New Web Search Engine From Australia Coming Next Week

Search Engine Watch notes articles announcing the launch of a newcomer to search in Australia. Search Engine Australia - Australia's independent search engine... MySearch.com.au

SEW lists the main features of MySearch.com.au in terms of ranking and crawl as follows:

:: Quality of data: focus on a relatively small list of the most popular websites in the world rather than those with the most number of websites linking to them
:: Ranking: based on usage rather than link farm size.
:: Focus on a site versus pages: IE's Geocities will feature in its database only once, rather than the extensive network of millions of free pages / Web sites that are found within Google. This will result in a natural tendency to feature more business/commerce sites.
:: Top sites index: a listing of top Web sites updated and ranked regularly.
:: Small data footprint: allows for a daily update of the top-ranked Web sites, as opposed to updates every six weeks."

They will also operate cpc and enteprise search services. Plus three other revenue streams that will be revealed in Quarter Four, 2005. Louise Williams, marketing manager, Ansearch is quoted as saying:"To the best of our knowledge, no other search engine -- global or Australian -- is addressing these other areas."
