Search Engines

Simply makes a post about how MSN was the first search engine to crawl his or her blog and, in doing so, maybe the better search engine.

I've got to agree. When I ran my Daria site, the only search engine I didn't have issues with was MSN's. Both Yahoo and Google has thousands of bad links, they listed sites before my which had nothing to do with Daria, and were just a royal pain.

I went over to MarketLeap.com to compare the results for searches from the search engines for this site. Now, mind you, that Google's blog search is big on promoting using ping services and says that that's how it will pick up on the site.

Link Popularity Check:

Google: 0
Hotbot: 0
MSN: 8 (From 6 different sites)
Yahoo/ Altavista: 1 (But doesn't list it)

Search Engine Saturation

Google: 0
HotBot: 5 (Home page plus 4 articles)
MSN: 1 (Home page)
Yahoo: 0

Mind you that this is now after 2 months of blogging here. Google's blog index has three incoming links to this site but doesn't have any of the pages indexed though. Strange...

I'll take another look in a few days.
