Why is Google better at answering questions?

Answer 1

Google could be said to be the best search engine for the following reasons:

• It relies on a simplicity that many other search engines lack.
• It's fast, reliable, easy to use, user friendly.
• Fewer, less noticeable ads.
• The search algorithm seems to bring the most relevant items to the top.
• More relevant ads.

Why is Google the best search engine from a marketing perspective?

• More people use Google than any other search engine in the world, giving Google the information to improve their engine further.
• it has the largest known database of metadata for searching and search criteria.
• Referrals from Google have higher conversion rate then any other search engine.

Google Search can be customized, eg:

• google.com (regular)
• isearchpink.com (pink google)
• purpoogle.com (purple google)
• googlemyway.com
• namegoogle.com

How Google works:

Basically, Google is a crawler-based engine, meaning that it has software programs designed to "crawl" the information on the Net and add it to its sizeable database. Google has a great reputation for relevant and thorough search results, and is a good first place to start when searching.

Google's home page is extremely clean and simple, loads quickly, and delivers arguably the best results of any search engine out there, mostly due to its PageRank technology and massive listings. Google also earns high marks for its maps and searches for images, videos and blog posts; you can even search inside books with Book Search. However, search experts say that no single search engine provides the most relevant results for all queries. Google is also ranked number one because more people use it than any other search engine.

Part of the reason google is so successful is, as with most successful technology companies, they first started specializing in one area and after mastering that they moved onto other things. Not dabbling in other areas such as email, maps, finance allowed them to concentrate all their time and resources on just searching the vast world wide web.

Answer 2

It probably is because it has more resources - more resources mean better research, and better research means more people go there first, that means more resources etc.

or seen from the other side, Jeeves isn't much cop, so not many people use it, hence fewer resources and no chance of getting any better.

Answer 3

I don't know that Google is better than Answers.com. These two websites serve separate purposes in the bigger pictures. Besides - that is comparing 'apples to Oranges'. Answers is a site which Google serves to the internet.

Answer 4

Google has been around longer, so has a larger database of links. It is also more well-maintained and established than Ask.

Answer 5

Because google has search engines attached to its own search engine so it can give you questions that are asked on the search engine ask! And ask is crap

Answer 6

As per my view both are different things. Wiki ask is only for question and answer but Google is a search engine where you find many information including question and answer.

Answer 7

It's never failed me, after I asked Google I verify ,Google is always right I love it

Answer 8

Google is better at everything
