truveo and Senior Vice President of AOL Video.

In addition, Truveo™, which already powers some of the most popular video sites on the Web, extended its reach with a number of significant new partners who are using the company’s video search engine to power video search on their websites and applications. These new partners include: Brightcove, Clevver, CSTV, Flock, Pageflakes, PureVideo, Qwest, Search.com, Sportingo, Netvibes, Widgetbox and YourMinis. These new partners join AOL Video, AOL Search, Excite, Infospace, Microsoft Corporation and hundreds of others who are already using Truveo.
