I just wanted to let you all know that http://www.vmgo.com/ is doing incredibly nicely lately. The site is now a PR5 which means it’s gaining some recognition out there along with people are supporting it.
Alexa.com is at this moment ranking it at 65,353 these days so it finally made it into the top 100,000 most visited and has been there for around 2-3 months now. According to my own stats it is receiving around 10,000 page views a day which is pretty powerful traffic so I had to move the site to it’s own dedicated server with the best ever processor I could get and 4 gig of ram and 160 gig hard drive.
The hard drive was 80 gig before and the database took up the entire hard drive which is the most important reason I moved the site. I expect to have to get an even bigger hard drive in another year or so.
A large amount of the traffic it gets is from india in addition to saudi arabia but it does get 8.2% USA traffic which is up from the last update. I’m not sure why it got so trendy with foreign countries but they seem to like it? I see they search for alot of porn type stuff. HAHA! Who’d of thought?

I built it all myself about 4-5 years ago using bits and pieces of free scripts I found on the internet. It took me about 2 years of messing around with it to work out alot of bugs I had in the scripts and at this instant it is streamlined and running smoothly.
The concept I had for it came from years of studying google and other search engines and how they ranked pages. I started out as a webmaster and then became a engine optimization professional and all my websites were position top of the results. I made alot of cash because of it.
But I enjoy a worthy challenge so I determined to build my own search engine because at the time there were only a a small number of major search engines out there that had their own database.
So I began studying the search engines and writing down all the problems I had as a webmaster with the method they ranked pages and their sluggishness at indexing pages in their index. After that I came up with ways to sort out those problems in my own search engine.
The first glitch I always had was slow indexing and ranking of pages. So, I designed vmgo.com so you can submit a page for the keyword you choose and it would be indexed right away as soon as you hit the submit button. After that I made it so you can vote your page to the top of the results. Problem fixed. Instantaneous indexing and on the spot #1 ranking. How effortless is that right?
That fixed the complete link popularity crap, PR crap, sandbox, domain bans, etc…
Subsequently my next problem was how to fix the spam problem? So, I simply put a “report spam” link next to every listing that right away removes the link from the results until I check it out. I get an email that lets me know about it with a link to click that unbans the link if it’s not spam. If it is spam, I merely do nothing and that link remains in the database so we see that that url cannot be indexed ever again for that keyword. Easy right?
Spam reports are very precise! People are marvelous at spotting it and don’t mind reporting it. They loathe it! HAHA!
The last problem I seen with google and others was, when you search for something you may perhaps have to go through a couple pages of results before you locate what you are looking for which is somewhat bothersome.
Therefore, my fix was, when you find what you are looking for and click the link, it votes for that page in the results and it moves up in the rankings so the next time you seek for it, it will be higher and you won’t have to go 2-3 pages deep. There are also voting thumbs up and down to vote or demote the links. It’s a very simple technique of sorting the high-quality from the bad results.
I noticed google doing something related to this recently allowing people to vote with their new “search wiki” which is cool except it doesn’t help everybody. It only helps you. Where vmgo’s results change for everybody, helping everybody.
Alot of people have told me that sooner or later people will game the system which is possible but I truly want them to game the system so they can be reported as spam and taken out of the results. Once they are reported as spam, they are banned from submitting that page to that keyword ever again. Problem solved.
I recognize that it is a never ending ongoing work in progress but it’s entertaining and keeps my brains occupied for a little while every day.
