I’ve been noticing a trend that i really dont like. Out of the 20 first results for all searches, there’s almost always an amazon book, a page from lycos, pages from substandard search engines, and a page from the yahoo directory.
If i wanted to search from those other search engines i would have went there first. If i wanted a book i would add the word ‘book’ at the end of my query. I love reading more than the average person but when i’m looking for something i want a website not a book, if i did i’d head to amazon.
These results have nothing to do with quality. Does anyone have any idea when yahoo is dumping google? All i see here are corporate listings. It’s also a little ludicrous to expect that the average person has to spend countless hours a day to learn what google wants for the privilege of being listed.
