CONTROVERSY OF THE WEEK -- Does Size Really Matter? Google vs Yahoo

An interesting thread on the relevance of search engine size vis a vis Yahoo vs Google which John Battelle is insightfully “refereeing”  on his excellent SearchBlog.  I recommend reading these posts in chronologic order — but you can also cut to the chase if you read in reverse chronologic order (as I generally do).

  1. Yahoo! Search blog: Our Blog is Growing Up And So Has Our Index
  2. John Battelle's Searchblog: How Many Pages Does Yahoo Index?
  3. John Battelle's Searchblog: In This Battle, Size Does Matter: Google Responds to Yahoo Index Claims
  4. John Battelle's Searchblog: More On Yahoo, Google, Index, Size

 

John Battelle’s Searchblog is also MY FIND OF THE WEEK —

(not that he needed to be found — his site is a top trafficked site — it was just new to me.)

Also, in the course of this debate, John also provides us with THE RULE OF THE WEEK —

 "No one ever got rich overestimating the public's taste for nuance."  

BTW, I have a follow-on to this post: Sacred Cow Dung: Isn't Smaller Just Better? More on this Stupid "Search Engine Index Size" Debate
