do you ever use Yahoo! to search for anything? - GoFuckYourself.com

Zester · 05-19-2005, 12:31 AM

if so what do you search on Yahoo! that you can't find on google?

Jace · 05-19-2005, 01:08 AM

i use it to search for my own shit, that is all

Doctor Dre · 05-19-2005, 01:11 AM

I search on google, when results are no good, I use yahoo

SmutGiant · 05-19-2005, 01:41 AM

I just recently set my homepage to Yahoo. They've been sending me some nice traffic, so I figured they earned it for a while

ADL Colin · 05-19-2005, 02:07 AM

... maps.

Babagirls · 05-19-2005, 02:08 AM

as shocking as this may seem, i rarely use google, i love yahoo.

CDSmith · 05-19-2005, 02:12 AM

Yahoo here. My reasons are my own.

polish_aristocrat · 05-19-2005, 02:27 AM

I only use Google

BabeHunter · 05-19-2005, 03:08 AM

nope

only google

Kirsten · 05-19-2005, 03:10 AM

i like google.

yahoo doesn't seem to have as good a result for if i am looking for information on something.

Vitasoy · 05-19-2005, 03:37 AM

Nah... I only use google now.

EviLGuY · 05-19-2005, 04:16 AM

I pretty much only use google here too.

Michael O · 05-19-2005, 04:19 AM

I only use google.

Tipsy · 05-19-2005, 04:21 AM

MSN, Google, Yahoo in that order although Google may end up in last place soon.

Google's over zealousness with spam means the results are often shit now. Whatever you believe about the 'sandbox' the fact is many, many new sites don't make good placings for a very long time and that fucks Google up. Quite often the stuff I want will be on a newer site. If it's an established site chances are I'll have a bookmark anyway or know the URL and just go straight there so wouldn't need Google in the first place.

gecko · 05-19-2005, 04:22 AM

nico-t · 05-19-2005, 04:35 AM

Zester · 05-19-2005, 06:00 AM

my opinon=yahoo is shit when it comes to finding something

Sarah_Jayne · 05-19-2005, 06:08 AM

I don't like goole as much as yahoo

Violetta · 05-19-2005, 06:38 AM

I have an yahoo mail account, but thats it!

MandyBlake · 05-19-2005, 07:47 AM

the only time i really use it is when i'm checking where my site ranks.

Adult-biz · 05-19-2005, 08:31 AM

Yahoo is decent enough for searches also. I use Google + Yahoo most of the time for checking sites but never normally search using any of the other directories / engines.

It`s a wonder how most of the others survive.

Just pulled this off about.com which probably demonstrates how difficult it is to compete in this field (probably a little old because of the indexed numbers showing but the last sentence obviously highlights again the sheer dominance of Google):

"Google is by far the most used search engine. It provides search results not only on it's home page, but powers other search engines' results as well. Google claims to have indexed over 3 billion pages, but in reality, that number is probably too small. More than 300 million searches a day filter through Google's fingertips"

khs · 05-19-2005, 08:39 AM

google is a spamfest shit hole

swedguy · 05-19-2005, 08:44 AM

Only time I use Yahoo Search is when I look through the serps to see where I'm at

sickkittens · 05-19-2005, 08:58 AM

I use Google 99% of the time.

mkx · 05-19-2005, 10:01 AM

I dont like google because they dont give my sites good rankings like yahoo and MSN (mmm msn rankings) do. I use them only when needed. I find yahoo much better for product searches.

Gator · 05-19-2005, 10:12 AM

I've always preferred Yahoo over Google. Google always seems to return spammy results no matter what you search for.

Lifer · 05-19-2005, 10:15 AM

Sure I do.
