Okay, so I'm slow getting caught up on this list.
ht::/Dig is practically useless!
Having done an extensive search on college websites tracking down
essential details on the schools and their programs, I have run
across a number that use ht::/Dig. In every single case, ht::/Dig
returned the most irrelevant and the most non-applicable pages. This
is a NO-NO if you don't want your customers to give up in frustration
and go elsewhere for what they need.
Spidering alone does not usually give a high instance of relevant
returns. I chose to go with a custom search program using a mysql
database, manually entered. This is a labor-intensive approach, in
order to achieve the highest rate of relevant returns, but not always
the most practical approach. However, I can see that by running
spidered returns through a database, the level of relevancy is
potentially much higher than a marginal solution like ht::/Dig is
likely to offer.
