People, without a moment’s hesitation, type the URL of any major internet search engine if they wish to find any information about anything. However, with changing times the search criteria and preferences of users have undergone a sea change. The concern for information has shifted from ease of accessing it to relevancy of information. blekko is a new age search engine that delivers quality results from the most reputable sites.

Earlier, it was all about the convenience of accessing information. You wanted to find out more about something, you opened a search engine and typed your query in the search box. The search engine returned results and you clicked on the links of these websites to seek the desired information.

With passage of time and arrival of quite a few new age search engines, users’ preferences begin to change. Gathering data and information was no longer the priority as the web started teeming with answers to almost everything under the sun. The inclination of net users shifted more towards the information that was relevant and did not demand too much time of the users.

People were also fed up with spam and spamdexing. One refers to unsolicited advertisements; the other to indulgence in unscrupulous practices by webmasters to gain a higher ranking in search engine result pages. Blekko, the consumer facing web search engine, immediately caught the fancy of net users as it promised to comprehensively eliminate both the menace of spam and spamdexing.
                                                           
Spam refers to the practice of sending unsolicited bulk messages to people, who given a choice would not like to receive it. Spammers use electronic messaging system to bombard consumers with many copies of the same message. The purpose is to coerce them to try out dubious products or indulge in sham money making schemes.

Despite the best efforts of law enforcement agencies and Internet service providers, the scourge of spam continues to grow by the day. There is a very good reason behind it; spam costs very little to send since the entire cost is borne by the recipients and the carriers.

Spammers usually work on the basis of trial and error method. They send hundreds of thousands of messages hoping that at least a few will elicit responses.

The most common types of spams are:

• Phishing scams
• Ads for sham weight reducing or breast enhancing pills
• ‘Get rich Quick’ or ‘Make money fast scheme’
• Nigerian scams, and others.

Today spam is biggest one of the biggest problems on the net. Even pornography is not such a big concern since porn is accessed by choice, and unlike spam, is not forced on the users.

Spammers are always thinking one step ahead of the computer experts. This explains the fact that despite best efforts, many net users have resigned themselves to the bitter truth that as long as there is net, there will be spam.
