yes but ur dental locator zip box doesnt exist. u spend so much time commenting and no time actually building ur sites.

Why don’t u actually put some real content on ur site instead of random videos and clip art.

My experience with Yahoo is that only large sites are small Deiten have made it difficult

Well…I’d say search engines are a lot like soft drinks. Sure, there are label differences, “taste” (relevance) differences but in the end…a lot can be said for the marketing spin & hype around each one.

Oddly enough, the soft drink market share of the big five is pretty close to the search engine market share of the big five.

The main thing that pulled me into Google was the variety of products that they offer beyond being just a search engine. Yahoo has a lot of the same things, Google just does it better for me. I dig the Google toolbars more than the Yahoo toolbar, Gmail is better for me, it's all synched between analytics and adwords too. Yahoo has a lot of work to do for the business user, but maybe they can pull back more casual users? Jake NoteScribe: Premier Notes Software

More than one blind test proves that (where people picked Yahoo!’s search results as the superior set) till the “brand” names were disclosed and people chose Google as the superior one then.

Classic Coke vs Pepsi test.

I personally use Yahoo! (and occassionaly use Google). The reality is, for whatever reason people are using Google. Will be interesting to see if people switch over.

I think they’re too far behind in the caching race. They used to have a fairly competent search engine, but Google totally dwarfs everything else now. There’s little that one can find using other search engines that he or she can’t using Google, and many of the smaller sites that appear on Google don’t exist anywhere else.

Yahoo search engin is dead. Most of the Yhoo new searchers are from Google.

Eric,

you probably should add something to this post to resolve the conflict between this and your later post “ComScore: Google’s Search Volume Accelerates In September, But Market Share Dips”, where you personally shot your argument that yahoo’s share was in decline … without acknowledging it.

Yahoo has to add new features to differentiate them from others, for example, PopGist has a nice presentation that Yahoo may want.

I find myself returning to Yahoo more and more for searches these days. Google isn’t as good as it used to be.

Comscore’s September numbers are out… even though G is still dominant, they lost share to Yahoo this month. The data above is outdated

I agree, enough with the search spamming results on users. Example 98 million results for search term “dentist”. One result with a Dental Locator zip search box and social networked results is all a consumer needs.

My impression is that even though most ppl use Google, most of them do not have a strong preference, they just happened to use Google because everyone says “google this” or because it is default in their browser. Only geeks like us care about page ranking algorithms, semantic graphs, amount of crawled data, all that technical stuff. Most consumers don’t. Try skinning Yahoo! search to look like Google, hide the URL field, and I bet, 99.9% of the Google users won’t be able to tell the difference (even some of us who read this blog).

Could any search engine find new searchers through an ad campaign?

By: Darnell Clayton

Yahoo needs to do more to clean up the spam on the search engine (especially spurious porn).

Unless they are able to do a good job at that, many people will not use it and instead choose Google or Live.com–which is not half bad (but its still lacking when compared to Google).
