"NO HOMEPAGES. NO INDEXES. NO SURFING...
JUST CONTENT BECAUSE YOUR TIME IS
WORTH SOMETHING"

You may have caught the BPubs homepage tagline
and wondered "what's that all about?" Well... BPubs
is crusading for a miniature revolution in the way
search engines work - it's called "Content Indexing".
You can read more about why indexing 'only content'
may become a trend in the way search engines are
changing at the BPubs "about this site" page.
