How does GoodTree search rank and combine sponsored and non-sponsored Web search results?
The search results you experience on GoodTree blend the top-ranking sponsored and non-sponsored results from each of the search engines based on the specific search term you type. The concentration of sponsored and non-sponsored results you receive is determined by click activity on the results pages for that search term. For example, if the term “cats” receives a higher number of clicks on non-sponsored listings today, tomorrow’s results page for “cats” would be more heavily concentrated toward non-sponsored results. This gives GoodTree users significant input into the results they receive. As a result, the precise ratio of sponsored to non-sponsored results for a given search term is variable, but sponsored results are always clearly identified with a “Sponsored by” label. Some search engines that GoodTree receives results from may allow companies to pay to have their site and related information included in their search index. This is practice is known as paid inclusion. Please note
