Search Engines
 | Google -- An excellent search system.
What's their secret? They use Linux-based web robots to explore and index the entire Web. But then they determine the QUALITY of
each resulting link based upon the QUALITY of the OTHER sites that link INTO that site. So, THE ONLY WAY a site can be highly
rated, under Google, is if other highly rated sites have links pointing into it! It's brilliant. (2 websites

http://www.NothernLight.Com recommended by Langa Fred.)
