Additionally, and usefully for businesses, anybody at all can also see SEO data for a site by clicking the SEO link beneath each search results. Unfortunately, this too was less than perfect. When viewing the data for a site I run, Blekko claimed that the site is "co-hosted with" several other sites I'd never heard of. This is no doubt based on the fact they have in the past shared the site's IP address courtesy of virtual hosting by my ISP. However, it's plain misleading.

Blekko is interesting but the beta tag under its logo does actually mean something this time: Blekko really is a pre-release-quality search engine. However, it can only get better as time goes on. Some of its tools are actually pretty neat and are things Google can't easily emulate.

Built on the theory that two (or more) heads are better than one, Qyo attempts to bring collaborative search to the masses.

It's rumoured Google will , for example, that could feature social search.

Upon registering with Qyo, which you must do before you're allowed to search, you're invited to connect to your Facebook account to get friends and associates involved, too. In fact, without friends, Qyo is a fairly sparse experience.
