SEO has essentially destroyed search engines, what are some very useful websites that you might not get given by Google?

Want to know something about published science fiction or fantasy? Forget Goodreads or Wikipedia bibliographies, the ISFDB has ridiculously comprehensive details about every book, author or magazine I've looked up.

https://www.isfdb.org/

Google will give you ISFDB results if you search for an author or title plus "isfdb" but it's not nearly as high in the rankings as it should be.

    Awesome!! Hadn't seen this before.

    I think this goes on some list I've started of old-style fecking awesome web pages that represent exactly what us old timers are talking about when we say the internet has lost something vital. No frills, community driven, information rich and dense web page producing long lasting value. Just compare this to some recipe page with flocks of ads.
