Can Yahoo Get a Little Love

Yahoo has announced another Yahoo Search index update but no one seems to be talking about it. And worst of all no one seems to care.

What's a search engine to do?

Yes but when Google makes an update the internet goes crazy. Yahoo has to jump up and down and tell everyone and still they get nothing.

IMO, the big difference is that Google is more dynamic and much faster to adapt, most probably because the company are driven by young innovative people. They have fully understood

• The importance of web precense with real people like Matt Cutts talking directly to web masters.
• Cyber PR (Public Relationship).
• Web marketing. They have refined Microsofts ad strategy and brought it online (e.g. by relating updates to names like Florida, Burbon, Jagger etc --- We can only hope for a Janeth or kgun update)
• Most probably Microsoft has reached the top of the Bass Curve I am unsure about Google and Yahoo. Yhaoo as a SE may be underestimated, not least because of PR (see above).

It sounds like all the problems lye in the marketing. I'd like to see something come along to off set the affect that Google can have on your business.

It does not have to be a search engine. Social media has helped some but still can not hold a candle to Google.
