Have you guys heard of this new search engine? blekko.com Its AWESOME! I am not going to lie it might even be better than google. They use a bunch of new technology to help screen out spam and it seems like they are winning. Their results are very good. Oh and the best part is that my site ranks #1 for my main keywords. In google I only rank in the 9-20 range. Check it out!
Netscape have tried this before and failed. Anything human edited will never be able to catch up with the number of sites produced
I know they are using scoutjet web crawler for search result and this crawler is created by the DMOZ founder. But I don't think they are as good as Google. I am not fancy at them because they have not listed my site.
Blekko's been around for ages, but they never managed to impress me (not so relevant serps). They do have some nice tools.
I've not heard of it before and stats on my sites don't show visitors coming from it. The tools look useful but don't seem to work properly and everything seems out of date. Will be keeping an eye on it though as it could be good in the future.
Blekko has been getting a lot of buzz lately. it's important to note that they show 20 searches on page 1 and not 10. One thing they seem to do extremely well is limit SERPs to one per domain per search when possible. For example if you search for "game trailers" on Google you get almost nothing but gametrailers.com results. However, a game trailer is a type of video advertising product and not a brand. While the first result is relevant the several subdomains under it are not as relevant as other websites that display game trailers and should rank on page 1. Blekko catches most of this and gives the user a variety of websites to choose from.
True but theres two fundamental problems with that, first how would they keep up, second how would you make sure that those people that vetted the result dont have ulterior motive or interest themselves, say like DMOZ?
Exactly. That's why Google and Bing use a Human Rating System to review search queries for p1-p10 results a user might see and include that data in the algo
