ARE YOU HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING HOW-TO AND OTHER INFORMATION? If you Google "how to" -- you will get 979 million leads, while "how-to" (with a dash) gets you 1 billion, 10 million leads. That is obviously way too many to sort through. We love Google -- but there must be an easier way to find stuff. We are trying to help by putting all that information (those billion-plus leads) into a more easily digested and useful form. Read what DMOZ has to say (
on 9/10/07 ), in part, at << http://www.dmoz.org/about.html >>. "The
web continues to grow at staggering rates. Automated search
engines are increasingly unable to turn up useful results to
search queries. The small paid editorial staffs at commercial directory sites
can't keep up with submissions, and the quality and comprehensiveness of
their directories has suffered. Link rot is setting in and
they can't
keep pace with the growth of the Internet." I now find out that these words can't be attributed to Google, as I thought. -- they might not own or control DMOZ as I had assumed. See On top of that -- wannabe entrepreneurs are buying up abandoned website names and filling the sites with unrelated search information -- hoping to make a few cents each time a visitor clicks on an ad. In some cases, they put pornography on the sites in an effort to hook a few people who will pay for porn. TWO RELATED EXAMPLES OF INEFFICIENCY: #1) If you search "making quilts" on
Google, you get 2,200,000 leads. Most of them are junk-sites and are less
than worthless, having lots of extraneous material and dead leads which will
waste your time( try it and see if you agree with us ). True quilters simply "know" Eleanor
Burns, her company "Quilt in a Day", and her website through word-of-mouth
and her television shows -- but neither "Eleanor Burns" or "Quilt
in a Day" is among the first 150 leads from Google. This shows how difficult
it is for a neophyte to find things by simply searching on the internet through
fill-in search windows. Here is a NY Times article on these wannabe entrepreneurs -- it is not a trivial business #2) Note the two searches below for “Boxed Sets of Music”. (a) The first is from a search at "Times Topics", where I typed in "boxed sets" at the following URL. (b) The same search in Google, where I typed in "boxed sets of music" resulted in 707,000 leads compiled by machines (try-it). Which, of (a) or (b) would you rather wade through? This shows what we think is a real advantage in relying on (a) directories compiled by humans and (b) limited search windows rather than massive search engines.” It certainly seems like it a good idea to start many searches by first going to the NY Times and seeing what information they have in their archives on the subject of your interest. We evaluate every site we link to and only put up sites that seem legitimate. If you find us linking to junk sites -- please contact us immediately -- so we can scrap the link.
