Blekko Changes Algorithm for its Search Engine Results

The upcoming search engine, Blekko is a better way to search the web by using slashtags. A slashtag is a tool to filter search results, rather than searching the entire web, a slashtag allows you to search just the sites you want searched.

As Google changed its algorithm for Content Farms which was emphasized in search engine news, similarly Blekko is changing its algorithm for low quality sites. Earlier they had banned about 20 websites but now they are banning 1.1 million websites from its search engines. They are blocking those particular websites which have less content and overflooded with ads.

“Google didn’t actually take anyone out, they just reshuffled the deck,” said Rich Skrenta, chief executive of Blekko. “Instead of demoting these sites to No. 5 or No. 7, we’re just throwing them out.”

Search engines have variety of ways to decide which sites are high-quality and which are low-quality. Google does it algorithmically whereas Blekko uses more involvement of peoples. Examples of the sites Blekko now bans: cheap-refrigerators.net, best-weddinggifts and Boston.diningguide.com.

Blekko is trying its best to debar those websites, which comprise keywords often used by the users so that the websites rank higher, in order to gain income when some user clicks on the ads present on the website.
