The overlap between Google and Yahoo! results is less than you might think

There’s a brand new meta search engine on the block called Jux2. Its premise is to find the overlap between the top 10 results across two major search engines. So far I’m really impressed with it. It even has a toolbar for Mozilla FireFox.

Jux2 conducted some tests to determine just how much overlap there is in the top search results on Google versus Yahoo! The results of their tests are very interesting. Such as:

For me, Jux2’s findings were a good reminder that the algorithms of the major search engines are markedly different, more so than one might imagine. So a metasearch engine that compares and contrasts two partially overlapping sets of search results makes a lot of sense. I think I’ll try Jux2 for a while and report back on my experiences.

Yahoo! is blogging

Yahoo! now has a corporate blog, Yahoo! Search Blog. I’ve been a fan of an unofficial Yahoo blog, namely that of Yahoo employee Jeremy Zawodny, for a while now. But it’s good to see the company embracing blogging in an official capacity.

Caveat Emptor (Bidder Beware) – Google AdWords contextual ads gone wrong

Google’s contextual advertising technology that they picked up with the Applied Semantics acquisition isn’t flawless. It’s not always in the best light that your brand gets displayed within sites subscribing to the Google AdSense program. Take for instance the case where a web page featuring a story about a hacked up body in a suitcase displays a Google AdWords ad for luggage, as described in this Fast Company article. Or the also embarrassing but less gruesome example I came across on Robin Good’s website recently, as shown below:

Etail Search Engine Optimization Awards… That was bizarre

Attending the Etail Awards dinner tonight at the Etail Conference in Fort Lauderdale, I was surprised to hear that Land’s End won in the search engine optimization category. Not because they didn’t deserve an award. They certainly do; they’re a great company and a true innovator in the online space, but because the award was based around their great internal search engine. Yes, you heard me right: an SEO award was granted for work done on internal search rather than external search. Kinda bizarre. Hopefully they’ll rectify this next year and break out internal search into its own separate Awards category.
