    Does Google own Yahoo!? If so then that could explain why Yahoo! is getting better.

    I have a strange phenomenon on one of my sites: although Yahoo picks my links quicker, my page ranks way better on Google than Yahoo. That said only a few of the links are ever really shown with either

    Yahoo is updating faster than Google. But it is because yahoo has a less scope than Google. Google has different features, not just the search engine so maybe that is the reason they cant update more often. However you can help yourself by pinging.

    Which of the two Search Engines does a better job?

    For me they are both doing great job in their own ways. The only
    difference is their algorithm and rules in crawling and ranking a certain
    website. But in my point of view in the matter of using their features
    Google has more to offer than Yahoo. Whenever I try to use Yahoo's
    features it always shows Yahoo 999 Error and that is a little bit :(

    i dont think they differ in any algorithm or so..... because what i always notice is that when you search for same keyword on both of google and yahoo,,there is hardly any difference between the results..... then what is actually the difference....why google is better........may be because of its webmaster tools...is it so?

    now a days yahoo is getting links faster, not in old days cause yahoo is using Bing Search Engine which is really faster than google.. so this is all because of Bing crawlers.. not yahoo!!

    In terms of search results, Google is indeed doing the job better than Yahoo!. But if you are referring to backlinks counts, Yahoo! backlinks of your site will be much more than Google.

    Google is the best in search engines, email providers.
    And yahoo is the best only for the yahoo answers!

    I've been so confused on this problem for a long time. However, I think Google does not own Yahoo. In the past, Google had many plans to own Yahoo but finally, it could not do it.

    Yahoo indexs links quicker. Well at least it will tell you more information about the links it indexs.

    Google is better as more of your customers use google

    Both of them are doing good no doubt on that but in terms of search result Google looks credible.

    We can say like Google is the best search engine in giving good search results and Yahoo! is good in giving good backlinks information. :)
