Google is and i guess to some level will always be a dominant bahmouth when it comes to the SE industry
Google is popular because of its simplicity and far more accurate search result compare to other search engines. - Dynashox -
Google is a straight up G google rolls off the tongue nicely google is really close to googoo, and who doesn't like babies? pick urs
Google will continue to dominate the SE industry for many years to come, and i'm quite certain of the fact that it might face a lot of stiff competition from bing etc, but i think it might just come up with something else new and finish it off once and for all
It was the first search engine to not have a lot of other bullshit on it's page like all the news and shit that Yahoo and MSN had and it also had better results cuz it was the first to account for links.
5 Reasons Why Google Is Popular !! 1. It Was Unique Idea When It Was Invented 2. It Is Easy To Use 3. People Talk Only About Google When They Talk About Search 4. Now Google Have Gtalk And Other Facilities 5. One Can See Googles Ads Everywhere .. They Have Alot Of Money For The Advertisements I Guess !!!
The main reason is the advancement in G's algo. Yahoo and other search engine algorithm are years old as compared to Google. The traffic has been more since starting of G and there is no chance from any end which can make G fail in search engine field.
I think Google is popular because of two main reasons, 1. It has mega machines (servers) that gives you results within milli-seconds 2. Google offers various free webmaster's tools and etc. This is why Google is more famous search engine.
Relevance - people actually find what they are looking for without having to hunt around. Speed - it's blooming quick too.
mostly it's been said but to me it's the best and the most preferred by 1 million to one because it gives the best results. plus no spam results. simple interface. not cluttered. they've obviously worked for years to keep spam results out and the algo has been fine tuned to give people what they want, so they keep coming back plus the brand name has become a household word
Google has become a big company with lots of features and services, while their search and advertising programs are popular their other services haven't always been popular. There browser has less then 5% market share, froogle isn't used much and they closed down google video after they bought youtube.
