It's also worth noting that anchor text analysis is not even Google's algorithm - Teoma was the first to look at it and Google adopted a similar filter within a few months - which suggests that it's not a problem of relevancy that just Google is...
For Teoma: A different twist on link analysis, but more important, a new search voice worth taking seriously -- and Ask Jeeves did, buying it later that year. Meanwhile, Ask fails to capitalize on the new technology and buys Teoma the following...
Ask Jeeves image search is doing all this, but it's also applying its Teoma ranking system to find sites that have a broad representation of images and topics, and identify those that have the greatest degree of "authority" for a particular topic...
While Clever never made a public appearance, many of the concepts it offers are what power the Teoma/Ask Jeeves search technology. It features an article by Karen Schneider, the director of the Librarians' Internet Index, the wonderful and...
Whether Bloglines expands to include Teoma-like search capabilities, or Ask pulls in Bloglines' RSS prowess remains to be seen. Gigablast's blog search is in beta, but the quality of its results is on par with, if not better than, the results you...
Ask Jeeves significantly beefed up its algorithmic natural language capabilities with its purchase of Teoma in 2001, and since then has been quite good at handling natural language queries. This can lead to problems for searchers who do not...
Like other AJ web search services, relevancy is determined using their Teoma technology. Because often, higher rankings in search engines go to websites with higher quality content that earn more links.
For example, run a search on Google and by simply clicking the bookmarklet check the results for the same query at Teoma. I played around with Bloomba long enough to be impressed with the speed and quality of the search results it provided on more...

So far, there's no add URL page that's been added, so as with Ask Jeeves/Teoma, you have to rely on being crawled naturally. The service also, somewhat sadly, seems to have abandoned last year its method of producing quality human edited results...
A longer version of this article with specific tips from Google and Teoma, as well as strategies from some of the world's most accomplished link building experts, is available to Search Engine Watch members.
Second, instead of ranking results based upon the sites with the most links leading to them, Teoma analyzes the Web as it is organically organized -- in naturally-occurring communities about or related to the same subject -- to determine which...

Jump To: Google - Yahoo - AltaVista MSN - Ask Jeeves/Teoma Also note that in this example, Teoma made use of both the title and the description from the Open Directory, rather than the description alone.

Confirmed speakers will be there from About.com, AOL, Ask Jeeves/Teoma, Google, Inktomi, LookSmart/WiseNut, Overture and Yahoo, as well as a variety of specialized services such as Shopping.com and Singingfish.
