RE: UKNM: Bad search engines

[Jude Beggs]

What makes the keyword system so different from the user perspective, is

that they only get high quality results- no rubbish- no dead links -no links

leading to britney spears nude mpegs ('less thats what your after). What the

user gets is quality. That quality is dictated by sites who are prepared to

pay be seen. This means that godado becomes a great resource for shopping

and services sites and thats the attraction to the user. If we have an

undersubscribed category, our subscriber results are always backed up by the

exhaustive results of mamma.com, so you can still see britney in the buff.


I dont really get the logic of claims that sites are "imposing" on you, we

offer a way for sites acheive the ranking they require, rather than the

ranking that a traditional search engine "imposes" on you. And you dont get

fleeced paying someone to place bribes.

I don't know about anyone else - but from a user perspective, if I use a

search engine I want to see results which are pertinent to the keywords

I have used to guide the search - I do not want to have results pushed

at me from organisations and companies who have paid to impose their

high listing on my search. A search based on a pure index, or an open

directory are always far more useful than any of the ilk of affiliate

portals masquerading as search engines.


If an site-builder or content owner cannot obtain high results for

relevancy through proper indexing and keywords, and planning spider

paths through their content, they are not doing their job properly IMHO.

Resorting to paying to place just smacks of laziness and inaccuracy.

If it ain't broke - don't fix it ;-)
