About Wazap
Wazap! is a vertical search engine, video game database, and social networking site that aims to distribute gaming news, rankings, cheats, downloads and reviews. It uses a search algorithm, developed internally, to rank indexed pages according to their relevance. Further relevance to the Search engine results page (SERP) is obtained from user interactivity. Users can "Top" or "Flop" any of the results on the SERP and influence its relevance. Wazap!’s "bot" or "crawler" finds gaming related sites across the internet and tags pages according to the pre-defined categories. They also use a user submission tool. Wazap! combines internal proprietary information with their indexed gaming-related information from the web. The results obtained are then accessibly displayed according to the derived quality, publisher submissions, user popularity and preference. Wazap! Was launched by Andreas Ruehrig and is based in Los Angeles, California.
