						<p>blekko is a search engine that slashes out web-spam, content farms, and malware. We do this by having a smaller crawl of 3 billion pages that focuses on quality websites. We also have a tool called a <a href="/?p=315">slashtag</a> that organizes websites around specific topics, and improves search results for those topics.</p>
<p>At blekko we believe in transparency. We created the web search bill of rights to explain our outlook.</p>

		<div class="comment-body"><p>I literally tripped over your search engine on the day MSN and Yahoo merged to create one useless search engine instead of two, I really like what you are doing and appreciate the clarity (less junk) of your search results and the SEO tool you have for domains {domain.com/ / seo}<br />
Impressed, thanks<br />

		<div class="comment-body"><p>This is what it used to feel like when searching for interesting tidbits. My searches for hobbies don&#8217;t return worthpoint, sportslinkup and other crap.  I am not inundated with Ad sites that are not relevant to my search.<br />
Thank You!<br />
 I have changed my browser home page to blekko.</p>
