Where does Yahoo! work better than Google?

People often criticize Yahoo! saying that its search results are crap! At the same time, they claim that Google is foolproof and its search results are the best.

However, this is not always true. Search results in Yahoo! are at times much better than those of Google. For Google haters, this means that one can still surf the Internet without Google’s help.

I will prove my point. The other day, I was researching on “Abacus” so that I could gather more information of www.abacushome.info.

Here are the top 10 search results in Google:

GOOGLE DOES READ META TAGS!

Include them in your webpages for better results.

Let me prove my point:

I was searching for information on Russel Brunson in Google. I came across this result:

I clicked on the link and opened the page. I couldn’t find any of the text that I saw here. I assumed that the page might have changed and so I tried the cache version. Even that didn’t contain the text I saw here.

Then I clicked on view source and there in the meta description tag I found this text. Here is a screenshot:

Google is penalizing blogs suspected of selling links. Prominent blogs like ProBlogger have seen a decrease in pagerank. Earlier ProBlogger used to be PR-7, but it is PR-4. The strange thing is that blogs that are not selling any links have also been penalized.

This bring into my mind certain questions about Google and its policies:

• Is Google the Internet Police ?
• Who are they to decide what webmasters should be doing ?
• Why should we use “no follow” whenever I link to somebody ?

If you have a wordpress blog that gets a steady amount of traffic, you can monetize it using adsense.

Here is a tutorial explaining how to add adsense to your wordpress blog.

There are also many plugins that let you to do this. And there are also some free templates that comes with adsense preinstalled such that the click though rate is maximum. You can try them as well.

Many people (search engine optimizers) say that Google updates 2 times or so a month. The last post I wrote has been indexed and updated. And that was a few hours ago. It is even turning for some keywords. I never believed Google to be this fast and dynamic. May be Google is in love with this blog

Here is a screenshot of the last post in Google’s index:
