Exploring the Search Engine
The vast majority of internet users will use a search engine occasionally, if not frequently. Search engines are routinely included in browsers, no matter if you use Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, or Netscape, with the intent of saving the user time.
It may seem odd to talk about saving time on the internet. Thinking back to 15 years ago, the internet was just starting to burst into mainstream America. The speed and reach of the internet was mind-boggling at that time. Now we’ve come so far with the technology that we actually find ourselves wanting better and faster results.
Your Vote Counts!
As is true with nearly all technology, the internet has evolved to be something much different than it was 5, 10, and certainly 15 years ago. But have internet users evolved in the way they use the internet? We know that humans are creatures of habit. Most of us like to do what we’re familiar with, see who we already know and get along with, and go places we already know we like. I think it’s fair to say that the same can be applied to our internet habits.
New programs, applications, and websites are constantly being created and marketed to users. The ones that get a lot of media attention have a good chance of getting users to at least test them out, even if it’s just on a trial basis.
However, there are other sites on the internet that have been around but aren’t getting the attention they deserve. Let’s go back to search engines. Most people are familiar with the “Big Three” of engines – Yahoo, MSN, and Google. If you’ve paid attention to web trends over the years, you know that each has had their heyday, with Google probably receiving the most attention in recent years.
This is a good illustration of the fact that what is popular one year on the web may be at the bottom of the líst the next year. Does anyone remember when Webcrawler.com or Excite.com were touted as the destination search engine? It’s all a part of the natural evolution and progression of search engines.
Another evolution of the search engine is the creation of the meta search engine. Meta search engines are similar, in that you type in a term or phrase to be searched. The meta search engine then gathers results from several different search engines, compiles them, and presents them in its own search results page.
Get the Number 1 Position on Google!
The results from a meta search engine will vary, depending on which other engines the meta engine is pulling from. Dogpile.com, for instance, pulls results from Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Ask.com, About.com, MIVA.com, LookSmart.com, and others. This quickly accomplishes what would take a user much more time to open all those browser windows and type in the same search term over and over again.
However, Dogpile does receive criticism for its compiled search results page. The sponsored results are mixed in with the “real” results, which can be confusing if you’re not paying attention. It’s also hard to believe that the search results are in any particular order of relevance when broken up with those sponsored results.
Another search engine, Widow.com, uses a tried and tested algorithm to compile its results and then order them in relevance, without sponsored results. When doing a side-by-side comparison of the five top search engines (Yahoo, MSN, Google, AOL, and Fastsearch), you’ll see that Widow.com comes up with not only the most highly ranked results, but some very useful links that the other engines didn’t pull.
To illustrate my point, I looked at how the different search engines handle a specific search word. If we take a term that has been in the news a lot lately, “foreclosure”, and type that in to different search engines, we’ll see different results.
Not surprisingly, Fastsearch had no results on “foreclosure.” Though it is one of the top search engines, its focus is on business and information technology. So it’s really not going to be relevant for anything beyond those topics.
Forget Expensive PPC Advertising – There is an Alternative!
All of the other search engines (five of them!) had one or more sponsored results at the top of the page. Dogpile.com, as I previously warned you, had the most sponsored ads – an astounding 10 sponsored ads on the first results page. Plus, they’re all mixed in with the other results, with just a note at the bottom to let you know it’s an ad or otherwise paid for result.
The only search engine that returned no sponsored results or ads was Widow.com. It sorted through the results, performed its algorithm magic, and produced variety and depth in its results page. Better yet, Widow has a nifty search term bar on the left hand side that allows you to pull up search results for related terms. Talk about saving time and energy!
Of course, the main reason search engines were developed was because the internet is so expansive. No human can search the entire web on their own, hoping to stumble upon the answers and information they’re seeking. Search engines are tools to help users find pertinent information in a timely manner.
Taking a traditional approach to search engines is fine if you have the time, the motivation, and the desire. Sometimes the best drives are the ones where you only have a vague destination, right? So I suppose the same can be true of using one of the top five engines we’ve mentioned.
