1. Differences Between the Major Search Engines

[vijaychauhan]

Although the basic principle of operation of all search engines is the same, the minor differences between them lead to major changes in results relevancy. For different search engines different factors are important. There were times, when SEO experts joked that the algorithms of Yahoo! are intentionally made just the opposite of those of Google. While this might have a grain of truth, it is a matter a fact that the major search engines like different stuff and if you plan to conquer more than one of them, you need to optimize carefully.
There are many examples of the differences between search engines. For instance, for Yahoo! and MSN, on-page keyword factors are of primary importance, while for Google links are very, very important. Also, for Google sites are like wine ? the older, the better, while Yahoo! generally has no expressed preference towards sites and domains with tradition (i.e. older ones). Thus you might need more time till your site gets mature to be admitted to the top in Google, than in Yahoo!.

so well that proves obviously..they are different from each. Just like the differences of people who made Google and people who made yahoo.Of course they're not the same people. Logically...

Very well said but something you missed to point out.Every Search Engine's spiders crawl and index websites according to their own algorithm. Google is having its own algorithm and yahoo is having its own and none of them are same and thats why the result will always vary.

And no one can really identify the exact search engine's algorithms..even some claimed they already knew

Very informative. Hope this brings advantage to a lot more online marketers.

Agree with article master. The point of search engines and search engine optimization is each search engine has it's own unique ranking algorithm. It's not as straight forward as on page SEO for Yahoo and backlinks for Google

it is like getting your product or goods or service unique.. that why google and yahoo are too many differences..

For me, It doesn't matter the algorithm or features of these Major Search Engine. The difference of these Major Search Engine is the source of traffic, why? Google have much more traffic than other Major Search Engine.
