What if...?

    I have been using the Yahoo mindset tool Yahoo Mindset and I find it to be very impressive as it can filter out content sites from shopping sites, and from an unbiased point of view, it can actually get it right most of the time.

    But what do you think would happen if Google was to implement this tool into it's search engine, because personally I think that if Google would ever implement the technology to do this it would literally change the world of search on the internet completely.

    Woah. That would make a pretty big change in the search engine landscape. The $64,000 question is: Would the average searcher take the time to use it?

    Pretty neat tool, but I'm not sure what criteria it uses to determine if it is a commercial site or a research site. This will definitely change search results very much.

    But what a headache it would be to try to optimize for SE! ;)

    Came accross it a while ago and introduced it to quite a few friends (non seo) who use it for research some of them are chosing it over google...

    Most use it when google fails them... I love it.. ;)

    I'm really amazed how well it works... didn't find a site where it was wrong with its clasification.

    commercial to informecial, the score is -2 to 2. it is NOT difficult to Artificial Intelligence. The question is: what is the balance between these two? totally depends on users.
