Another suggestion: on the result page make the main link for each result go to the "moreofit" page of the given link, rather than the actual external websites.

Another suggestion: on the result page make the main link for each result go to the "moreofit" page of the given link, rather than the actual external websites. (just like you do for the top pages). You want to keep people on your site :) and it's probably better for pagerank also.
Have instead a small arrow icon for the actual external links (that would be useful for the top pages also, there is no external link there at the moment).
- photon_off 16y agoInteresting suggestion. There are little "moreofit" links on each result (as well as for the domain of the link)... I guess they are not prominent enough? I'd like to keep the results rather straightforward. What I will do is link them all to a redirect script so I can log which results are most popular and possible create a smarter results algorithm. How does including external links affect pagerank?
- lkozma 16y agoWell, the more internal links and the less external links you have, the better for pagerank. PR just formalizes the random surfer model: what is the probability that someone who just randomly clicks links is on your page after n clicks.