But sometimes, thinking outside of the box, can not only inspire new ways of thinking, but can help push you or your research in a different, better direction. The most efficient way to do that is to utilize a meta search engine. Try stepping outside of your usual search strategies and see for yourself why it “is” sometimes greener on the other side of the fence. There’s a whole wide world (web) to discover and explore!

Actually, I gave a search on widow.com – you made me curious, and it’s true it did not display sponsoring results, but I was unhappy by the advertising which appears in the left side and which promises top 10 rankings in Google, Yahoo and MSN. I noticed that appears only on web search, but anyways…
Thanks for posting, it was interesting. I wasn’t thinking that could be search engines which do not display ads – until now.
I think mixing up Ads with relevant results should reduce the credibility of a search engine. When you type a key phrase then the best results are one naturally picked up by search engine. Additionally those are closet to search query. On the other hand Advertiser’s usually use “broad” technique so might not be very close to expectation of surfer and ends with a negative impact.
I will go check out this Widow search tool but to be honest Google is the only search engine that I use and this goes for over 60% of all internet users.
The Widow search engine use a totally different algo… searching for meta description as appose to what algo Google uses.
Yeah I agree with Paul. When everyone starts using another search engine only then will I consider moving.
there’s a reason goole is at the top of the game…they’re just great. every time i use another search engine, i end up going back to google.
There are so many SE out there now but the main one i still use i s google. but cuil SE is coming along pretty nicely. although im not a fan of their page layout the results that show up are fairly good. I think this is because they base their search on popularity and not keywords. Since a lot of my own personal sites that I did seo on shows up top 5 on google doesn’t even show up on cuil.
It truly is amazing how dependent the world has become on the internet in so short a time. It’s almost hard to imagine the world without it nowadays.
It’s not easy to have a search engine that will provide you with relevant results. Just look at Cuil.com. Its a big pile of nothing, but 30 million dollars were invested in it. They got some publicity for the first few days and gathered some people who used their engine. But when those people couldn’t find what they needed, they switched back to their old engines.
It’s a matter of habit and the Google is leading the race. He gives us what we need, more then 70% of all searches are done on the bog G.
You’re right.. trying to squeeze out something new is always exciting.. but well from ppc and seo perspective you always have to be ready for the consequences…
Great read! It’s weird how new the internet is and yet it is still being improved upon almost daily!
There is no way in my region to use another search engine than google because others search engines gives not relevant results at all… so
This is a well thought out argument. Thanks.
Google is still my favorite too. Yah, cuil is new and it is giving a good results, I still prefer google for its effective tool to make my work more efficient. I do know that cuil is just starting and there comes a time that it will become the one of the most competitive search engine.
I will try Widow search engine. But for now i have been using Google and almost everyone is comfortable with google. Among other search engines Google is on the top as there are less chance of getting errors while searching for something important. As an seo one should try new options but also should be ready to take consequences in stride.
I think google continuous research will keep them on the top for a long long time.
You have done a lot of research, your articles was very helpfull in my thesis on search engines, i am thankful.
I will go check out this Widow search tool…anyway thanks for sharing…keep posting
I like the cleanliness of information provided in Mahalo. Still a long way for them, but I can see where it goes, especially for newcomers.
Google is good for finding texts but if you have to find images than Yahoo is best!!
I think Google web search will keep being the first.
Anyway thanks for the article and keep up the good work.
I think Google still needs work, it is the best tool for internet marketing at the moment though. Widow looks good as well, I just had to test it out.
am not a big fan of what dogpile does. it undermines the credibility of their search results, when sponsored results get mixed in. and the thing is, am currently quite happy using google, and its search page is rather minimal, so it’s zippy. another search engine will have to offer something extra before i’ll consider over my default…
great post I’ve been using google, got to try microsoft can wait for new post!!!!!
I have tried the Cuil and I still found that the Google Search is a slightly better than it…
Thus, I will stick with the Google Search…
I don’t think that their is one search engine out there that isn’t gameable. Between google, msn and yahoo google is definitely the hardest.
I think thats it, Google is a great SE and we can explore it and experiment things on it… Yahoo is not as better as Google..
I had actually never heard of Opera, or Netscape – I’ll have to take a look into that. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah !!! you are right..Actually every user need to operate Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, or Netscape, with the intent of saving the user time.This is not new..I will try Widow search engine. But for now i have been using Google and almost everyone is comfortable with Google.It’s a safe zone………..
