I LOVE the idea of a search engine that lowers the rank of results with ads. This might be the key to success in finding projects of love rather than commercial click holes.

Oh. That’s also an idea, but maybe we’d still get tons of ad-less blogs that are just link farms to other sites.

Still, I guess that’s only viable because Google rewards lots of links. If you just disable link relevance that part of gaming the system will be gone too.
