The redirects are appalling, search engine spam run rampant. I can't believe that it's so difficult to create an algo that can determine site content, age, linking structure, relevency of linking, relevency of content, keyword density vs content density, etc. I believe these are a few of the things that could determine "real" content from internet spam. If you master your search quality then you can give Google a go for a larger peice of the pie. Good luck as we are all routing for you, the Big G needs some serious competition to keep them "honest"..

What I mean is have traditional pull precipitated search brought to a higher level of relevancy by having the search be informed by what's "out of the box".

Dilbert: What does it do? (continues looking at his computer) Dogbert: You better start clicking on something or else I send you some books. Book clubs were doing this long before the Internet became popular. Dogbert is going to lose his patent because of prior art.
