Yahoo!

* been in the search game for many years.
* is better than MSN but nowhere near as good as Google at determining if a link is a natural citation or not.
* has a ton of internal content and a paid inclusion program. both of which give them incentive to bias search results toward commercial results
* things like cheesy off topic reciprocal links still work great in Yahoo!

MSN Search

* new to the search game
* is bad at determining if a link is natural or artificial in nature
* due to sucking at link analysis they place too much weight on the page content
* their poor relevancy algorithms cause a heavy bias toward commercial results
* likes bursty recent links
* new sites that are generally untrusted in other systems can rank quickly in MSN Search
* things like cheesy off topic reciprocal links still work great in MSN Search

Google

* has been in the search game a long time, and saw the web graph when it is much cleaner than the current web graph
* is much better than the other engines at determining if a link is a true editorial citation or an artificial link
* looks for natural link growth over time
* heavily biases search results toward informational resources
* trusts old sites way too much
* a page on a site or subdomain of a site with significant age or link related trust can rank much better than it should, even with no external citations
* they have aggressive duplicate content filters that filter out many pages with similar content
* if a page is obviously focused on a term they may filter the document out for that term. on page variation and link anchor text variation are important. a page with a single reference or a few references of a modifier will frequently outrank pages that are heavily focused on a search phrase containing that modifier
* crawl depth determined not only by link quantity, but also link quality. Excessive low quality links may make your site less likely to be crawled deep or even included in the index.
* things like cheesy off topic reciprocal links are generally ineffective in Google when you consider the associated opportunity cost

Hello friend,
Google is the best search engine than Yahoo and MSN. It has lots of parameters that make it major search engine such as Page Rank. Even though Yahoo is good in Back links.

Thanks
Franky

Are you giving their comparison?

Well, all I care is I focused in Google.

Wow, that's really cool info thanks for sharing this to us dude.

Hi.
I was knowing about yahoo, google, and MSN but here I get something different.

Good job on pointing out descriptions of this major search engines. They are all both actually good but Google leads because of the important services and applications they've done all are very trendy, user-friendly please fast and easy to use.

yahoo is pretty good at crawling sites so long as they have sufficient link popularity to get all their pages indexed.

Google is still the best, because of its algorithm and popularity.

Hi ,
I think we can't compare three of them which each other ....Google is widely known as we all know but Yahoo and MSN are also good...

they are all good SE's but Google in number 1 for me because of its results on my sites

Good list of comparison! Google is way better than any other search engines. It offers tons of helpful tools to both users and webmasters.

Google is much better , if compared to other search engines. you have listed point wise discription very well.

google no.1 for me

But for me Google cannot compare to other search engines because they are the biggest search engine in the world wide web.

These Big 3 search engines are not comparable to each other because they have their features and tools that really helps in SEO. I love these three search engines. Nothing to say that Google is the best nor Yahoo and MSN. Because these three are the best.
