It looks like you've come across different data centres.\n\nIf you have a look at the two links below you will see a slight difference in the number of results returned.\n\nThe first link is the new google (Big Daddy), and the second just a data centre picked at random. Whenever you hit google, you will have landed on one of theses IP addressses (there are over 40 data centres, each with a separate IP address).\n\nDepending on how quickly the information trickles down from the search engine spiders to the data centres  will depend on how out of kilter 2 searches may be.

I just tried the same search and got very different results.  I suggest that you have an internal bias. or a bone to pick.

When I asked a similar question 2 weeks ago , someone turned me on to http://www.stumbleupon.com/ . Its not one site but rather pulls up a variety of sites based on your preference . I am amazed how much is out there that I would never have found ! I use the Firefox browser with the stumble as an extension on the toolbar . Bored ? I just stumble upon something .

It sounds like your ads may have keywords that are too general or a landing page that is not 'optimised' enough. This is Google's so-called 'quality control' and has affected lots of site owners for several months.

It has to be in the quality of the results that are coming up in the page. Both Google and Yahoo are very similar now in terms of their results so I tend to use both. Yahoo has some great features on their next.yahoo.com page so I think if some of these were widly available I would be more inclined to stick with them. \n\nI really liked that slider bar that allows you to move from Shopping results to Research results!\nMindest they have called it:\nhttp://mindset.research.yahoo.com/

I prefer using Google as a search engine. Try using simple two or three word entries into the search bar that are specific to what you are looking for. For example, try typing in, "advertising television," "television advertising," "commercials media," advertisement media," and so on until you get the "hits" you are looking for. Over time and with practice, you will be able to search faster and more accurately. Good luck.

Check this article out\n\nhttp://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=34397\n\nConsider creating and submitting a detailed site map of your pages using Google Sitemaps. Google Sitemaps is an easy way for you to submit all your URLs to the Google index and get detailed reports about the visibility of your pages on Google. With Google Sitemaps, you can automatically keep us informed of all of your current pages and of any updates you make to those pages. Please note that submitting a Sitemap doesn't guarantee that all pages of your site will be crawled or included in our search results.\n\nWhat is your website anyway?

My dear friend, search engine hits don't come overnight. It takes a lot of time for a website to feature on great seach engines like Yahoo and Google. I own a website that I created at about the end of January this year, and only last week I found it listed at number 29 only after all my keywords have been searched for at once! You have to be patient!\n\nWhen search engines build their powerful databases, they perform what is called indexing. This is done by special software called "bots". They start at the most popular sites on the net, and then follow every possible link on those pages, then all the next possible links, etc. They spider almost the whole web like this.\n\nFor those reasons, Yahoo might not know about you if you don't have a listed website that is linking to you. I would suggest you go and surf for other websites of your kind and add your page to their list of links. (Search engines also judge the popularity of your site by how many other sites are linking to you.)\n\nWhile you are waiting, there are some things you can do to make your website feature quicker. I don't know how familiar you are with HTML meta tags and the search-engine friendliness of your page, but I'll explain it anyway.\n\nMeta tags is ordinary HTML tags that you place inside your website code. They serve the primary purpose of giving information about your website. Some of them give the keywords that you would like your site to be searched for, others provide a short description of your site which will be shown on your listing if you feature on Yahoo. There are countless other meta tags which I have yet to explore, but they make your site a great deal more search-engine friendly.\n\nI have some really good software that helps me make my site more search-engine friendly. It is easy-to-use and completely virus-free (trust me). Best of all, it is free! It contains a complete explanation of meta tags, and also provides tips on selecting the right keywords for your page. It also has a feature that can check your pages for any errors or other things that would make search engines not like you. You can obtain it at http://www.webceo.com/\n\nHope my advice helped...

I think there is more to the story than what we see here. I don't think the government cares what the most popular searches are, but rather they care about who is actually doing the searching. The site you link to in your update has a note, which states, "that in compiling the Zeitgeist, no individual searcher's information is available or accessible to us. What you see here is a cumulative snapshot of interesting queries people are asking – some over time, some within country domains, and some on Google.com – that perhaps reveal a bit of the human condition."\n\nIf Google doesn't have the individual's information, they can hardly give it to the government, and they are not invading anyone's privacy.

Metatags and keywords are hardly used by search engines these days to index/find sites for listings.  There might be a couple small ones, but for the most part, that's old school.  I personally wouldn't make the effort...

Here is a search website which combines all the popular ones into one search.  I used it.  It is great.  www.dogpile.com

Maybe you clicked on "Search Web" by mistake on your Yahoo! Toolbar.  Try typing the address again and see what happens.

I have found many sites that I've registered with by doing a search for my email address / name in a search engine.\n\nFor example, in Yahoo or Google search engine I type, with quotes "xmarine2847" or "xmarine2847@yahoo.com"\n\nMost likely, it will not find all of the sites you've registered with, but many I have found were ones I had completely forgotten about.

#1 Google http://www.google.com - Fast, usually gives the most accurate results to what I'm searching for.\n\n#2 Yahoo http://search.yahoo.com - Also fast, second best in results.  Sometimes gives me better answers.\n\nHint, if you go to that link for Yahoo Search, you don't have all the other garbage on screen.\n\nActually both engines have almost identical advanced search options, and are both very powerful.  It's more an issue of how you format you inquiries as to how accurate the search results are.
