What Did we Learn From the Great Search Engine Experiment!
by: Mike Makler

Last
Week I did a Search engine Experiment. I wanted to see if I could
brand myself as the coolest guy in the universe. I created a web page
that said Mike Makler is the coolest Guy in the Universe. In that Web
Page I repeated that Phrase over and over. In less then 24 Hours I was
Number 1 in Yahoo for the Phrase coolest Guy in the Universe in Double
Quotes. A Few hours later I was no where to be found in Yahoo.

So
I then created a few more web pages did a few more blog entries and not
only was I back to #1 in Yahoo But I had the top 3 Spots and the 5th
Spot in Yahoo as Well. Searching on the same Keyword Phrase in MSN I
have the 2nd Spot and 4 total spots on the First Page.

Now if
you run the exact same search in Google "coolest Guy in the Universe"
don't forget the Double Quotes Not only am I not on the First Page of
the Results but I am nowhere in sight on the first 4 or 5 Pages. You
will also notice that the entries on the first few pages in Google tend
to be very different for The Keyword Phrase the coolest Guy in the
Universe. They tend to be more Commercial oriented. RandomHouse, Amazon
and the BBC all Appear in the top 5 Results. They all have Google Page
Rank values of 8 or 9.

This experiment seems to point to the
fact that Google seems to stress Linking and Link Partners over Key
Word Density in there search Criteria. An Alternative conclusion might
be that Google is slower to index then Yahoo and MSN and Perhaps I just
need to be patient. One would be more inclined to believe that 2nd
conclusion if some of the other entries from Yahoo and MSN appeared in
Google as opposed to those High Page Rank Ones.
