    internet is useless

    OK IMHO . the internet search engines have UnOfficially become useless for all practical Purposses thanks to Domain Hoggers and keyword listings . all three major search engines ( google / yahoo/ MSN ) seem to present the useless garbage of Domain Squatters on the first several pages more often then not .
    any suggestions ?

    Are you by any chance referring to the Domain Registration type info?

    Have you consider ignoring it?

    well , if you try that search on all three engines and tell me if its not becoming entirely useless these days. If you can fine tune the search so that it gives actual results that would be great . .
    if its not these useless sites what comes up in results is sites which are selling stuff not really helpfull if ure searching for information not products. google used to be a search engine for actually searching for information seems like its not anymore.
    the search engines exclude webrings( my pet peeve ) from their results but not these sites ?

    But it is aggravating when you are a web master fighting to keep ahead of junk.

    I always find what I'm looking for and can't say that I've run across useless sites.

    I don't need google for that... I just click on this gold star on my browser with the word "Favorites" next to it.
