Rate Search Engine Relevancy
Rustybrick at SEO Roundtable has put together a “blind taste test search engine” that gives you results from a random search engine and asks you to rate them. The site, called “Rustysearch” presents you with the same plain white page no matter what search engine the results come from, so you have to judge the results on their relevancy. Rusty wants more data so they award the most relevant search engine, so go on over there and spend a few minutes having fun.
The initial results, available here are interesting. After 5,000 ratings, Yahoo has a slight edge, followed by Google, Ask, and MSN. Of course, the top search engine and the last-place one are seperated by .34 points, so maybe that says more than anything else.
Rusty, once you’ve completed your Search Engine Relevancy Challenge, why not redo the site as a sort of “Hot or Not” for search engines, where results show up, you click to rate them, and then it shows you what other people rated it? It won’t be as popular as pictures of coeds, but it could be a lot of fun.
