Where Yahoo has made its mark is in ancillary services. The site was one of the first to offer free email accounts, which gave it a captive audience of hundreds of million users. It also spread its business into other money making areas such as personals, pay-per-click advertising and a yahoo chat groups. Whereas Google focuses primarily on search engine issues, Yahoo spreads its wings far and wide on the net. One example of this is the relationship Yahoo has formed with other search engines. Simply put, it provides search results to a number of other search engines, such as Alta Vista, so it controls far more traffic than most people think. Yahoo is not as good as Google, but definitely is the second best search engine out there.
MSN is the little search engine that could. While it may seem odd to suggest a search engine offered by Microsoft is an underdog, this is definitely the case on the web. To put it bluntly, Microsoft missed the mark when it first launched MSN.com. The results were horrible and nobody used it. In 2005, Microsoft finally got its act together and launched an entirely new MSN search engine. Surprisingly, I consider it at the top of the list for best search engines. Yes, better than Google. The results are highly relevant to the search, which is good for surfers and sites. The problem, of course, is MSN is way behind the game when it comes to attracting traffic. Still, it seems to have figured out the search engine game at last.
Looking at this list of best search engines on the web, you are probably wondering why others aren’t included. Simply put, most of them are just fronts for results provided by Google, Yahoo or MSN. Dogpile, for instance, is very popular, but it simply compiles the search results of the big three search engines to form its search results. Similarly, AOL is essentially just using Google search results. The list goes on and on.
Any list of the best of something is going to controversial. When it comes to a list of the best search engines, the top three are indisputable.
