Why I No Longer Find Google A Viable Search Engine And What Is The Alternative

Why I No Longer Find Google A Viable Search Engine 90% of the time. And What Is A Viable Alternative.  I have noticed this along time ago but gave it a miss thinking they would get a grip especially being such a huge search engine with such great technology.  But I am sorry too say it Google search has pissed me off to much to keep it a secret any longer.  It is easy to see why Google is losing it’s place  . And it’s not just me that can see this, I am sure if you are a local business owner and put up a page and get some stupid fast food directory or yell.com You will feel the same way.

One thing that Google seems to forget is the people choosing Googe is what made it so popular. And what will be it’s  demise as it is bound to be pissing people off. People gave Google their power in the first place. Providing accurate search engine information and relevant content.  To me Google is now more of a corporate advertising directory than a search engine.  So if you are Amazon,Ebay,Yell,Gumtree Etc you will be happy but if you are

On Bing it is position 1 where it should be yes Bing is still a search engine, For some reason even if Google is messed up as a search engine You Tube Still works strange considering they are the same company..  I have noticed this for all search results Google became popular because of supplying relevant content .

No longer will you get someones relevant content ordinary website when you google stuff instead you get absolute trash results like other businesses,takeaways,directories and what you are looking for is nowhere to be found..

A while ago I spoke to a friend of mine they went to Greece and they were looking a local shop in a town in greece they where visiting  of course when they googled the exact shop name and town..  They got thomson holidays amazon,ebay all the usual crap …  Hey I know these are popular websites and guess why? But when you are looking for Horiatiki salad in Rafina you do not want to visit Amazon or a directory advertising pizza hut . Or do you?

I can tell you I certainly don’t and from now on for my searches I am going to start using Bing until google decided to get their shit together. As I as a webmaster am pissed off with people not finding my relevant content.. And I am even more pissed off why I cannot find other websites relevant content and I have to see corporate trash websites..

Because Amazon and Ebay are great when you want to buy or sell something but next time you want to find a dentist in your home village use Bing instead 🙂
