which is a better search engine Yahoo or Google.

[mcmuffin69]

I feel Google is alot easier to use because its straight forward and does not have as many ads posted everywhere. On the otherhand there are specialist at Yahoo answers to help answer questions. So who cares about the looker more.

[desilator]

Google is better... hands down.. end of discussion.

[kolkka]

Google is better as in search engine.

Yahoo is good for other things or maybe just average, like Yahoo Answers.

[sunil_gupta20801]

Yahoo search results are good too but people are use to of Google and find no reason to look for other search engines because they are satisfied.

[Lumberjack!]

There's no reason to use Yahoo's search engine when there's Google. : D

[atulperx]

I think no one is their too beat Google right now . Yahoo works on many sides they have their own website and other sources too but Google mainly work on search engine quality . Because goggle know that most of their processes are working just because of Google search engine .

[rockarolla]

Well Yahoo has some major problem indexing its own pages ... and f course they do support a smaller database than google - the google rankning requires a lot of space and CPU time ...

[rockarolla]

Well the one to beat google can be MSN LIve search - they are coming back - maybe in a year or so unless they are not interested in the market ... anyway they have the means to do it ...

[JohnEvan]

yeah, for searching reasons, I always prefer google, BUT if you are promoting your website or something, you should NEVER NEVER ignore other search engines small or big.

[mranderson930]

Google is definately the best

[vietnamimpressive]

in term of search engine then google is still better but no one can say in one day yahoo will not pass google!

[ameran]

I get always better results by Google. I do not understand, sometimes Yahoo cannot show its own services in the search results if I am looking for them then I visit Google and I find them easier by there.

[seocipl]

Google is better than the yahoo as search engine

[mudassar]

I think Yahoo Search is Good too, but Google rules just for its simplicity only, What you say ?

[jessa234]

google gives more search results and i find it slightly faster

[Sohan]

What's better, an apple or an orange?

[ste1975]

There's no reason to use Yahoo's search engine when there's Google. : D

I use Yahoo as my first search engine because I get paid 0.02p $0.04 per search…..

So there is a reason why I to use Yahoo :D

Ste ;)

[Asad]

Uncle Google vs Aunt Yahoo!

Hmmm.... Uncle rocks aunt! :D

[Gaint]

Google For Sure

[eLeSlash]

[my_misyel]

My loyalty is still on Google. =)

[Mega B]

The Big G.

[SEO_WatchDog]

Some time ago I wrote an article comparing major search engines - Google VS Yahoo (http://blog.promotionseo.com/?p=3) first thing. You might take interest in reading just what I found...

[tendulkar2]

as You also know, Google is far more better the Yahoo.. :)

[87Lakers]

Why do people keep asking this question? How tired and boring...

[UTOPIA]

Simple question, simple answer - Google.

[idigtravel]

Google is better in terms of usage, but my yahoo and msn traffic converts way better (PPC). Still trying to get my organic results to improve on yahoo.

[collegekid]

yahoo = better media, google = better search

[break_em_offhtx]

google................

[Kyliemeg]

I always use google. I don't like the advertisements on yahoo.

[LeMelon]

Google by far.
This is just my opinion of course!
But when I once had a problem connecting to google (on my side, not theirs I think) I had to use yahoo and found the results less accurate to what I wanted to find and it looked a lot more cluttered than google.

[!nfamous]

Google is much better in my opinion.

[choicearizona]

I learned how to get my site on page one of Google. Yahoo? No idea. I have zero clue how to get a site ranked highly on it. If anyone knows, please do tell.

[pioneer1]

Google is better, but Yahoo is not far behind :)

[ciplseo]

I think Google is better than the yahoo

[mit]

Google No.1 Ofcourse

Nobody can beat Google.

[bposervices]

I will prefer google than yahoo

[IntC]

Ofcourse GOOOOGLE :)

[MarcL]

No competition... its google all the way.

[Parka]

Google gets more accurate pages.

[Dglassman26]

This question has been asked about 1,000,000 times on DP. It is a matter of opinion as to which search engine is better. Rather than ask for others opinions just try them both out and pick the one you like better.

[dolin88]

google has the most traffic. so...

[Kimochi]

Google. It's far quicker and doesn't clutter the page.

