Now that Yahoo has dumped Google for searching capabilities I thought I would try searching for my name to see where I show up. On Google I have the number one position and two more links on the page out of ten possible first-page results. On Yahoo I have the top six results on the page and five more out of the rest of the results.
On Google I have 3/10 on the first page with one top result. On Yahoo I have 11/20 (7/10 to compare with Google) with the 6 top results. Three of these top results are from blogshares and are all essentially the same and irrelevant.
I have to question these results. Although all bloggers seem to love being number one for their name in search engines, this is just ridiculous. There are other Jeff Humes in the world, including an Olympic Skier. I do not deserve to have the six top results on Yahoo, especially when all but the first and maybe the third are useless. I like the ego-boosting factor, but clearly there is something wrong with these search results and the algorithim needs some tinkering.
I hope I deserve to be the number one Jeff Hume on the Internet due to links to my site, but there is no reason I should have a clear majority of the top results.
hume rocks the internet! he is a cyber guru!
