What happen when Google’s becoming number 1?
According to NetRating in 2006, Google has a market share of 49.2%, follows by Yahoo and Live MSN search. One year later, the number has increased to 53.6% (wikipedir, 2007). If the trend continues, will Google take up the whole search engine market? Will google becomes a monopoly in this area?
Recently I’ve noticed that many of the sites in the khmer web directory have dropped in PR ranking (PageRank system). One PR6 site (http://www.cambodiaxp.com) has dropped from PR6 to just PR4, while the khmerbest.com itself has dropped from PR5 to PR4. I thought that was just a glitch but it is in fact a reality after I found a report on the age, Australia that asserts that Google has changed their search algorithm.
The impact of the changes in Algorithm sometimes lead many great sites in the deep pile of search result. Some sites lose their reputation due to their dropped PR ranking, especially in the Search Engine and Webmaster related site.
Yes I agree to certain extends that Google has been the best search engine that deliver relevant results to my search. However, to let it be the only Search Engine in the market, it might not be the best outcome.
What do you think?
