RustyBrick Announces Search Engine Relevancy Challenge to Identify the Best Search Engine for Relevance
Search Engine Optimization Companies, Search Engine Marketing Specialists and Webmasters Invited to Rate Google, Yahoo Search, MSN Search and Ask Jeeves
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) May 4, 2005 -- To identify the best search engine for
relevance, RustyBrick today announced the Search Engine Relevancy Challenge at the Search Engine
Strategies 2005 Conference & Expo. Search engine optimization companies,
search engine marketing specialists and webmasters are invited use RustySearch, a white-labeled search engine, to rate the top
search engines.
Barry Schwartz, the Editor of Search Engine Roundtable
and President of RustyBrick, Inc., said, “On April 13, we wrote a blog entry at
the Search Engine Roundtable about The Search
Engine Relevancy Challenge. In that entry, we proposed the idea of giving
searchers, consisting of SEOs, SEMs, Webmasters and those interested in search
theory, the ability to rate the relevancy of one of the big four search
engines.”
Since then, RustyBrick has built RustySearch,
which pulls results randomly from Google, Yahoo Search, MSN Search, and Ask
Jeeves, in order to let searchers test the results and judge on a subjective
level, what the relevancy of the results are on a one to five scale.
Said
Schwartz, “We understand that there are other factors outside of what we can
test that count for relevancy, but we cannot possible test each one. We are
using the provided API’s and RSS feeds to pull the results from the search
engines.”
How to Use RustySearch?
To use RustySearch, go to http://www.rustybrick.com/rustysearch.php, enter a search
phrase and click search. Then, click on the title, the URL or the “rate this
result” link. The site will open up in a framed window, so do not open the
result in a new window.
At the top, there is a frame that says, “Rate the
relevancy of this Web page for ‘search phrase here’”. Rate the result from one
to five, one meaning a very poor relevancy and five meaning an excellent
relevancy.
After you click a radio option, it should read, “Thanks for
your input! Your vote (and many others) will decide who, really, is the search
engine king!”
Then click on the button to take you back to the results.
Continue by rating the next result on that page, or search on a different
result.
