A Google search for "Segala" brings up several pages which have been certified (not surprisingly) and it's easy to see how being able to restrict search results to sites which have been through the certification process would be useful. I believe the same process can be applied to Google Adwords results which will be very helpful. My staff do a lot of desk research and being able to remove the noise and 'adult' sites will cut down the time spent wading through irrelevant spam sites. Good job guys and good luck Peter Bennett http://www.london-translations.co.uk I downloaded and installed the software without problems, it ran perfectly.

So I am always willing to try different options, so tried this latest Segala offering. The install was a breeze, and having more control to sites returned in search engines, is the only pactical method of getting more relevant search results. Early days, but it is only a matter of time before efforts such as this become a standard practice. Any site serious about its audience will apply for this kind of certification, and long may it continue in this way. Exercising control on web search results, rather than futile attempts to control the web, means the essential freedom of the web is not compromised.
