Re: Search Engine for Security and eSecurity Community

Thanks for the feedback. I realize that filtering sites will require a
lot of work, but I think in the end it will be beneficial for all.

Here are my current guidelines for site inclusion

1) I will NOT include any vendor site (e.g. Cisco, Microsoft, Bluecoat etc)
2) I will check the Netcraft ranking for each suggested URL that I receive.
The site has to rank in <50K to be included in the index. (e.g.
http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://www.securityfocus.com)
3) I will also make sure that the site doesn't excessive amount of Ads. For
e.g. I will not include  http://www.securitynewsportal.com/index.shtml
