We do actually. We penalize the sites with a lots of ads/trackers on them in our results and boost non-monetized pages. It is one of the main reasons Kagi reults have a specific 'flavor' to them. (Kagi CEO here)
- sph 2y agoYou surely have huge exceptions to this rule, or major silos like Reddit, Twitter, StackOverflow, Youtube, Facebook etc. would rank towards the bottom. Which the average Joe wouldn't like, hence my comment that no commercial search engine would implement this feature correctly, on purpose.
- freediver 2y agoNot really exceptions (all treated equally) just there is nuance in the algorithm. Having some ads doesn't mean you go straight to the bottom. And when searching for youtube you clearly want youtube.com - so nuance applied but that is the principle driving it.
