Wanna know what really pisses me off here lately?

When searching for an item I'm researching, I find a bunch of buy.com, ebay, dealtime.com hits.

WTF? Is the WWW turning into a huge *** Wal-Mart?

I want information about the product. When I am ready to buy the item, I will then go to ebay, buy.com, dealtime, etc.



OK...I'm done.

 

I know what you mean jamz. I get sick and tired of searching for things and being inundated with stuff that I don't really need. For instance... Who needs a link for the best deals on Jergin's lotion, when all I want to do is find some good ole asian/catholic school uniform ****?

 

I htin I just thought of a new slogan for Jergins,
Jergins
"The Jerkin' Lotion"

The marketing campaign:
Prevent Chaffing, use Jergins, The Jerkin' Lotion!

Jergins, the Jerkin Lotion.
"Safer than cheating"

 

Jamzwayne, it's Algore's fault since he created the internet. Vent in his general direction.

 

Most of the search engines return the most hit sites first, so places where you would buy the product naturally would have more hits than the manufacturer. That is unfortunate, but the way that companies like Google work.

 

I agree, I hate when I'm searching google and all that comes up is ebay crap.

Not to mention you can barely sell anything on ebay anymore because there's too many big companies selling crap out there that your item just gets lost in the confusion somewhere.

 

The reason you get all the hits is that the company's pay the search engine to put them at the top of the list. I think google said one time it's like a few cents per hit. That's how the search engine makes most of it's money.

 

You can tailor your search string to ignore certain sites. Goto your favorite engine and search for help on advanced searching.

For instance: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en

Look at all the fun stuff you can do, btw when you get good you can do it in the search string.

 

Yea I cut mine down by adding something like "Info" or Specs" or "Review"

I still get some of the E sales, but not as many.