I wouldn’t be able to function online without Google. Dogpile tries to cram the results of the best search engines into one, yet I still find that Google gives superior results and find Dogpile useless.
Google is gr8 for finding texts but if you have to find images than Yahoo rocks!!
Google is in my opinion the best search engine. I prefer to make this my homepage. Yahoo and msn I do not get as good results.
For marketing purposes i and use some firefox seo addons as these really are great for showing pagerank.

Google is used by 80% of the internet users, probably because it’s so simple and it’s engine is so good. I only try some other engines when the phrase is very strange and I cannot find anything interesting in google. Cuil engine totally sux in other languages and I dont think that anyone can now compete with google.
it would be hard to improve on google but hey why not
Yup.. I think that google is ahead a lot. But they are used to grow so there is big question how they will be prepared for stabilization of their business. And of course… Microsoft is preparing new Explorer 8 with integrated services from live.com so it can shake the market too.
I used google often, Every time I used It I got great result, 70% of my traffic is coming from google, For me Goolge is the best SE..
Good article, however i find google as the best search engine ever!
.
Nomatter what i search for, it seems like it is always there on google, ready for me to read it
Google surely gave me the best informations so far, i used yahoo once i believe but that is nothing compared to google.
I like Google just the way it is. It was very helpful having them change their tool to checking search volume to showing the numbers.
I just read an article today on Snopes about the way in which Google employees are treated. They go above and beyond to attract and keep the brightest in the industry. Because of that, I think it will be difficult to top Google.
Most of the people go for Google search engine and this search engine has the biggest market share. People don’t rely on any other search engine because Google search engine results are best and reliable.
nice article
I hear you, I have stopped using Dogpile exactly for this reasons, too many sneaky sponsored links.
It’s amazing how quickly the internet has evolved. I remember when we first got the internet at my house & I had no idea it would be where it is today.
Allot of webmasters do forget to validate for w3c I know its not a must but you must use tags like etc… good.
Google is still tops with me. I remember what search was like before they came along — I couldn’t find anything useful searching on the internet.
Nice to have you back! I totally agree that even though there are main sites that are great for searching, there are always other things to try and ways to discover. There is a new site called Cuil that is getting a bad rap because of how they display their search results. I think Cuil is a new, fresh idea and that it just needs time to improve.
I think we all use Google because it is the most popular; but just like anything that’s new, Cuil will probably improve in time and be very competitive with Google. Thanks for the post, very informative.
What do you think about Google’s Chrome?
The problem is that Google is so much the number 1 search engine that anything looking different from what we’re used to will most likely put us off as were feel comfortable with what we know. Ill certainly give Widow.com a try though.
Thanks for this information you mentioned here, It’s very useful. You’ve done great work. Cheers
I feel that no matter what the competition – the simplicity and speed of google will always win over other SE’s. Google does well to let the viewer know when ad’s are being paid for. So I don’t mind them all that much.

Following up on David’s comment, I’ve heard (from fellow co-workers) that Google Chrome is great, especially since it’s in beta stage. It’s clean, fast, and novel. The only downside, from the same sources, is that there aren’t many plug-ins (add-ons?) at this time, so if you’re a casual Web searcher, it’s great…if you like to do “advanced” things, it’s probably best to wait until it’s out of beta.
Though more or less everybody agrees that Google is the search engine most use, I think there’s still a long way to go before any search engine can give the results people are searching for. What I mean is that when I search for precise information on a topic the top results thrown up rarely satisfy my needs. I suspect web sites reach the top of the results due to a number of factors but not purely based on the best relevant content.
Hi,
Search Engines is the world’s latest invention,it helps to all people in different ways.There has good contest among Google,MSN,Yahoo,but still we all follow the on and only Google.Is it true that Google is the leader of Search Engines??
Regards
Gopal
@Davids – It’s OK but it’s not perfect. There are also several privacy problems with Google recording every keystroke in it’s address bar. It is fast though.
