The Other Search Engines

Hi,

I just discovered the importance of Dogpile- it’s a meta search engine. It is commonly used as reference for a majority of online tools. I checked out the results and observed many ads that said- ‘sponsored by’ and ‘found on ads by Google’. It appears to me that they are mixing natural listings and paid listings. If they are paid, then it is not a big nofollow deal since they route via a click server. Plus, they are tagged as ads so there is nothing fishy about it. But they are not divided in blocks the way Google does it.

The "importance" of Dogpile????

You are kidding, right?

Dogpile was once a good, upcoming SE.

Then google came along and wrecked all that.

Dogpile is nothing more than a pile of dog...

Used dogpile about ten years ago (or so)...it was great...
Now I think it has become so-so.......

If you want to play with some meta search engines do a Google search...there are some that seem to be pretty good...
My opinion is that the money has taken over from the quality....

The fact is that no one search engine is as so important as Google is
