Mike Walsh's WSS and more - Google beats Live with WSS FAQ search

Tuesday, September 25, 2007

It's now over a week since the WSS FAQ's URL www.asaris.de/sites/walsh became wss.asaris.de/sites/walsh and site hits are still running at a fraction (40% on a good day) of what they were before the URL change so I thought I'd see what Google was giving for a simple WSS FAQ search (i.e. Typing WSS and FAQ in a simple search with no ").

Google was fine. It gave first the Collutions site (wss.collutions.com) which has had the same name for years and then the wss.asaris.de address.

So I thought I'd check www.live.com.

They still had www.asaris.de ....

So much for that. Google wins this comparison handsdown.

Actually, in anything around "search" I would expect Google to win over Microsoft by miles - not? After all, Google is still Google ;-)

Naturally I agree with the comment, although I do wonder if Google - by getting into so many things other than search - is running the risk of taking their mind off the ball.
