Discover Pages Similar to the Current One with “Similar Pages”
Feb 11th
We’ve seen quite a few ways to search the web by similarity including similarity-based image search , Ambiently bookmarklet (that searches for “related” pages) and TouchGraph Google Browser (that works based on Google’s RELATED: advanced operator).
This week we are looking into an alternative app: Similar Pages
The tool uses its own crawler to collect pages around the web and create The Map of Internet Similarity. The map is claimed to contain more than 3.2 billion pages.
It covers all domain extensions and types of webpages, regardless of their popularity. The degree of similarity between webpages is computed regularly, and the map is updated continuously with newly published sites.
That means that the tool goes “beyond the surface” – unlike regular search engines (e.g. Google that only allow people to see “popular” pages and leave the most part of the web “in the dark”):
Only a very small % of users are browsing results after page 1 or page 2 of the search results pages. The result of this search behavior is that we mostly navigate across a small set of sites with high popularity: most of the web exists in the dark. Millions of interesting sites remain hidden at pages 2, 10, 50 or 100 of the results of a web search, because of their low popularity.
Similarity is determined with help of PageAffinity which analyzes both the content of pages as well as the linking structure of the web to determine the level of similarity between webpages.
In order to make this a reality, we developed PageAffinity a set of algorithms to identify and calculate the degree of similarity between webpages, bringing to light the ‘long tail’ of the web.
The FireFox Addon
With Similar Pages FireFox addon you can quickly discover similar pages as well as enhance your search efficiency:
1. As a discovery tool, it suggests up to 300 sites “similar in typology and topic” to the current page. When you land on any page and want to see which pages it is similar to, click the toolbar icon and get the list generated in the sidebar:
The same functionality is available via the right-click context menu:
2. As a search tool, it loads similar pages right in the Google search results page when you click its icon:
From what you can see from the screenshots, the tool really does a good job finding “similar” pages but it gives preference to home pages rather than internal pages.
What are your thoughts?

New Awesome Ways to Search within Current Site (Using Google)
Aug 27th
I am sure you are familiar with (and using regularly) Google’s most useful search operator SITE: – that restricts search results to the domain you specify. I for one have covered multiple tips on:
- How to diagnose your site using Google’s operators (SITE: being the main one);
- How to tell a penalty from non-penalty (also using SITE: operator);
- etc
Obviously, the SITE: operator also turns really useful if you want to quickly find anything within the current domain (but you don’t want to figure how to find the site’s built-in search option). Google’s SITE: search operator makes you smarter, more productive and better equipped for search.
I have listed 3 tools that make Google’s SITE: operator easier to access including: Advanced Dork (not available in FireFox 3.6.8), Search Site (still valid and can be used) and Google site search (runs on Greasemonkey).
Today’s post shares 2 new tools that allow to search within the current domain with one click of a mouse:
1. CyberSearch: Search From URL / Address bar
CyberSearch is a multi-option search addon for FireFox that among other features allows to search within current site.
To do that just type:
>your search term
Right in the address (location) bar. It first suggests you the results from the current domain on the fly (which make it possible to search without SERPs).
After you click {Enter} – it takes you to Google’s search results restricted to the current domain and with >your search term as the search query.
For example, if you want to search for [firefox addons] when browsing SEJ, just type >firefox addon and you are done:
(1)
(2)
2. Milly’s Bookmarklet: Search for the Highlighted Term
The page as a variety of search bookmarklets taking advantage of Google’s search services and operators – one of them is based on SITE: search:
Google Site Search (just drag this link into your browser’s bookmark toolbar)
Compatible with: FireFox (latest version), Netscape, Internet Explorer (4 and above) and Opera
To use it, just highlight any term on a page and click the bookmarklet – you will be instantly taken to Google’s search restricted to the current domain with the term you highlighted:
