Technical notes
Search Algorithms

FreeIQ's search results are sorted and ranked using many different factors and statistics to ensure that content that is determined to be more helpful is given higher placement on search results. Some of these factors include traditional means such as tags, descriptions, and view count, but also include review scores (which are weighted based off reputation and the helpfulness of the review), and how much of the presentation that viewers have watched.

Video Format

In a similar method to other recent video sites, FreeIQ utilizes the Flash Video format and an Adobe Flash based player to view the videos. Videos can also be embedded on external websites using provided HTML code.

Paid Content

Although FreeIQ encourages and supports free content, the site can also be used to sell content. Paid content that is related to search terms appear alongside the free content (which is given better treatment in the display of results) and can be reviewed in a similar method to free content.
