Ahh, nonsense! :) The algo at work at ATW is just fine, no problems whatsoever. There are web areas which are just full of low quality sites, and consequently all engines return low quality sites.

ATW has a great algo. I use that engine for two reasons:
- the advanced features and customizability of searching are lightyears ahead of Google
- the results I get are overall on par with Google. They do better serps on some queries, on other Google fares better.

I go there to FIND stuff.

But, of course I can't pass on this opportunity to get to my only real gripe with ATW: do more FULL updates, index more pages! Having the second largest index is not enough!

Least I forget: I fail to see a significant change in the algo. Serps look a little different here and there, but nothing earthshaking from my perspective. Will watch closely though.
