About

Metro5 Search is a search engine, taking social influence into account when ranking websites. Submit your website today and help us rank websites by influencing our search results. Each search result shows a link which reads "Rate this Site" below the actual result. When a Metro5 visitor clicks the link, he is able to rate the website. It is possible to flag a website as spam, content farm, useful, or not so useful website. To make things more transparent, we decided to use Twitter as ranking source.

Twitter comes in as a transparent solution to collect votes. If people vote for or against a website, they cast their vote under their own username, meaning others can see who voted for or against a website. Such a voting concept helps us fight abuse and also takes the influence of single users into account when we collect the votes once a month.
