Google vs Yahoo

Yesterday I decided that it was time for some ego-surfing and hence searched for my name on both Google and Yahoo, to see some really interesting results.

1. Yahoo gives just 3 pages whereas Google turns up 7 pages.

2. Yahoo shows this blog as the first result and Google does not show this blog link on any of the 7 pages; somewhere on the 5th page google throws up sripathikamath.wordpress.com, with a missing 's'

3. All except one (theres one by some b sripathi kamath) of the yahoo results are pointing to my activites on the net whereas on Google, half the results on page 2 do not have the term "Sripathi Kamath". Except one, no other result from page 3-7 on Google has anything to do with me.

One more point that came to my notice is that, Google does point to a couple of my posts which I had written in the early days of this blog before this blog became inactive in December last year. But none of the recent new posts of the Madikeri Trip turns up in the search results, whereas a search for the term – madikeri trip – on yahoo, points to this blog on page 1. Wonder whether google stops crawling a webpage once it finds it inactive for a long time?

Update: Google results have totally changed. Now this blog is listed first, there are only two pages of results and all but the last one is about my activities. The last one of course is sripathikamath.wordpress.com.