Google themselves have said they are only 90-95% done with search. They have not perfected it yet. As they are 10 years old I can see them progressing at 9% a year so they should have perfected it by 2010! Hardly likely. With the exponential growth of the internet more and more complex search programs will be needed to make all the information easily available to people searching for it.

Thanks for sharing. I´m in love with this site!!!! yeahhh
Nearly each week look in I here and read with large interest the interesting and always well written contributions. Today I would like to leave gladly to a greeting from Thuringia in Germany!
Thank you for the awesome post. I’ve learned a lot for drooping by here.
Response to iPod Touch (John)…yeah, the privacy issues are something else I heard about. Someone also told me an issue regarding “.exe” files, as in they aren’t flagged at all, which could be harmful if viruses were to get through. Heard anything about that?
About Google, I have just one trouble…Its searches are not filtered…..Always require 15 minutes for getting the perfect result.
Am looking for engines giving the best filtered results…
I anticipate bond up Ads with accordant after-effects should abate the believability of a seek engine. When you blazon a key byword again the best after-effects are one by itself best up by seek engine. Additionally those are closet to seek query. On the added duke Advertiser’s usually use “broad” address so ability not be actual abutting to apprehension of surfer and ends with a abrogating impact.
there’s a reason goole is at the top of the game…they’re just great. every time i use another search engine, i end up going back to google.
I think there should be no debate on google, i feel google is number one and will reamain for long long time. They keep on adding new features every other day.
I was addicted to the internet in college with about 6 other people in the entire campus. I bet those computer rooms are a lot fuller now!
I have not used many of the search engines that you have talked about. I am going to go test them out and see how I like them. Thank you for sharing the useful information.
Of course Google is always going to be the most popular pure search engine, but I think Yahoo! is more popular of a site because of their automatic integration of news and updates on their page.
Interesting blog! I will try Widow.com but I use google.com. I think the basic reason is the simplest design and simple page. Anyway, Widow.com is offering interesting tools and I will surely like to visit it.
Good writeup. It’s getting scary how Google is starting to take over the net especially with the release of Chrome.
Google is currently the best Search Engine, but they could still do some major improvement on the filtering of their results.
For me google is the best right now. But I do think that one day, maybe one day some other search engine will over take them.
I never heard of widow.com so I tried it out before leaving this comment. I found my main keyword phrase didn’t list my site, yet in Google, I was on page 3. I’ll stick with Google.
I never heard about it before..
I just use google for all my time..
thanks for this useful article..
Google is definitely tops but for how long. I find it hard to believe that someone won’t soon offer them some serious competition.
“The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect.”
Thanks for the tips. Will try and see how it works.

Now a days the search engine are getting too much smart to catch. Though all of us are trying to know the search engine.
Just try cuil. You’ll get totally irrelevant results!
I have tried doing some searches on Widow.com and with Mahalo, but to be honest I still think Google is the best. Yes the other websites dont have as much spammy content with the sponsors and what not but like its already been said, there is a reason Google is at the top of the world.
I just tried Cuil and the results were ok for what I searched for, but like a lot of people I’m too used to using Google to change at the moment.
Another problem I found with Cuil – I tried Cuil.co.uk to see if they had a UK version and it’s got an unrelated site on – that won’t help it if it wants to roll out versions for other countries.
I think a lot of people already mentioned it but yeah… google is still way ahead. I heard that 3 engineers from google are starting a new one. It will be interesting to see what it gives.
Yes I remember when Webcrawler.com or Excite.com were 2 of the search engines to use, so was AltaVista.com. It doesn’t take long for the flavour of the month to be yesterday’s hero on the Internet does it. Will Google go the way of its predecessors? Wh knows, all I know is that a lot of people are doing all they can to get to the top of Google’s rankings.
Yeah I agree with Paul. When everyone starts using another search engine only then will I consider moving.
Google is still the best i think, that new search engine that the ex employees og Google have started isnt suppose to be very good and Google have 3x more indexed pages
There is no doubt that search engines have changed the web and made it so much more user friendly compared to the old days.
you think google still is the best? thats very nice..
