If you type "Search Engine" into Google - Google.com is #4! | Warrior Forum - The #1 Digital Marketing Forum & Marketplace

My guess is that Google doesn't think it's too important to hold the top rank on their own search engine for those key terms -- you're already using it after all

Perhaps someone should offer them a WSO on how to rank at number one in Google :p

Just my thoughts,

Jeff.

We have almost the same results, mate. I am in the Philippines.

Well, maybe because Google thinks that people will just type in Google.com directly in browsers' address bar.

Because Google is the best, unlike Bing, and they want you to get the best search results

Bing is greedy and doesn't want you to use Google, so when you search for "search engine" on bing you won't find Google there either.

They don't need to be anymore.

People don't even say search the internet anymore - its Google this, or Google that, or use Google. I expect their SEO guys could probably take a nice long holiday until they are needed again!

Gee, Google isn't number one?

Perhaps they should build some really high quality content, then hope people link to them in order to rank higher???

Thanks

If I'm google, I don't give a s*** about pea like this.. I know I'm the main search-engine, and I know that you're using me.. that's all I care about + making sure the search-engine is always running well..

God bless,
Jeremiah

Well at least they're unbiased in search results with regards to their own ranking. But it really doesn't affect them much, since you are already using google to search- so no big deal to them.
