Results are similar to Live or Yahoo. But Google get better market share because : They buy market share - on all major ISP with a branded search box - on Firefox... - on every Mac, you can't change the default search box on Safari... - on Open office. - on the most important Social site (Myspace). - They buy millions of "Google Pack" installation. - Large Publishers don't want to promote Yahoo because Yahoo is a competitor (Yahoo Games, Yahoo TV, Yahoo ...) - on quite every website, you have a Google logo (near the adsense links) In country where Google can't buy market share, Google Fails : Russia, Tche republic , China, Japan...
Because two guys from Standford invented a small program that was able to produce more relevant results than any other at the time. It's business tactics were equality innovative and it was able to grow so huge and continues to look for ways to grow. It treats it's employees like kings and queens...Microsoft is now afraid of them because they are so big. I personally don't have a favorite, I think yahoo, and Google suit me the most, and MSN, and some of the smaller ones for more of an in-depth search. That's not to say those search engines are better or worse, but they bring up sites you may have either missed in google or didn't feel like viewing 50 pages to get there, if you know what I mean.
I always thought google was numer 1, as mentioned above its design is simple and doesn't google own firefox?
Google is best. First it gives you exact information what you are looking for. Secondly, there are no flashing ads, just a neat and clean page. It gives you most relevant result than any other search engine. And i personally use Google Search.
The only reason I use google is because of its simple interface. I simply can not stand all the 'stuff' the other search engines push at you.
I would have to agree with the "speed and accuracy" crowd. Google has done a lot of things right as they've grown. But, just as in any other arena, competition is essential for the good of everyone. I would really like to see the competing search engines steal some of Google's thunder.
number of reasons.... 1. Google can translate web pages 2. Google searches documents such as word,pdf,powerpoint 3. Google has one of, if not the largest indexes 4. SERPs most of the time reflect the importance of a document 5. Relevant search engine results 6. Results are generated extremely quickly regardless of the combination of words/options used 7. Simple design these are only a few
I believe Google is one of the best one because they try to be perfect. I said again perfect? Nobody can be perfect, but Google has done a better job in the last few years.
Still stick to google search, but the thing that yahoo wins the alexa it could be due to 1 reason(maybe, correct me if i'm wrong). If you type in yahoo dot com and google dot com, on the front page of yahoo, you can have news, media, stuff and stuff.. thats why some visitor went in yahoo to read news, and etc, while google front page is pretty clean, not counting the link up there, showing news and things. In terms of real search, i guess google is best too, but in terms of viewability is yahoo will be the traffic sticking. My wife went in yahoo, and yahoooo.... for entertainment gossip not even search on the bar, while me, only doing searching in googling..
