Trivial Pursuit Is Possible, Monopoly Is Not
It must be admitted that some specific branch of knowledge still a gray area to the search engines of the Internet no matter how intelligent it has now become. This inspired the gallant Answers. Com and Ask. Com to take part in the quest to provide the knowledgeable replies to vexing but straightforward inquiries about history, science, geography, pop culture and sports. If you like this article on search engine optimization visit online marketing australia for more education.
Both search engines pointed to provide a correct answer explicitly at the top of a search’s first results page or with a highly placed link to a Web page that contains the information. Their mission raises a question, though. In reality, how much do these search engines know? Finding my own answers, I organized my own practical exam inspired by Trivial Pursuit’s latest set of questions. My borrowed game, Trivial Pursuit, exposed the real score about Answer. Com and Ask. Com’s advantage over the three most popular search engines, Google, yahoo and MSN.
The findings are answers dot com and ask dot com appear to be a small step ahead of Google and noticeably smarter than yahoo and MSN when dealing with such esoteric questions like what glass beads are created when a meteorite strikes the earth’s surface? I was led to the right answer, tektites, both by Answers. Com and Ask. Com right at the first link, which is the dependability they have brought off in 10 of the 20 questions in my game of imitation.
Although they performed similarly in our game, answers dot com and ask dot com rely on different formulas. The main characters of the latter are Google’s search engine and human editors who have fed its database with answers to the most frequently asked questions which they in turn discovered by keeping their watchful eyes on reference materials. Ask. Com, an arm of a Web agency that has been blended into an electronic business amassment for 2 billion dollars, has configured a fully self controlled ingenuity to attain data throughout the Internet. More information on the topic of search engine optimization is located at online marketing company.
Answers. Com and Ask. Com did exhibit superiority over the search engines for this particular area, but they will be giving a better service if they will be giving a rundown of the correct response right at the top of the result page so as not to require clicking on a link just to use another Website. Ask. Com did display an abridged and correct answer in just two of the 20 questions, while the only time Answers. Com did a quick one was when I sought for Google’s definition.
The Internet’s far famed questions were concluded with the successfully looked up answers right at the first link in eight questions, including the tektite question. There was one question that every search engine participating in my game that came out unanswered. What is the name of the first Cuban delinquent to play in major league baseball? The correct answer is Rene who played and pitched for the Cardinals in the early 1990s, and none of the parties led me to any link.
Although MSN was coming short compared to the other search engines, it had the chance to regain composure when it somehow aced one of the questions. What company was bought out with the biggest deal from past to present? There on the first link on the list says Nabisco Subsidiary. Leaving the task solely to the search engine also poses a disadvantage, as was seen in this test, because of the likelihood of linking to sites giving out answers negating each other.
This transpired with the highest frequency when the question on the number of viewers who watched the series ender of the TV show Mash was asked. A difference of almost 20 million was observed from the answers of the different sites that each search engine gave, when comparing the lowest to the highest answer that came out. Changing a few words in a popular movie soundtrack, I would like to say searching for online data remains to be troublesome.
