Best torrent search engines

Previously, we wrote about a site called ScrapeTorrent that lets you search multiple torrent sites at once. That’s an easy way to find music and movie torrents, but it’s also worthwhile to know the big players in the torrent search arena. Below are the five best torrent search engines that I know of!
1. Mininova.org is one of the classic resources of uploaded torrent seeds. It remained among other competing websites because it has a simple yet effective interface. At its homepage is a categorized list of torrents being downloaded on that day.

Bing is Microsoft’s premier search engine as a replacement for Live Search. We have introduced Microsoft Bing earlier, but this time we will look at how web content providers and SEOs could get statistical information from Bing.
Bing’s xRank, http://www.bing.com/xrank, lets users search for celebrities, musicians, politicians and bloggers, read short biographies and news about them, and track their trends or popularity rankings. With this you can gauge which people are most popular – a great tool for finding celebrity movers and shakers on the Net.
Magazine style browsing using Google Fast Flip

Google Fast Flip is a web application in development from Google Labs. It lets users discover and share news articles. It combines qualities of print and the Web, with the ability to “flip” through pages online as quickly as flipping through a magazine. It also enables users to follow friends and topics, discover new content and create their own custom magazines around searches.
To try this web application visit http://fastflip.googlelabs.com/. The page displays thumbnail like representation of the most popular news and magazine sites. With this view, you can see the pages at once alongside other pages.

I often go to torrent search engines like mininova.org or isohunt.com to look for torrent files that I want to download. Sometimes the torrent files on one site are not available, but are on another site and I’ve found it necessary to visit multiple torrent sites – Google and Bing are just not that good when it comes to indexing torrents.
Lately, I discovered a great site that searches multiple torrent search engines so users can search on only one page. Before going further, also read my previous posts on how to make your own torrent and how to use uTorrent, my favorite torrent downloader.

Do you follow a website too closely enough that you want to be alerted when new posts come up or something changes? For people who monitor a lot of hosts with website activity, a tool for doing this is a necessity.

ChangeDetection.com offers a free service where you can submit a URL that you want to be monitored. Just go to their website, signup for free, then begin submitting URLs. It has a simple interface for entering URLs and monitoring changes:

If you’ve ever created a website before, you know how important it is to get opinions from as many people as possible on colors, layout, navigation, content, and everything else.
Even though it’s really easy to create a website, it’s really hard to make a great website. Anybody can download a template and have a flashy looking website in minutes, but then it’s not unique.
If you’re creating a new website for your business or you routinely create websites as part of your daily job, you might want to check out a cool web service that lets you get feedback on website design, content and code quickly and easily.
