Slash Through Spam With Blekko’s Zorro Update
- iamelgringo 15y agoI've been using Blekko as my main search engine for 6 weeks, and I'm really happy. Greg Lindahl, the CTO spoke on SEO for Hackers & Founders Co-op, and he was amazing. I love what Blekko's doing, and I have no doubt they're going to do quite well.
- jsrfded 15y agoThe big deal for us with this update is automatically applying slashtags to boost quality in 110 categories. You can see the full list of categories we're doing this for in a screenshot in the Search Engine Land post: http://searchengineland.com/blekko-slashes-more-spam-with-zorro-update-82620 http://searchengineland.com/blekko-slashes-more-spam-with-zo...
- ChuckMcM 15y agoI'm biased of course, but I like the /monte game, its a good way of seeing the value proposition. As for why that might be HN worthy, the problem a search engine has is to somehow show that its value proposition works. On blekko if you append /monte to your query you will see the same query done on Blekko, Google, and Bing. You don't know which is which but you get to pick the results you like best.
- guimarin 15y agoI like this feature because no one has any editorial control on what I can search for while using /monte. Obviously, there are instances where blekko is worse, but by in large it's pretty obvious which is blekko and which is google/bing.
