Wanna see the best ranked pages on Google? Do a search for "www" (no quotes).

Altavista ranks better than Google.

Interesting. But I wonder how many URLs drop their 'www' (http://google.com instead of http://www.google.com).

Makes no difference, Alex. A search for http:/ turns up the same first page.

It's more like "the best-rated pages linked to by people who don't know how to write good link text". A similar effect can be observed by searching for "readstep2".

my favorite one is, "click here".

it's also how i proved to my boss that link text matters in search engines (google at least)

I always loved that "internet" turned up Microsoft.com

The Alexa list shows several spyware sites among the top 20 English-language sites:

Alexa is a pretty neat service, but really isn't a fair demographic of net users -- only those users who have intentionally installed the Alexa toolbar software in IE are ranked, and obviously that that means a very small cross section of internet users.
Anonymizer
> > Certainly not the most popular ones.

Good point about slashdot.

http is also a useful meta-search as many people say

That Alexa has spyware sites among *their* users top 20 shouldn't be too big a surprise, given that only the people susceptible to the spyware phenomenon will have installed the Alexa toolbar.

My favorite is PHP as the first result for ".net"
