How to find reviews using Google Custom search?
As you probably noticed by now, searching for reviews of specific product in Google doesn't often bring the best results, does it? It's because there are too many shops hoping to catch our attention, and they keep using the keyword review, customer review or comparison all over their sites.
What is the solution? Well, I have no definite one, but I am testing one right now. Using now improved Google Custom Search, I created:
Quick Review Search tool
I hope this searchbox will help you find the review you want, without having to go through too many ads and "false reviews".
I also welcome any comments on the search, especially regarding the trusted domains. Is there some domain I should include? Is there some domain I should exclude?
How it works?
Because here is the deal. The custom search will only search for your keywords on these pre-selected domains:
zdnet.com/*
cnet.com/*
dpreview.com/*
wikipedia.org/*
ehow.com/*
time.com/*
pcworld.com/*
photozone.de/*
youtube.com/*
nytimes.com/*
gizmondo.com/*
engadget.com/*
complete-review.com/*
notebookreview.com/*
bbc.co.uk/*
hardwareanalysis.com/*
and many others
These were chosen based on my experience with review searching. They are slightly biased towards Digital Photography and other gadgets, so there's definitely some room for improvement. Thank you for your comments under the box. I will gladly add some domains to include wider variety of review sources.
