Search
Engine News
For 2006, we
now have three viable search
engines with their own
independent algorithms and
advertising. Google
still leads in overall
volume of searches, followed
by Yahoo and MSN. MSN is the
new kid on the block and
with the strength of
Microsoft behind it, will
continue to improve and be a
contender in search.
Google continues to release
products to help diversify
from search but their core
strength and income still
remains in search
advertising. Yahoo
continues to have a strong
portal with related
shopping, news, finance, and
groups.
