Analytical company Netcraft recently published data according to which by January 2011 on the Internet worked 273 301 445 sites. It’s just a huge array of information that contains almost all the knowledge of humanity and can answer any question. But the paradox is that finding the right information in this chaos is like finding a needle in a haystack. And if Google is trying to solve this issue by carefully sorting and describing each straw, then SimilarWeb service comes up to this task somewhat from the other side.
SimilarWeb Is a mechanism for searching similar content, showing several sites that are similar to the site that the user is currently viewing. This technology combines both its own algorithm and user estimates to produce better results for each user.
It is better to start the service with SimilarSites.com. Here you will see a form for searching websites. However, you do not need to enter the search query word, but the address of the site you already know, which analogies you want to find. But it’s much more convenient to use the service features with the help of special browser extensions that are available for Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
After installing the extension in Google Chrome, a new button appears on the toolbar, when clicked, a pop-up window for the extension appears. There are three tabs for displaying various information.
Similar Sites – shows a list of the most similar sites on the site you are currently viewing. Top Sites – the most popular sites of this subject, and the tab Buzz displays the latest mentions of the site in social networks. The extension for Firefox has similar functionality, only the information there is displayed in a special panel on the left or right.
SimilarWeb This is an excellent solution that will help you to find the information you need more easily on the web faster and more efficiently. Of course, this does not replace the usual search engines, but with this convenient extension, you can sometimes make such interesting finds that you will never find in the results of ordinary search.
