The answer to the question is....yahoo is my friend and google isnt

The question was asked....what do you believe is true even though you can't prove it.
My answer is provided below. This question was posed on
>Yahoo Search Blog



The bottom line is still the same...A search engine will never be able to answer a question unless (1) A human has already answered it (2) they have also written a very well structured website or blog that just happens to have the "question you just asked" strategically placed as keyword phrases throughout the site AND (3) the human who knows the answer and built the website or blog is willing to pay .49 per click to show you the answer to the question you just asked. Makes sense to me.


I have tried this for 2 years now by putting together a phrase that never gets any action as far as search engine popularity like "let's play some world poker tour in Alabama" then use this very same title on a page that is already indexed for "world poker tour" in all the sites including google,msn and yahoo just to see if my page comes up after its been recrawled. Google...not even in the top 100 after 60 days. Yahoo has been the best with it usually in the top 20 as quick as 30 days, with msn a close second coming in the top 40 sites. This is obviously just my own tiny experiment with no-one knowing what i'm doing except me but..... the results have always been the same.

The answer to the question is I believe yahoo is my friend and google isnt ....but i cant prove it!

One more thing i need to throw in here.....I had to change the whole post before my comment was accepted because the word "poker" was in my url,email address and also in the comment. It had absolutley nothing to do with comment spam as i hate it just as much as you do but time and time again the government and spammers have ruined it for everyone. With the filters everyone is putting in place you cant make a legitimate comment unless "it meets guidelines" this is censorship at its finest. In other words feel free to comment but we wont post it if ANY one word inside the post or email or url or name triggers one of our filters. This is stopping spammers but its also stopping legitimate posts and comments which is exactly what we dont need on the net, but we have to stop the spammers too so someone needs to stop the friggin programs that allow them to post 20,000 comments in a few minutes. They wont do it if they have to post one at a time
