It has an amazing brand behind it. When it came out, it was the total opposite of Yahoo & Lycos, no clutter, links/graphics all over the place, just a search engine, and everyone liked that. It became a household name. Eventually, something better will take over.
Google search is the best search engine, there is nothing even close! Chrome is the ONLY web browser that doesn't crash on my 6-year old Dell computer.
As a search engine ... It simply finds what i'm looking for. It is also proving me with lots of tools and web stuff that makes the web way much better; Google grid.
Everybody does NOT love Google - Not as a SE anyway, and Yahoo's Search Results are way better... Their tools are the only thing really worth mentioning...
Google was nice and easy to use, and it still is for the most part. It's also pretty accurate with searches... well the most accurate one so far.
As a search engine, Google have a simple interface and fast to load. The search result that Google generate also way better than other such engine. - Dynashox -
Google is the best Search Engine pay per click ads for Web Master tool Google Analytics And Many many more...
Another reason is that Google provides a variety of tools to promote ones website, like Adsense, adwords, webmaster tools, analytics, G experiments and just for free !
As of November of 2008, Google had obtained nearly 72% of the US Search market. http://www.hitwise.com/press-center/hitwiseHS2004/google-searches-nov-08.php Yahoo had 17.70%, MSN 5.45%. Focusing on Google gives you access to 72% of people searching, far more than yahoo and msn.
I like Google because: 1. I earn from it. 2. It Send me Traffic without any cost 3. Whenever I'm stuck on a topic, it Gives me relavant information. The List just goes on and on, its Pretty Endless.
I don't like google. They control too much of the internet as it is and are creeping into potentially scary big brother-ish territory.
