When you visit a website, you probably notice how some end with .com, .net, or .org. But did you know there are also endings like .uk for the United Kingdom, .fr for France, or .br for Brazil? These are called ccTLDs, which stands for country-code top-level domains.

Each ccTLD is made for a specific country. So, if a business wants to have a website just for people in Germany, they might use .de. That makes sense and can be helpful when content is made for a local audience, in their language and with their needs in mind.

But not everyone uses ccTLDs that way. Sometimes, people make hundreds of nearly identical websites, changing only the ccTLD, like one with .us, another with .ca, .au, and so on, even when the sites are all meant for the same audience. These don’t always add value. Some are even used to try and trick search engines by creating what's known as a link farm, a big pile of similar pages that just link to each other.

If you run different websites using different ccTLDs, that’s okay! But here's a good tip: if the sites all link to each other too much, it might look suspicious. It’s better to keep those cross-links small and natural, not like one big circle of pages pointing back and forth.

We think ccTLDs should be used for real, helpful content made for people in each country. If someone is just using ccTLDs to make a lot of lookalike sites for SEO (search engine optimization), we may skip them to keep your search results clear and useful.

So next time you see a website ending in .nl or .jp, remember, it’s supposed to help people in those places, and Fynd is working to make sure that’s how it stays.

Sometimes you want to find something on a specific website, like Pinterest. With Fynd, you do not need any special tricks, just type what you are looking for and add the site name.

For example, if you want to see recipe ideas on Pinterest, just search:

recipe ideas pinterest

That will show you results that talk about recipe ideas and are from Pinterest. You can do this with other websites too, like Reddit, YouTube, Twitter, or Wikipedia. Just add the name of the site to your search.

It is fast, easy, and helps you find what you need quicker!

We work hard to keep Fynd full of helpful and safe websites, but we also need your help. If you come across a website in our search that looks spammy, fake, or dangerous, let us know!

That includes pages filled with junk content, scams, phishing tricks, or malware. We want to make sure none of that shows up in your search results.

You can report bad websites easily on our feedback page. It only takes a moment, and it helps everyone.

Thanks for helping make the web a better place!

Some websites use "www" in their web address, like www.example.com. Others skip it and go with just example.com. This is sometimes called URL canonicalization, which just means picking one main version of your web address.

For Fynd, it really does not matter. Our search engine treats both www and non-www the same. You can use one, the other, or even both. It won’t hurt your site either way.

What’s more important is that your pages work and load no matter which version people use. If you want to keep things simple, just pick the one you like best and stick with it. But if your site uses both, that’s okay too, Fynd can handle it.

A lot of websites use sitemaps to help search engines understand their pages. But Fynd works a little differently.

Our crawlers find and follow links just like a person would. That means if your site has a clear navigation structure, like menus, category pages, or links between articles, we can find everything we need. You don’t need to create a special sitemap file for Fynd.

If you want to make a visual sitemap for your visitors, that’s totally fine and can be helpful for users. But for Fynd, the best thing you can do is make sure all your pages are easy to reach by clicking around your site. No hidden pages, no confusing link paths.

Simple, clean navigation is all it takes. That’s how we like it.
