when i search on yahoo or msn for something i usually get the same results as i would with google so why is google considered so much better?
Personally I think people use google because their site is so simple to use. Yahoo and msn have too much stuff on their sites. And Ask.com just tries to hard, and their seach engine spider is horible. It may view your page a million times, but you might only get 1,000 clicks from it.
Because they approve almost empty sites too. Thus it's in everybody's reach. Not like DJ or other such marketers.
Its comes down to the fact they provide good results and are always active in getting rid of spam....mixed with the fact they are simple to use and branded. Yahoo has a lot of different features and content...same with MSN. GOOGLE is search and its the myspace of the search world. Google is BRANDED as a search tool...unlike msn or yahoo. In fact for YAHOO or MSN to complete they are going to need to come up with a separate search entity if they want to compete. Regular people don't care to much for absolutely the most relevant search. They want easy to use with decent results. Webmasters want relevant search.....in fact less relevant search means more money for google.
The best thing about google is that google.com complete page comes up 10 times faster than yahoo.com and msn.com .. and i m very impatient person.
Google is the daddy. and you respect your dad...... and oh yeah...it was the fastest sperm amongst million others
Lot of reasons For wembasters Webmasters like it because it gives 10x traffic for same rank.And you are here on webmaster forums For non-webmasters It is catchy word. It has very clean and simple design. And it also serves better related pages than anyother search engines (mostly).
Yep, it is (from Oxford Dictionary)... goo•gle |ˈgoÅgÉ™l| (also Goo•gle) verb informal [ intrans. ] use an Internet search engine, particularly Google.com : she spent the afternoon googling aimlessly. • [ trans. ] search for the name of (someone) on the Internet to find out information about them : you meet someone, swap numbers, fix a date, then Google them through 1,346,966,000 Web pages. ORIGIN from Google, the proprietary name of a popular Internet search engine.
Google was the first *quality* search engine. Yahoo started off using Googles results and MSN has only (relatively) recently improved theirs. So, as well as some of the other reasons listed here people use Google because they always have done. I've never counted but I bet I do 20 - 50 searches a day and have done for some time. To fire up Google and enter my search term is completely automatic to me now.
Haha, wow. Yep, when I think search I immediately go to Google. I've seen my Yahoo! links go completely down (and I'm on the front page for many keywords)... which sucks sometimes. Google, on the other hand, has hundreds more links to me and I'm not even on the front page.
I see Google being as important as it is simply because the amount of the market it covers 70% of traffic from search engines come from Google on my sites. If Yahoo or MSN or any other search engine was sending the same amount of traffic then I would be just as intrested in them too. I do still feel that all search engine are imortant though even if it is only 5% of the market it is 5% that some people dont bother even trying to get meaning it is 5% extra visitors over my competitors. I also try and make my sites as accessable as possiable too for the same reason.
It seems that Google has much more than 55% of the search market... at least 70%. I only know a handful of friends who still use Yahoo! because they claim it's cleaner and has better results, while most people I know have Google as their homepage.
