Can you give a little insight about the algorithm ( good question - isnt it ) ?
I have a website that is no1 in Google in my niche word and has been for years - its an old html site and has an nicheword.com domain name
but your engine gives the first search result for "nicheword" - my Facebook and Flickr accounts, then other companies websites, instead of my actual website which is no1 on Google,
and my actual website is like in 10th place in your results which is pretty bad compared to Google,
looking at the DDG search results , it seems like:
1) you put more emphasis on social networds than Google ,
2) and you seem to put less emphasis on the domain address ( nicheword.com ) than Google does ,
I wonder is that logic reasonable - in terms of relevancy of the results,
3) you seem to like wordpress and other well known platforms and dislike good old .html websites ..
- epi0Bauqu 15y agoI don't have an easy straightforward answer for you. We focus on a few things wrt to algo: 1) figuring out the best sources to deliver for instant answers/0-click info; 2) removing useless sites; 3) trying to detect "context" a bit from the query and make results match it as best we can, which also fits into 1).
