Find.com and even the much newer mse360 are better. these two found my blog and give interesting results..

I entered "Dean Peters" and "church website design" (with quotes) and got NOTHING of relevance to me ... ... for "Dean Peters" ... alot of links about a now-dead professional wrestler, and some obscure rapper. ... for "church website design" ... mostly commercial CMS providers for churches. So if I wanted to look up tutorial information on how to maintain my church website, I'm out of luck. At least you got listed.

A search for my name comes up with nothing useful. I thought the algorithm and index might not be tuned towards people so I tried searching for "Saxophone wx50" (which is a wind midi instrument for those of you not familiar with it !) it can up with...... NOTHING !!! Google found 54 entries with a supposedly smaller index. Big index means nothing. I agree. A search for my name comes up with nothing useful.

The images appearing next to search results half the time are not from the site being listed - very strange. But, how did they get so much PR? They're in newspapers and all over blogs. Although if like me, you get wacky results, you'll head straight back to Google. I don’t get three columns, and it’s not even a grid – incredibly hard to scan.
