Metasearch
Dogpile is a metasearch site. That is, it searches multiple engines, filters
for duplicates and then presents the results to the user. Dogpile uses
multiple popular search engines, including Google, Yahoo! Search, MSN,
Ask.com, About, MIVA, LookSmart as well as sponsored links.
Paid listing problem
Dogpile is singled out in a number of publications for mixing a high
percentage of paid listings in with the search results returned by the
various search engines [1].
A "sponsored by" note under a link, notifies users that that particular
search result has been paid for.
