Pages from India - Google Vs Yahoo

June 5, 2008 at 2:38 pm · Posted On Me MySelf, Technology, Beyond Me · · Comments

There is an option of Pages from India in both the search engines Yahoo and Google. There is a basic flaw in the way yahoo displays the results for this option. I have my blog hosted with skynet hosing an US hosting company. But I am also looking at changing my service provider to India Hosting. I often use to check where my blog stands for a check on google and Yahoo for wrods like ranjith,ranjith kumar,etc., Good to see that my site comes third on Google

I used to write about India and the surroundings of Tamil Nadu on my travel and other stuffs. I thought of searching with the pages from India options.

Yahoo treats Pages hosted in India are only the pages from India. On the contrary, Google lists my page at the same place as all the previous entries of mine holds thoughts and writings about India in spite of the hosted province.

That is good right, a page having information about India is a page from India. It seems Yahoo has taken the English meaning of the phrase while Google has taken the contextual meaning and implemented what people exactly need.

These are the small things that makes Google go big on the Search Market.

Cheers - Ranjith
