My last page I put up was fully indexed by Google in just 6 days. I'll come back later, and reveal when Yahoo, MSN Live, and Ask decide to come to the party. When I see things like this, I am reminded that Google has NO competition, in all practical terms. They are simply better at everything. 1. They are loaded with smart employees 2. They try harder, and they are not even Avis. 3. They RULE, at innovation. Others have tons of money, but they lack the focus, management and corporate culture to ever prevail over Google. Google is not perfect, and they have hiccups from time to time. But they FIX them. For anything that you do on the web, Google should always be your first consideration.
I agree I have lots of my sites pages indexed quickly by Google, but Yahoo an MSN take ages to index imo.
So, it is better because it indexed your site first. Did you submit your site to all the search engines? Did you have good backlinks so the other search engines could index your site faster? Here is how most threads like this begin - * Person puts up a page with Adsense ads in it * Page then gets indexed by Google (because it knows of your page now) * Person comes here and says how great Google is and other search engines are not as good because they did not index their site as fast. Note something missing above? The other engines are not aware of your site's existence. There are other threads on DP that google took longer to index a site than Yahoo for example. Also, please do name some innovations google has come up in search engine technology this year. Really please do so. Te only sad thing is that this being DP, we will now have posters who simply will post that "Google is best" when they see the 1st post automatically.
They crawl my sites alot more than they crawl others, that is also a reason for them indexing faster.
I agree with the OP. And I did submit first to Yahoo then Google and it took almost a month to show up in Yahoo and less than 48 hours to show up in Google. Even when I had a Geocities page owned by Yahoo and I never even submitted to Google, they added quicker than Yahoo.
"The other engines are not aware of your site's existence." Huh? Where did you get this? Google, Yahoo and MSN have indexed my sites for years (this one too). They have ALL indexed ALL my pages - even some I wish they didn't, which I pulled immediately (forgotton stuff, unintended stuff, WRONG stuff, etc.). I follow the rules religiously, and they all index me quite well. I work hard to build trust. I haven't "submitted" anything for years. This particular site has hundreds of backlinks, and a PR5. Google consistantly indexes my pages in from 5 to 10 days. Yahoo and MSN Live always take longer. Yahoo does the most Slurping, but Google does the indexing - they seem more efficient. Recent relative spider visits (MTD) - Yahoo - 10,308 Google - 1,744 MSN - 1,724 Ask - 315 I guess that some people make wild, inaccurate claims, but I am not one of them. I am a data taking maniac - here is some evidence from this week to support this fact - http://www.top-agents.info/site-status.htm .
they can be no. in search engines market becuase they always have some thing newer and better than the competitor. It's just like IBM that never learn from their competitor and never improve themself even they have lots of money. finally they got beaten. Yahoo and MSN will be the same.
i totally agree with this. they are not wonderful but they are allways working googlebot to make better
