No. Not unless you manage to come up with a very different type of search engine. What you're talking about goes back somewhat to the earlier Yahoo days - more a portal. More recently, Netscape tried a similar thing, but it also didn't work so well. About.com is still doing things something like this as well. I've been working with search technology for a while now, and while crappy search is easy, good search is hard. There will always be more people trying to game the system than you have people trying to stop them, so the battle to provide good results will never end.
