Google, yes it is a word that everyone today knows: almost 99% of the internet
surfers if not 100%, and today it is a habit for everyone when they sit
behind their computer and logon to the net to type www.google.com in their
browser, because and especially for beginners Google is the only place for
them to find what they want (didn’t get any statistics just describing what
I see). But in fact there are thousand of search engines, other than the 3
major ones Google, Yahoo & MSN, and many are older than those new leaders
the blue, red, yellow, green.

Why Google? Or Google It.

One of the main reasons is the famous simple page with their logo and search
box. Second, because of the results that most of the users believe are
the best, but in fact there are a lot of crappy sites top listed on that
search engine but few know that, so I am telling you. Third, for me
no one can beat Google!!!!

Today, Google is leading the web with its search algorithm. One day after the
other it is hard to have your site listed in that search engine, and being
top listed, but still for many jerks over the net, they have their tricks to
beat up any algorithm made by Google or others.

Back in time, many search engines were created, and most of them were bought
by big names like Yahoo! And those who are still surviving for their names,
waiting for someone to dig up their search boxes. What Google did, was just
give a search page for those who are willing to search, but in their minds
if you read the company overview you will see this “Google’s mission is to
organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and
useful.” They were very professional and gained trust of their targeted
visitors which made them the world search engine leader today.
Google has many services, but if you go to their main page you wont
find more than their logo and the search box. Their services are almost
ruling the world, such as the image search, video search, book search, news,
froogle, maps, Google Earth, Adsense, Adwords, Webmaster tools, etc. I will
have a special post for each of Google services in future posts, of this
serie.

Lets hope that this was a more than overall intro about the Giant who is
trying to organize the world’s information, because as I believe their
mission is more than this only, they were made to break up some other Giant!