I also think that google is the best. I tried to play with cuil, yahoo and msn. but their analitical algorythms are still poor. Also 80% traffics on my pages came from google,
I only uses google for any searches on internet. I have always found my search results when for what i search for.Mostly all of them get. No wonder google is the best and used 90% more than any other SEO. I will search for the window. com as you said.lets see.
Yes…I remember Dogpile having that problem with their search results. Adding sponsored results intertwined with the legit ones. This still happening?
I visited the widow.com. Really there aren’t any sponsored links/ads in the results of the search terms. Thus an important question is that how a search engine can exist without business. Some major search engines run the PPC campaign for their financial assistance. The major benefit with widow.com is that it provides the facility of including words or excluding them as per your desire. This is very helpful……………great.
Google has changed a lot over the years when they started it was just a simple nice search engine now it is expanding everywhere.
The search engines are the playing a big role infront of the internet user. Without Search engine, i think people can’t move a single step.
Mostly these days the search engine has some latest search algo. This is helping us to find out the exact result.
thanks
Optimising for search engines is one of the things that has infected the web as the race to be on page 1 of Google causes people to do whatever it takes – even though you have o real control over what Google chooses to show. Sure you can try to influence results by doing to your site what you think Google wants, but ultimately if you’ve got a good website it will appear anyway.
Content is everything.
I hate Dogpile as a search engine, I think its name describes it perfectly.
i am frequent user of search engine for me there is no use of internet without search engine but 99% i use either google or yahoo.
some time i use social search engine, becoz social search engine are emerging trend so i use to keep an eye on it
Thanksn for the interesting blog.It’s very nice that you ive writing the subjects about seo.
the race of search engine is huge and getting huge everyday for more competitors its tough to choose the perfect but i find google as the easiest and much flexible saerch engine all time!
Good summary of important search engines and their features – good, interesting read, especially for people like me who invest a lot of time into search engine research.
Google has changed it’s engine lately. It’s now more content related and not backlinks related and I think thanks this it’a a reall great search engine. It make seo more and more difficult.
Nice Post there. I always use Firefox, Google & Yahoo. Thanks for the insights.
Thanks a lot for sharing this!
I still think that backlinks matter a lot, but content is key too now… so I think a healthy balance of both is the trick
I really like these tips thanks for sharing this information. I am quite interested in using Google and yahoo.
Great post and some really great explanation of search engines.
This is an interesting post, I have been searching for a success blog new creation I will give this a try out over the next few week, thanks for sharing
this a great article. nowadays the search engine has become the entry point of web and has terrific impact on e-commerce and online media. it certainly takes a lot away from traditional portal business such as yahoo
I´m coming from germany.. and there is only google with a market share over 90 percentage. All other serach engines are irrelevant.
i’m indonesia, ya we have to explorer.
Google has changed it’s engine lately. It’s now more content related and not backlinks related and I think thanks this it’a a reall great search engine. It make seo more and more difficult.
It’s will be my problem
yah. google has the best search engine than yahoo. it gives complete detail when you entered the keyword you want to find on web…=)
Even if you find companies that use similar technology and tools, every company has their own set of internal processes and procedures.
Until a search engine comes all that gives better results, Google is and will be king. It’s the only one I use.
the important thing about search engine is they can organize which is related content on what we’re looking for, although many articles still just copy and paste but SE always change their algorithm to satisfied internet user for better result.
It’s really very amazing how SEs are able to organize those limitless numbers of links and pages over the internet.. Another thing that really amaze me is the way SE return relevant returns according to what you typed as a query. No wonder SEs have been a powerful tool for research..
Most of search still reliable on Google and we can say google got monopoly over the search in users mind, but still many search engine coming huge scope for search engine available in market to provide healthy competition to Google, for any internet business SE become main door of entrance
nowdays, using search engine to find any data information very simple, that’s why lots of visitor come to this point.
if you’re making money with this method, one good point is looking for a long tail keywords to reduce competitive with popular keywords and off course with specific keywords that you’d like to use.
traffic certainly bigger from this one. i’m agree with you
cheers and have a nice day
Google is definitely KING of the internet at present, but there are signs that twitter may start giving it some competition. Nobody anticipated this development in the early days of twitters existence, thats for sure!
this a great article.It’s now more content related and not backlinks related and I think thanks this it’a a reall great search engine. It make seo more and more difficult.
