I was wonder today about how many web pages I actually had. I thought search engines might be a good idea. Although I actually have more than they index it would at least be some kind of helpful pointer. I searched Google, Yahoo and MSN for "Worfolk Online" which I used as the majority of my pages have a copyright notice saying this at the bottom.
The results of the test won’t be totally accurate for several reasons though. Firstly not all of my sites say that at the bottom and secondly because search engines are not going to index all the pages on a site due to the sheer volume. As for results relevance MSN storms it again with the most relevant links followed by Yahoo and Google coming in a lowly third.
MSN are really kicking ass with this relevance thing. The top result was Worfolk Online as it should be. This was followed by Worfolk Corp, Worfolk News, Worfolk Creative, Worfolk Music and Worfolk Pictures. Yahoo had a similar line up – Worfolk Online, AdTech (Worfolk Online ad technology), Worfolk Corp and Worfolk Pictures and Worfolk Music being lower down.
Google’s lineup consisted of Worfolk Corp, The Gurkin, Evil Genius Magazine, the list goes on. Worfolk Pictures was on page 2, Worfolk Music on page 3 and Worfolk Creative on page 4. The actual Worfolk Online site was nowhere to be found!
Anyway results of the test. MSN found a total of 6 thousand results, Google managed 27 thousand and Yahoo indexed the most with 47 thousand. I don’t think the Yahoo figure is that far off the actual figure. Well it probably is but it’s getting there ;).
