Getting sick of Google? Me too.

This is just amazing.. MSN Search is honestly giving me much more relevant results than Google or Yahoo. Too bad you have to bust your ass and type "search.msn.com" instead of something catchy and ridiculously impossible to forget, like, google...

Who cares if Google is "Do no evil" while Microsoft is monopoly central? Google is pissing me off lately and I'll just keep using MSN search as long as what I search for and the results I see are consistent..

Oh, so, you actually want an example? Well OK, Search Google for Bradenton Web Design - plain, no quotes, like an average Joe Businessowner-who-needs-a-website would do. Take a look at the results, notice at least the last four results have nothing to do with Bradenton Web Design other than meaningless keywords.

However, look at the legitimate sites that have raked #1-6 - See how much spam they shove in their meta keywords, descriptions, and title tags?

Ok, now, here's the REALLY INSANE part of my rant.. Go do the very same search on MSN Search. C'mon, I dare you.

Notice the results, they are all at least legitimate companies in the immediate market area, and you'll even see a couple you didn't see on Google.. like, hey, wait a minute.. JL Web Development ! How'd that happen? I didn't put "web design web design web design web site design tampa sarasota bradenton florida, florida" in my title tag! I didn't endlessly repeat words like "Bradenton" every 3 words, is MSN Search actually a viable contender to the search engine throne? I think so.

I have conducted other search queries, and in general, Google is becoming spam clogged and irrelevant.. If MS can keep their search engine clean, and put worthless tag spammers in their place, they can certainly become #1.

I have not had one incident where I couldn't find what I was looking for on MSN Search.

I hate Microsoft, but they deserve a big damn round of applause for finally making something that doesnt suck hard.

I also do not care whether Google falls off planet Earth, honestly.. they're not cool to me, and I don't get all jollied up when they get mentioned in the news.

Yahoo? I just don't care for yahoo that much. I use my Yahoo mail every month or so, and that's it. Their results are better, in a sense, at least on Yahoo I don't have to see the blatant spam sites on the first page of results, but the sites that have made it have done so with tag spam.

If this were a truly free nation, I could hire assassins to snipe all of these web designers who are guilty of fraudulently inflating their search rankings with tag spam. What's the matter? Don't have any real content on your web site? Tough luck. Learn your craft or find a new job.
