4kids2pay4 asked: And why in the world would yahoo want to put this question in: Business & Finance > Advertising & Marketing > Search Engine Optimization?

awrhodes84 asked: I don’t work for Yahoo! or have any tangible stake in the company, however, everyone is always talking about ‘Googling’ this or that and I don’t understand why. Google’s homepage is devoid of any information or services that would make me even consider using it as a search engine. When I come to Yahoo’s home page, it knows who I am, tells me I have new mail, shows me the news, and provides me with feature stories among other things. Furthermore, Yahoo and Google both take the same amount of time to load. On a personal note, I think Google looks like a novice high schooler designed it, while Yahoo could do without the shameless amount of advertising on its home and My Yahoo pages.

Further confusing me is that Yahoo is the most visited domain on the internet, yet Google controls over 60% of the search engine market. Are people actually using Yahoo for its services and then going to Google to search? I really don’t get it…

David C asked: Plain & Simple:

1. I want to create my own search engine.
2. I want to custom-brand the search engine.
3. Yes, in other words, I want to create my own “Yahoo!” or Google.
4. I am not interested in hearing your views regarding market dominance and how it interferes with the feasibility of this project.
5. I do not want the Google custom search module on my site, as it is NOT custom branded AND it limits my searches to the Google world.
Everybody, I want to thank you all for your answers. I’ve gotten some really useful input from some of you. Please, keep the answers coming, I think this is a question that many people are interested in.

Sugar Stick =) asked: Microsoft and Yahoo combined forces to create the bing.com search engine to provide a tougher competition in the market =P

Especially since 65% of people use google alone !

Have you tried bing.com? I really like it… its cool !
