Search Engine Buzz

by pittfall on December 3, 2006

With all of my talk of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) I don’t always look at the other side of the coin. So, after a long relaxing weekend (unplugged), I would like to share some of the buzz that is going around about the engines that we look to entice, or at least appease:

Google Property Performance (Searchblog)
Google Properties Performance
As shown by the numbers above, Google’s primary (duh) business is search.

MSN Loosing Market Share (LiveSide)
MSN has been seeing declines in their market share in search.

Here are a couple of sited reasons:

  • Second redesign in as many years
  • Google looks clean, MSN looks cheap
  • MSN/Live Search is incomplete, offering products that aren’t complete or functional
  • Beta (testing) feel
  • Yahoo! Pushing IE7 (Slashdot)
    A whole lot of effort has been expelled by Google to help promote FireFox, and now it looks like people are thinking that Yahoo! is pushing Internet Explorer 7. Slashdot has a lot of talk about what is going on with Yahoo!

    My preference? None. Like I have posted before, I look at my site in the browsers that are important to me, the browser that my users use. By the way, the majority of my readers and the majority of users on my companies websites is Internet Explorer 6. Take that how you will.
