Blekko : Clarifying The Web Search Through Innovative Techniques

We all know about the search engine Google which is the greatest search engine as of now but that does not mean that it cannot be beaten by some new algorithm or a better idea. The new search engine blekko that uses human input to help it sort out the world implements a different approach to compete with Google machine technique.

The search engine makes use of a group of initial users built up categories of the sites they like, and designated them in domains marked with a “slash” (/) symbol, which the public signs onto and builds upon. The search engine also includes an SEO page for individual search results, the ability to comment on a particular site and even the search result’s IP address just by placing the mouse over the link.

The main differentiator of the search engine blekko is the slash tags that are essentially introduced for filtering of search results.Core slash tags are maintained by the community and consist of a list of domains that are considered authoritative on issues on those categories.

 
   
The search engine algorithmically detects when a search query would normally return a lot of spam-oriented results from within a certain category, generally from SEO farms. It then automatically applies the relevant slash tag so that users never see spam-oriented content to begin with.

The search engine blekko searches three billion web pages that it considers worthwhile but it only shows the top results on any given topic. The information seekers can also search for results from one site, narrow searches by type or search by topic.
