Is Google beginning to fail as Search Engine
Hi all
It seems to me that Google is beginning to slip as a decent Search Engine -- not so much because of Google itself but because of the way sites are cheating into getting themselves listed.
What seems to be happenning more and more is that you enter a query for XXXXXX
Then a page comes up with XXXX entered into a SEARCH BOX on another web site which seems to have info on all sorts of stuff (Usually Update your Drivers or something like that) and nothing about the feature or product you wanted.
I hope that google updates its algorithms soon to stop web sites "cheating" -- otherwise I think we might begin to see much more emergence of RELIABLE private paid for by private subscription search engines.
Google is still on the whole OK but I hope that it remains a decent FREE source of info rather than becoming almost impossible to use because of the sheer amount of useless data you have to get rid of --even when you phrase your query OK.
Cheers
