Has Google (SERPs) become Less Relevant

[~0]

Search Engines Results are becoming more relevant - with less spam - as a result of the competition to survive among Google.

Some have added new features such as: FTP, Discusssion, video/audio search etc.

Possibly, to alleviate SPAM SERPs - Google has become too emphatic about
Backlink - hypertext - keywords,
that only the largest Companies - or the best SEO'd sites are visible at the top

Besides Google - have you INCREASED your use of the following:

• Yahoo!
  MSN
  AltaVista
  AlltheWeb
  Ask Jeeves
  Meta Search Engines
  Directories

This is a biased opinion (since my site does not appear in the top 50 for Google, but is #3 for a given search term in all the rest that you list in your survey).

Listings on G for that same term include a magazine review; Yahoo's outdated directory; two outdated websites which use the old company name)

So my answer is YES - G's results appear to be less relevant.

Can you rephrase the voting question? It makes NO sense.

I have switched totally to yahoo now for searches, Google is nothing near relevant imho, I even had a customer recently who had trouble finding my company using google, the search term was Plastic Furniture covers - not a popular search term, on yahoo its on the first page. I informed her about yahoo's search results and now she plans to switch too as she was complaining about so many sites listed on google that had nothing to do with plastic furniture covers and was positioned so well, I have found much better results and much less surfing time using Yahoo.
