Google's Related Command Now More Accurate?

A WebmasterWorld thread suggests that Google is getting better at either determining or showing that they know which sites are related to others in the related command. The related command is triggered when you click on the “similar” link in the search results, here is a picture:

Google Similar Related Command

When you click that link, it basically triggers an advanced query for related sites. The query is [related:www.seroundtable.com. And if you look, the results are much more on target then in the past. Here are sites Google suggests are related to this one:

searchengineblog.comsearchengineland.comsearchenginewatch.comsearchenginejournal.comseobook.comhighrankings.commattcutts.comseomoz.org

And there are more and most of them I would consider to be related to this site. In the past, the related command was somewhat of a joke, now it seems pretty accurate.

WebmasterWorld administrator agreed saying:

Good to see this improvement from Google.
