Ranking Differences

Not sure what these means, or if it means anything. But when you do a search for 'katrina' on Google, the first result is the redcross site. While searches at both msn and yahoo for the same word, dont have the redcross site in the top 100.

Two things that come to mind are a)it really shows how incoming links are more powerful in google then either msn or yahoo and/or b)maybe google just has a fresher index and that the redcross will appear sometime in the future on msn/yahoo.

Either way it was just something odd that I thought I would mention.

Both are true IMO, but more prominent in this scenario is the latter issue where Google's index is often updated more regularly and with tens of thousadnds of websites pointing to ARC with this issue quickly propogates it to the top at Google.

Also, although Google swears that human hands do not affect their SERP - I could see good reason and cause in instances like this where it's possible ... and should happen.
