    Depends upon who is evaluating it. If you have keyword.com then is Bing better for your SEO purposes?

    By the way, take this with a grain of salt - I believe I understand Google SEO but I know I don't understand Bing SEO at all.

    Google is the best currently. Now if you would have asked this question in the late 90s the answer would have been Yahoo. Things can change and a worthy competitor could come in the future. But for the foreseeable future it will be Google.

    Ask yourself this. Which search engine do you use most of the time? Google definitely gets my searches and clicks. Before Google, Yahoo was clearly the favorite. I'm not exactly sure what happened to Yahoo, but it shows how nothing lasts forever. Who knows which search engine will dominate 10 years from now.

      I definitely agree that Google is amazing but I have also developed an appreciation for Buzzdock. This is a realtime search engine and it has shown to be very useful. It scans several social media sites and brings up quick and accurate up to date results so I would definitely suggest taking a look at it. You can also use it on Google to refine your search so it makes things even better.

      If it is the "best" then nobody would be using Yahoo! Bing or other search engine.

        I think that Google delivers the best results so far and are very familiar with using it. Hopefully the yahoo bing combination will succeed and be a real competitor to big G soon. I think all IMers will benefit from that situation.

    Yes Google is known and very popular because of its simplicity and accuracy. While other sites focused on content and other services, Google built an almost fool proof massive system of web crawlers to execute fast, effective, and accurate searches of the internet.

    Funny guy. Google is the best because most people use it. If you optimize your website well then it will rank in Google which means more visitors which means more $.

    Best in what way, and from whose perspective?

    It's all subjective, isn't it.

    Google commands just about the highest number of searches for most keyword phrases, by many many times. So from a website owner's perspective, Google is likely "the best" - at least as far as its potential to send them the most traffic and/or contribute the most to their income.

    However, that probably doesn't ring so true if they're ranked poorly in Google, and much better in Yahoo or other search-engines.

    There's too many factors to take into consideration and too many perspectives from which to look and attempt to form a "blanket" decision about what is best. And people are entitled to their own opinions, anyway ... so who would I or anyone else be to speak for everyone else by saying "which is best"?

    EDIT: I make more money from Google (both due to getting the most traffic from them, and because I use Google AdSense). So to me, they're the best.

    I also find them easier and more pleasurable to use from an end-user perspective. Nicer, cleaner website, and more relevant search results in most cases.

    In my opinion, Google is the bets search engines for both searchers and webmasters. People who are searching in Google get the best results and webmasters get the most traffic from Google. Its the best.

  • Really a subjective question, Google is probably the best though because it is the most popular. I can't imagine using any other search engine, I've used Google since the early 2000's.

    In terms of query volume, Google enjoys a whooping 85.35% share. Yahoo! garners a token 6.15% while Bing/MSN has an even lower 3.16%. Clearly Google remains the market leader; which is why online searches have become synonymous with a Google search. People now even say "Google it"-- to mean conduct a web search for something. With its overwhelming popularity and irrefutable market leadership, effectiveness and ease of use, the Google Search engine is the clear choice of the majority of web users worldwide. The question, "Is Google Still the Best Search Engine?" therefore has an easy answer. Yes-- it still (undeniably) is.

    Google is so dominant largely due to its mission in life of indexing every page of content in the world. And Google is well on its way to accomplishing that goal.

      yes of course. Google is the best. But it does not mean the rest search engines have less importance. They are also best.

      They only show you results what you search for. Rest is on you. I mean if i searching for a specific services to order i will get several options from google, bing, msn, etc. But you have to choose which website you are going to place the order.

    For me google remains the most popular search engine, the favorite among both users and professional reviewers for its speed and ease of use. Expert reviews give google high scores for its disclosure practices, which make it easy to distinguish paid ads from real results. Google also earns high marks for its maps and searches for images, videos and blog posts; you can even search inside books with book search. That's why for me google remains number 1.

    Being Google dominates 70% of the market the figures speak for themselves. Other than that I think the Chinese may argue Baidu is the best, but unless you either speak Chinese or use Chinese search engines then Google hands down.

    No, I always preferred Yahoo. I didn't even start using Google until I started reading this forum. It was ok, but not great. Now Google is beyond bad since Penguin so I'm back to Yahoo. Google gives me articles, blog posts and forum threads from 2005!
