Finding relevant information on Google has become harder and harder to do. Lately, I’ve found the first 10 pages of any Google search to be laced with the usual culprits, often quite ‘Spammy‘ in content. I often have to browse to the 40+ page to find relevant content.

Because of this, I’ve decided to give Microsoft’s Live Search a try, and I have been pleasantly surprised.

I’ve found more relevant search results using Live Search, including better news results and over-all better content. I’ve also found its image searches to be much more comprehensive. With the aid of the ‘related links’ section off to the right side, I find that I get more relevant search results faster.

Is Google getting too fat and lazy? Are they putting the bottom line ahead of content? Or is Live Search just getting better? Whatever the case may be, it is my opinion that the time is right for new search engines to come into the scene.

Although Live Search has a long way to go before it becomes my favorite thing, I think that it is a good alternative to Google. I will keep looking for that new search engine that will change the world, but until then, I’m sticking with Live Search.

Update:

I’ve since switched back to Google as I’ve found that Live Search was going down the same road as Google had been. When It comes to making money online with Adsense there is just nothing else I can say except, It’s important to get Google traffic. If you, as a webmaster, are not going for Google Traffic then you will miss out on the Adsense income in a real big way. It’s really up to you, frankly, I”m sticking with Google.

But you may be asking, well, what’s the point of trying to get Google traffic if all my hard work gets me no results? Often, most people do not know how to properly use the search engines, like Google to their advantage, you need to learn how to get site traffic in order to make money with Adsense.

That’s it for the update, I’m back with Google, nuff said.