Great article! I remember when looking things up on the web was just starting, and was amazed at how I could look things up. In the early days, I remember getting a little bit confused as to which search engine to use, as well as just what is a search engine?!! My children are teenagers, and they can’t believe that we only started using the internet, and really computers just since they were born….they both had a mouse in their hand by the time they were 3 years old!
wow!!! this was a great articlewhich i seen nowadays the search engine has become the entry point of web and has terrific impact on e-commerce and online media. it certainly takes a lot away from traditional portal business such as yahoo and I´m coming from germany.. and there is only google with a market share over 90 percentage. All other serach engines are irrelevant.nice to visit this site .
I think Google still needs work, it is the best tool for internet marketing at the moment though. i use social search engine, because social search engine are emerging trend so i use to keep an eye on it.
A Web search engine is a tool designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are usually presented in a list and are commonly called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in newsbooks, databases, or open directories. Unlike Web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input.
A search engine operates, in the following order
1. Web crawling
2. Indexing
3. Searching
Google will stay on top for a long time. However, there is probably some kid in Iowa age 9 working in his basement right now who will revolutionize everything.
No one able to Compete to Google in Current scenario , Google Become King of Search Engines, “G” can easily Rule for long time.
yeah very right there doesnt seem any competetor right now who can threat Google

Now we’ve come so far with the technology that we actually find ourselves wanting better and faster results.
It seems what happened was when MSN and Yahoo were at the top of their game, they got a bit lazy. Then Google came into the picture. Few took notice until things really began to take off. Now we see Google with the largest percent of the search engine market, with Yahoo and MSN trailing far behind.
Hi,
Thanks for tutorial .. i have a cool cursor now :p
Regards,
D Najmi
I cannot stop being surprised at how fast the internet develops nowadays and more and more search engines appear. But, to my opinion goog.com is the best and most enhanced search engine ever as to most of my friends as well.
Hello……….Its a nice post i am totally agree with IT Certification Training’s word that there doesnt seem any competitor right now who can threat Google.
Internet developes very fast!Nearly every day you hear about new products or updates for old ones!I am just wondering what will be in 5-10 yrs?
I guess people has failed to explore the google search engine more then 50% still now. Google should be explored first .
I have to follow the lead of your. I really need that.
I don’t see a search engine at Widow.com , its a dating site for widows
As recently lunched Bing Microsoft’s new search engine. but i see it far away from google because it made only GUI and look changes rest of all copy of yahoo and google so need something totally new and unique idea to compete with Y and G.
It was really great post. It was one of the most important article. Google is on the top as there are less chance of getting errors while searching for something important. I learned something great about search engines. It was very useful for me.
I always use Google, but just because Google is the main traffic rank don’t write off the others as they still get good traffic.
Google Insights is amazing I encourage you try it out, its free.
why are there so many new sprouting internet marketing blogs, tips, articles and stuff like that everywhere on the web? they are everywhere, here there everywhere.. are you guy’s making money out of this? It’s so damn boring, i mean, every internet marketing articles out there are just exactly the same.. come on, can you just create a more unique one?
That’s true about the widgets slowing things down!, I only noticed that once I removed them all, now this site seems to load allot faster than it did.
Did you notice any changes in your search engine rankings after?.Thanks for the great info.in your site.
Great Blog… Congratulations!
There is so much to explore on search engine just like the universe. By for me I like yahoo for its user friendly applications and etc. I like it more than msn and google.
Microsoft’s latest innovation, Bing, is starting to receive a large amount of attention. If the Yahoo-MS deal goes through, Google will have something to worry about (or not) .
Thanks for the info- it turns out Microsoft’s bing really is making an impact, it seems to me your blog is getting a lot of search engine traffic from bing- have you found this to be the case?
But, understand, the images that show up are owned by someone else, and, are therefore copyrighted. You can download them for personal use, or for school projects, but not for publishing or resale.
While single search engines are often useful, such as ask, google, or yahoo! (sorry, yahoo) I usually recommend people to dogpile.com, because it care fully picks through the most related answers from several search engines before presenting he to you.