[locus1]

Its been 2 years now that I haven't searched on any other search engine apart from Google. I guess, I am getting dependent on it so much. Google offers more searches for a given keyword IMHO and they are quite relevant too. Can't comment on Yahoo as I am not using it at ATM.:rolleyes:

[ourktm]

Like everyone here, I too think that google is the best search engine. It just finds me what I need. Yahoo is ok I guess. It is like the second best and if by chance I cannot find anything on google (rarely happens), i try it on yahoo (where I probably will not find it too).

[homebizseo]

Google is the best search engine by far. Yahoo is trying to revamp the algorithm but they are light years behind Google.

[lqyjames]

i thank, yahoo is not good as google, for its search engine arithmetic are not humanization

[jakycharles]

yahoo is a great search engine but as compared to google . google is using in world wide because its fast and give exact search

[CheeseHunter]

This is a really obvious answer, and again, I'm surprised Yahoo hasn't thought of it to improve service.

I use Google because hardly ANYTHING loads. Yahoo has a bunch of junk noone reads. Google its click and go.

[dynashox]

Once I knew abou Google, I never use other search engine.

[kingofsanda]

Google is significantly better than yahoo.

[harsha22]

Google is far ahead of Yahoo by light years....

[simonjohn]

google is the best

[10000listings]

Google gets my vote!

[Petter_Pan]

Well i rarely use yahoo, so i'll have to say google!

[missmelany]

Google, by far.
I never use yahoo to search.

[tztlv]

Google the BEST !

[markov]

Definitely Google rocks. Yahoo could be better with less ads.

[n3o_the_on3]

Google is far better than Yahoo this time thought Yahoo has updated their search performance but Google is very simply gives us the best results . I think People are addicted to Google because they got the stuff they are looking for earlier than Yahoo or any search engine.

[farrhad]

Google Rocks!!!!!!!

[khloode]

of course... Google

[Jim4767]

I lean towards using Google for my personal search.

As far as traffic to my website, though, I am noticing that Yahoo! is gaining on Google. Currently 48% of my total traffic comes from Google and 27% from Yahoo. A year ago Yahoo! brought only 19%. So Yahoo! is gaining on Google in my search results. Yahoo! is also beating Google in pages/visit and average time on my website.

[TonyVeigas]

google for search, but for some community stuff I like yahoo

[alexvorn2]

Gooooooogle!

[feliao]

Accuracy is a subjective thing and I think there is really not much between Google and Yahoo.

Yahoo however has been willing to do a bit more innovation ( I guess they have less to lose). For example they have added a new "Yahoo Search Assist feature" as a dynamic search guidence functionalities which I think is really cool. I blogged about it here for those of you interested - www.search1x.com/2008/05/03/why-you-should-try-yahoo-search

[Lemezo]

You can't compare Google with Yahoo.

Google was made to be a search engine, it started out as a college project. Yahoo instead concentrates more on services.

[mrvix]

my opinion is google because its very fast and easier to catch any informtion.(GOOGLE is the BEST)

[napa]

Yahoo is better.

[imi_99]

google is better all the time

[zurpit.com]

I use Google for search engines but Yahoo has a lot more services

[zurpit.com]

I use google for searching but yahoo has better services

Jim brings up a good point. Yahoo tends to bring higher quality traffic because the people who use Yahoo search tend to be older, as in 30+ years old. The teenagers and the younger generations all seem to use google now. Not only do the young people have no credit cards but they are more web savvy and less likely to click ads.

I went to a SEO convention recently and the guy running it took a poll on who used which search engine more - google or yahoo. To my surprise, far more people used Yahoo. It makes sense now because the average age in the room was probably 40 or higher.

[alpharob]

my websites are all in the top 3 positions on Yahoo, but i hardly receive if at all any leads or enquiries from yahoo, but when ever i put on Google i receive a high volume. yahoo may have a bigger database of sites but most important factor is that google generates the enquiries that a business needs.

[onlinemoney]

Uncle Google vs Aunt Yahoo!

Hmmm.... Uncle rocks aunt! :D

lol ..:D :D

my site is on top in yahoo results but a bit behind in google search for the same keyword ... but still google gets me with more traffic rather then yahoo or any other search engine ....

yes Msn is better as a search engine then Yahoo .. i think so as per traffic to my sites and rankings :D
