I just wanted to let you all know that http://www.vmgo.com/ is doing especially well lately. The site is at the present a PR5 which means it’s gaining some popularity out there and people are supporting it.

Alexa.com is at the present ranking it at 65,353 nowadays so it finally made it into the top 100,000 most visited and has been there for roughly 2-3 months now. According to my own stats it is receiving around 10,000 page views a day which is pretty strong traffic so I had to move the site to it’s own dedicated server with the fastest central processing unit I could get and 4 gig of ram and 160 gig hard drive.

The hard drive was 80 gig before and the database took up the whole hard drive which is the main reason I moved the site. I expect to have to get an even bigger hard drive in one more year or so.

A large amount of the traffic it gets is from india in addition to saudi arabia but it does acquire 8.2% USA traffic which is up from the last update. I’m not positive why it got so all the rage with foreign countries but they seem to like it? I see they search for alot of porn type things. HAHA! Who’d of thought?

I built it all myself about 4-5 years ago using bits and pieces of free scripts I found on the internet. It took me about 2 years of messing around with it to work out alot of bugs I had in the scripts and at this time it is streamlined and running smoothly.

The concept I had for it came from years of studying google and other search engines and how they ranked pages. I started out as a webmaster and then became a engine optimization professional and all my websites were ranking top of the results. I made alot of cash because of it.

But I like a respectable challenge so I determined to make my own search engine because at the time there were only a few major search engines out there that had their own database.

So I began studying the search engines and writing down all the troubles I had as a webmaster with the manner they ranked pages and their sluggishness at indexing pages in their index. Afterward I came up with ways to sort out those problems in my own search engine.

The first glitch I always had was slow indexing and position of pages. So, I designed vmgo.com so you can submit a page for the keyword you indicate and it would be indexed right away as soon as you hit the submit button. After that I made it so you can vote your page to the top of the results. Problem fixed. Immediate indexing and immediate #1 ranking. How simple is that right?

That fixed the whole link popularity crap, PR crap, sandbox, domain bans, etc…

Subsequently my next problem was how to fix the spam dilemma? So, I just put a “report spam” link next to each listing that immediately removes the link from the results until I check it out. I get an email that lets me know about it with a link to click that unbans the link if it’s not spam. If it is spam, I simply do nothing and that link remains in the database so we know that that url cannot be indexed ever again for that keyword. Effortless right?

Spam reports are very exact! People are remarkable at spotting it and don’t mind reporting it. They can’t stand it! HAHA!

The last problem I seen with google and others was, when you seek for something you may perhaps have to go through a couple pages of results before you achieve what you are looking for which is mildly bothersome.

Therefore, my fix was, when you come across what you are looking for and click the link, it votes for that page in the results and it moves up in the rankings so the next time you search for it, it will be higher and you won’t have to go 2-3 pages deep. There are also voting thumbs up and down to vote or demote the links. It’s a very effortless system of sorting the useful from the bad results.

I noticed google doing something related to this recently allowing people to vote by means of their new “search wiki” which is cool but it doesn’t help out everybody. It only helps you. Where vmgo’s results change for one and all, helping everybody.

Alot of people have told me that ultimately people will game the system which is doable but I really want them to game the system so they can be reported as spam and taken out of the results. Once they are reported as spam, they are banned from submitting that page to that keyword ever for a second time. Problem solved.

I see that it is a never ending ongoing work in progress but it’s amusing and keeps my brains busy for a little while every day.
