Hi Guys.
I often do a search looking for some information and Google returns lots of websites.
But many of them at the top have old or outdated information.
This is useless and time consuming !
I thought Google aimed to provide the best search results !
Eg today I was looking for a forum on another topic and found one that looked great till I saw that the newest entry was 2006 !
What is the point of joining that forum. There were others lower down that were current and right up to date.

Then why don't you put dates in your search terms if dates are important to you??

For example, namecheap coupons expire quickly so most you find will be out of date. So search for "namecheap coupon July 2009".

The problem isn't located in the software, it's located in front of the keyboard.

Yes One have to understand the google searching strategies to get accurate results.

u must enter your keywords correctly to get those results

google results is useful depends on what you are looking for... search for the right term and you'll find what you need.

Google search engine has an options beside the web and when you click the show options you can filter the results to most updated post.

Here's the sample screen shots:

I thought Google's mission was to provide people with the most relavant search results - not force them to spend ten minutes refining their search parameters !

I do have found the same thing when i search in blogsearch.google . The first 4 to 5 pages looks relevant but the rest are of no use. Any suggestion?

it depends on the search query..try to play with kws when you are searching.. internet is so huge.. and google are crawling and indexing alot of sites..

I thought Google's mission was to provide people with the most relavant search results - not force them to spend ten minutes refining their search parameters ! Try searching for different combination's for searching.

Google gives you what you ask for, but you need to supply enough information in your query. For example, searching for a forum and searching for a forum with recent posts are two different things entirely. You need to be more specific.

Do you have an example of a problem search?

For example searching on Google an error (fatal error: some weird stuff happened) usually gave me a full page of results with pages that suffer from the error.. websites that print that error.
On the other hand, the same query on Yahoo shows helpful results on solving the problem.

Google have its faults, but i don't think you'll find a more relevant search engine.

Plus.. off page SEO destroys big time the search results.
When a website becomes to be rated on some values like SEO techniques knowledge, financial resources directed to promote the website vs none resources directed to raise the quality of the website, etc. than yes.. Google won't show you what Google wants you to see.. you will see instead the results of the most resourcefull website owners... too bad this doesn't mean that the results wll be relevant to your search
