They're a great company and another thing I really like about them is that they really do care about their users, unlike a lot of other companies.
Microsoft has launched Bing to compete Google but no one can compete Google. Its the best search engine and still they are making efforts to make it more and more exciting..
Google has the best search results and has the most pages indexed also. All these reasons should answer why they are the best.
Google may be the best search engine right now, but there are things about Google that are scary as well. For example, last week I noticed that my Adsence account had been disabled, they said for breaking terms of service. After a long search I found a way to write them and tell them a mistake had to have been made because I've done nothing different than in past years. The next day my site was back up and a coupld of days after that I got a letter saying they were sorry. BUT....They evidently link Google accounts because my Youtube account was disabled as well. I have written you-tube, telling them was a mistake as well, but have not heard anything nor have I got my account back. Here is the problem. Do YOU want Google to have control over YOUR business? I do like that fact that Google is trying to clean up the web but they need a better system for doing it and cleaning up their mistakes as well. I will continue to use Google accounts but I have also decided this year to back things up by posting videos on other places and I am going to try Chitika and other money making methods, not just Adsense. I don't like the fact that Google can control my fate, so don't put all your eggs in the Google basket. Google is popular because everyone uses them. If everyone started using other programs as well it might make them realize they aren't the only fish in the sea! Rhonda
