Google is the emperor of all! There is no doubt about,I doubt if anyone can come even close to them. They have come a long way, I still remember the time it first hit the scene, and now its so big!

Way to go Google!

Is this nofollow for my own protection?

I was hoping you would say something about Google’s worldwide footprint, which is somehow how I got here in the first place, I want to know how many countries Adsense pays out to. You got me sidetracked!

Awesome post! The funny thing is that when you look at Google’s services that don’t integrate right into search (gmail, orkut etc), they don’t do near as well. I don’t mean that like Gmail is a bad product (quite contrary), but it doesn’t have the usage that Yahoo or hotmail does.

I think Yahoo has gotten better about buying companies or creating sites that can easily be integrated in their search engine. Flickr and delicious stand out. Of course they refuse to take the plunge and integrate delicious into their SERPs. They keep toying around with it. It should have been done months ago.

It is a really good set of pointers, and very cleverly researched and presented.

I think the one thing missing would the user experience aspect – Google have made it clear from day one that this was their own fundamental focus, and when you deconstruct Google vs Yahoo and similar, you can see how Google have applied so many small touches that help make Google so much more easy to use.

Actually if you read “The Google Story” you’ll discover that Google offered Yahoo and Altavista to buy their search technology, but they said that search isn’t important and declined the offer.

Awesome article, I must say. Google ftw. Gotta love picking a random page from a Google search and actually looking at it!

I also agree with a lot you wrote but think that an understanding of what it is about google search results that people like is most important. Also, there is a certain amount of trust in google that they are not going to corrupt your files could also be explored

Great read.

I agree with a lot of your views, however I think that Googles success is more rooted in their understanding and taking advantage of search results. You have access to what people are searching for, you just need to deliver what they want.
