penalizing sites with adsense and others. (like w3schools) may give DDG some advantage with technical audience.
- cpncrunch 13y agoI'm not sure what your point is. I'm not aware that DDG penalizes adsense. If you search for html xxx tag, you'll see that htmlquick.com generally comes first in the results, and it's full of adsense ads. To be honest w3schools is much better than htmlquick, which is why google has it at the top of the search results. For some reason w3schools isn't even in the first page of results of DDG, instead they have a whole bunch of crappy sites. Even MDN isn't there. This is the first time I've used DDG in a few years, and it makes me want to stay with google. What exactly is their algorithm? Whatever it is, I think they might need to tweak it a bit.
- mal-2 13y agoHuh? MDN is always at the top for me on any relevant technical search. It's one of the things I like about DDG over Google (which typically puts the inferior W3Schools on top).