I want to know how the Yahoo Search Engine can be restored to normal when a spyware and/or other viruses affected the system. I have been downloading some anti-spyware programs, such as Spybot, to reverse the effects and I want to know what applications I can used to turn the search engine back to normal.
With the advent of BIng and Wolfram Alpha, as well as the matchup between Yahoo & Microsoft, the goalposts are being moved, and it is inevitable that Google will have to adapt in order to retain their lead. Interesting times are ahead in the search engine wars.
I remember being at university and telling a friend I’d found a great new search engine that was fast, gave good results and had none f the BS that went with Yahoo. 10 years later I’m still firmly a google user and I don’t think anything is going to persuade me to use anything else.
very good content on the search engine why as google is success in the search engine other search engine is not got success that much
thanks
Google for me is the must use search engine. I always find the sites that I am looking for.
Great post. Be back to read more.
Well why not if people tend to search for a new engine that gives more out of expectations than maybe i would consider it
There are many search engines such as yahoo, google and bing so on. The recent news is that these search engines are in competition each other and so on. How can we determine that a search engine is giving best search results?
Google commands the lion’s share of the market. This allows Google advertisers to be much more targeted in the searchers they reach, while still reaching a large number of people, so I recommend Google in most cases.
Yahoo and Bing are a distant second and third to Google. Advertising on Bing and Yahoo can be profitable, but it is inadvisable to open yourself up to bing and yahoo traffic unless you have already developed and deployed a winning Google Campaign.
I had the same problem a few weeks ago and i fixed it without installing anything. It’s a virus called “go.google”. I tried installing stuff and still didn’t work. The next steps worked for me so I guess this is the best way.
well all my work is done with google i have tried others but still i have to come back to google.
Great post. I really like your post very much. All my work is done with google. I just love google very much. Because it make me up to date. Thanks for sharing such a fabulous post with us. Keep blogging.
Really insightful post. I like it. I don’t find the answer why Google so dominate here. Perhaps it’s only a usual habit.
To the poster who said a Bing or Yahoo marketing campaign is not worth it, consider this. Bing and Yahoo traffic tend to convert better than Google traffic, so you could be leaving money on the table.
I am very new to this topic that is Another evolution of the search engine is the creation of the meta search engine.I got such a fabulous information. There are many search engines such as yahoo, google and bing so on. But i use Google because it is very simple and speed. This post is very useful and so informative. Thanks for giving this post.
I have to admit that using google is just a habit now and I rarely even think about using another one. The fact that “google” has now become a verb in our vernacular says a lot about the quality of the product it provides imho.
After Bing’s entry the competition among the search engines is heating up. This augurs well for the internet users as they can get more relevant and informative results for their search term. For the webmasters ho are providing quality contents the chance of standing at the top of the search results are more if they concentrate on SEO.
Bing is building a nice following, but their algo is pure crap compared to google. I hate to admit it but thats how the G got on top, giving people the answers they wanted.
Bing is doing some good things for the search industry, hopefully Google’s Caffeine will show us some positive changes in the world of search.
After msn change into bing. Bing try to power yahoo search engine. With this we hope that Google domination over search engine will end.
Very interesting article. Thanks for taking the time and thought to post it!
I think it’s pretty amazing that Google has become to web surfing what “Band-Aid” or “Kleenex” have become to health and personal care. I applaud Microsoft and Yahoo for trying to keep their brands in the hunt with a company whose name has become synonymous with “searching”.
Google admires me with his new updates with the users comment. Seo makes the organic part to enroll the numbers of websites in search. Now google chrome browser was using effectively.
I am tried doing some searches on Widow.com and with Mahala, but to be honest I still think Google is the best. Yes the other websites don’t have as much spam my content with the sponsors and what not but like its already been said, there is a reason Google is at the top of the world.
The ever excellent Jakel Daily blog. Can’t complete my day without having to sumble here for a few clicks.
there’s a reason google is the most succesful …
they’re have a simple design and return the best search results for any term
I usually use google but accasionally find myself using yahoo just because I tend to read their news more. I don’t even bother with other SE. Especially Bing! That’s just bad.
I like google for the speed, bing is not to bad, yahoo is awful.
