Search Engines -Google.com,Yahoo.com and MSN.com
Search Engines -What are search engines? As per wikipedia,
A search engine is an information retrieval system designed to help find information stored on a computer system. Search engines help to minimize the time required to find information and the amount of information which must be consulted, akin to other techniques for managing information overload.
With so many search engines coming up in the market every day, there is a tough competition. But so far the 3 most popular search engines have been Google, Yahoo and MSN. I myself have never worried about my rankings in other engines apart from these three major search engines. I feel, if your site ranks high in these engines, then they will automatically rank high in other engines. Many people feel that along with these three main players, ask.com is also a popular engine. If you go to this site Googlerankings.com , it also shows your keyword results from these 4 search engines.
Out of curiosity, I tried to check their rankings on Compete.com and Alexa.com and in both the sites, Yahoo is the King, it is the number one website. Compete is so far, able to track only the US traffic, and very soon they will be recording international traffic as well. Check the rankings snapshots.
I feel the main popularity of Google among the website owners is also majorly due to the Advertising services it offers, in the form of Google Adwords and Google Adsense and along with that Google Pagerank(all are waiting for the next update!). You can boast of a high PR and can always demand good money from advertisers. There can be a big debate over the importance of Google Pagerank, but still the fact will remain that Google pagerank is still important.
As we have put Google as the homepage, my son also knows that if you want to go to any site just type it in the search box. So he tries to learn the spellings of all his favorite cartoon channels, so that he can go to that site and play the games. And for him the default site is Nick Junior when he is not able to ask the spelling of other sites. He knows that for Nick Junior, he has to simply type “Nick Jr” in the search window. To go to his website also, he will first type “urjit” on google.com and then from the results displayed, he will find his site and click on that.So to summarize, Google.com will remain the number 1 search engine.
