B2B Tip #71 - News on Google
.
Besides their new desktop utility that's coming out, here's some other info on Google from WebProNews, and from Dr. Andy Williams. I hope you find the info interesting and useful.
Interesting news from WebProNews.
Antonio Gulli of the University of Pisa (Universita di Pisa) and Alessio Signorini at the University of Iowa have completed another study of search engines.
Their current study estimates around 11.5 billion pages. That's a lot of pages, which they break down by the 'coverage' of search engines.
Google, the largest engine claims to cover 8.1 billion pages. The study says it's really 8.8 billion pages at a coverage rate of 76.2%. They were closest to their estimate of coverage area.
Yahoo ranked second, severely underestimating their owncoverage rate. Yahoo estimates coverage of 4.2 billion and were actually closer to 8 billion or a 69.3% coverage area.
MSN claimed it covered 5 billion pages, and the study showed an actual estimate of 7.1 billion or 61.9% coverage. This is their beta too. They could give Google a run in the future.
Ask Jeeves/Teoma ranked 4th, estimating 2.5 billion covered, and the study said 6.6 billion or 57.6%. The indexed web hit about 9.4 billion or 81.4%
One caveat: There are billion of pages in various systems that the search engines haven't grabbed. Search Engine Watch says some estimate over 500 billion pages.
Remember that with all SEs, relevancy is still the key to it all. All those sights are pointless if they don't give good, reliable information.
Here's the url to add yourself to Google, with some thoughts below from Dr. Andy.

From Dr. Andy:
"My advice here is to add a link from a page already in Google, andlet Google find the site for itself. Avoid hidden text or hidden links. Don't employ cloaking or sneaky redirects. Don't send automated queries to Google. Don't load pages with irrelevant words. Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains withsubstantially duplicate content. Avoid 'doorway' pages created just for search engines, or other"cookie cutter" approaches such as affiliate programs with littleor no original content."
