Google is so popular maybe it's because the Search results being shown by Google satisfies the user.. And one thing that made me use Google for a quite long time is just because They know what the user wants in terms of searching.
Because here mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. The perfect search engine The interface is clear and simple. Pages load instantly. Placement in search results is never sold to anyone. Advertising on the site must offer relevant content and not be a distraction. It's best to do one thing really, really well. Fast is better than slow Democracy on the web works You don't need to be at your desk to need an answer. You can make money without doing evil. There's always more information out there. The need for information crosses all borders. You can be serious without a suit. Great just isn't good enough. When we first wrote these "10 things" four years ago, we included the phrase "Google does not do horoscopes, financial advice or chat." Over time we've expanded our view of the range of services we can offer –- web search, for instance, isn't the only way for people to access or use information -– and products that then seemed unlikely are now key aspects of our portfolio. This doesn't mean we've changed our core mission; just that the farther we travel toward achieving it, the more those blurry objects on the horizon come into sharper focus (to be replaced, of course, by more blurry objects).
because Google rhymes with simplicity and user friendliness. Back in the days AltaVista and Yahoo took ages to load on the old 28.8 and 56k modems. Google came up with a simple page that weights less than 10k and everybody loved it.
Google offers everything you want online.. mail, Search engine, Google ads, analytics, blogger, youtube and many many more....
Apart from that Google was one of the most effective search engines that i used back then, it worked flawlessly and provided the most relevant results i've ever seen from a search engine, but then again that was back then
Google is popular because it is user oriented. Doesn't really have that much advertisements compared to Yahoo.
Google is provide you any information which you want. Google show you many websites you want to see for your require i.e Shopping, article about any theme and any information you want. if you Google not live so how we search that type of website and Google easy to use.
Google is in some cases one of the best solutions when it comes to web searches but it's slowly starting to slip up, i hope Google decides on improving itself so its more Web 2.0 Ready
At the beginning, Google was popular because he was fast. And they show the best result, and they will be put as start page,etc...
