SimilarSites is a web service which can be used to find similar sites of the current site under consideration. It is a very useful  service as it makes the spectrum of resources wider. When you are searching for a particular thing, most of the time you won’t get it right at the first try. Or you will be getting only partial information. You will have to search for related sites for finding out more information on the matter. What you will do is a Google search with some specific keyword. But you will end up with getting a long list of sites, most of them won’t be useful for you.

In similar situations what we exactly want is similar sites to the one we are using which will contain almost the same information. This will come very handy in situations where you seek some technical help, you do online shopping etc.

To use the service is really simple. Just type the URL of the site for which you seek the similar ones. The service will display a long list of sites similar to the entered URL. The searching algorithm checks who you are linking to who are linking back to you. There are certain quick start buttons available for IE and Firefox which enables a one click access to the web service. By a single click at the button will fetch you the list of sites similar to the opened one in the main window.

You can also fix certain filters. It will filter out the search results according to the specifications provided. This keeps the foreign language sites and various magazines out from the search results. A thumbs up and thumbs down system is there with the SimlarSites for performing this filtering.
