Switching from Google to Yahoo
Posted on April 7, 2005
For the past couple of weeks I have performed my searching tasks using Yahoo (not this page, far far too much crap) instead of Google.
Why: Yahoo likes me. When I do a yahoo search for David Dean, this site is the first result. I don’t know where I am in Google’s search for David Dean, but it isn’t in the first few pages. Also Yahoo actually aknowledges that I have inbound links, whereas Google seems to think I don’t have any. This may have something to do with the sandbox theory everyone is talking about, but to me it just seems rude: I know there are links out there to my blog, but Google is lying to me and telling me there isn’t. Even if google wants to hold back those links for calculating pagerank, it should at least acknowledge they exist. It knows about me, so it must have some links to me right?
Everything is good so far, the search results seem to be just as good as Google’s. I am missing the answers.com links in the search terms, and the lack of a usenet archive, but I’ll persevere.
