The Other Search Engines

Attached is the latest search engine usage statitics from Alexa. It shows Google is starting to slip and both MSN and Yahoo are securing the users they have lost.

What search engine would you prefer to see win the batle to be become the king of search

Not that I want Microsoft to have a strangle hold on anything else, but their search engine is delivering better results than Google at the moment.

I can see Google losing the top spot. Not straight away, but eventually.

Its no wonder that the 2 guys that started it have started selling all their shares. I would sell mine too!

I'm still a die-hard Google fan. Something about their simplistic approach to design, as well as their (in my opinion) superior ranking algorith and the efficiency of their engine are enough to keep me with them, at least until Microsoft comes up with a new amazing feature to blow them out of the water.

While I am a die-hard Google fan also, the MSN Beta has been very kind to me. #1 on the Beta for my keyphrase.

I do hope Google comes out better off - but I think it will slowly start to decline.

I'm also a die hard Google fan, but I'm finding results are poor on Google and I cant find what I'm looking for. MSN on the other hand provides better results, and also I've got a higher rank with MSN and Yahoo

People say MSN provides better results, but I'm not too sure. I rank #1 for my keyphrase yet my site has been down for almost 2 months. Msn search knows this. Atleast in Google I'm in the 20's.

I think that MSN just uses anchor text to more of an extreme than Google.
