Google seems to be all the rage. Everyone loves google, it's all about google. Does this mean I am the last man (person) standing to still be using yahoo as my primary search engine? I mean, what is the real difference between the two? Well, we know that it's a popularity contest right? But aren't they equally popular? I feel as though it depends on your service provider. Since I'm primarily with SBC, I naturally turned to yahoo as my first point of reference when I started all this internet/search engine op/browser/hosting/marketing, etc.
They (yahoo) seem to have information that is just as good as google's. When I enter information in the search engine, whether it is Google or Yahoo, I get the same information so why is one better than the other?
I know, I know, Google is taking over the world, they have even become a verb! How many people do you hear saying, "No worries, I'll just 'google it'." on a regular basis?
Yahoo hasn't become a verb. I don't hear people saying, "No worries, I'll just 'yahoo it'." That doesn't even sound right come to think of it.
So, am I to conclude that because 'google it' sounds better, they are more popular and will hence, be taking over the world in the near future? If that's the case, I guess Yahoo had better get on it and find a way to 'verbalize' their name.
I know I've been going on and on about which search engine is better but I've been wondering about links lately too. Check out this link I found which gives information about SEO, exchange links and getting more traffic to your site.

Yahoo did have a series of "Do You Yahoo!" adverts for their search business. Ironically I was unable to find an example on YouTube. Hopefully this had nothing to do with Google ownership.
