Receiving 100% of your search results from Google is a little like getting all your information from the popular kids at school. The top results might satisfy most needs, but there’s a whole lot of internet out there beyond that first page of links. Not that anyone wants to go beyond the first page or even the first result. Thanks to SEO, it can all start to look like the yellow page equivalent of AAA Web Content after a while anyway.
Luckily, a new search engine has come along that gives you a chance to dig deeper without having to bother with a second page. Meet Million Short, where you can exclude the top 100 – 1,000 – 10,000 – 100,000 – and yes, 1,000,000 web sites from your search results.
There are so many angles to explore. While leaving out the top million sites is interesting, knocking out the top 100 is… a revolution. All that effort to get there and now you’ve got a simple tool to completely ignore them. Take out the top 10,000 and it’s like driving through a city without seeing a single chain store.
Welcome back to the Great Unknown!
