Google launches blog search

Worst search ever!: Fails even a ten second QA check:

Search for Chicken Recipes

http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&q=chicken+recipes&btnG=Search+Blogs

Shows almost all pages from
http://www.recipesrecipe.com/

Which looks like an auto scraper from Yahoo groups, e.g. this receipe:

http://recipesrecipe.com/2005/09/world-famous-recipes-recipe-barbecue.html

Seems to be scraped from here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/world-famous-recipes/message/4444

Interesting his Google adsense alt-advert seems to link the sites together:

http://home.att.net/~seo/adsense768x90.html

I've never seen that done before.; Posted by: Nigel Johnstone Posted on: 09/14/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
