I just read somewhere that Yahoo is not considered the leading search engine anymore. It said that Yahoo has too many dead links and is too slow. Then I checked and saw that it's still the most popular site on the net.

What do you think? Do you still use Yahoo when searching for something? Or are you only using it for games and such?

Yahoo! never had their own search engine (SE) technology. They used to use Inktomi's SE, but now they use Google's. Google is my favorite SE because it actually reads every word on the page and prioritizes things well.

I haven't had that much of a problem with broken links. Broken links are caused by not updating your database often enough. If you only re-scan once every 6 months, then there will be more broken links than re-scan monthly.

Most of the people who find MarriedAdults.com with a SE either come from Yahoo! or Google.
