I have never been impressed with Google as a search engine. Recently I entered these search words into Bing & Google for comparison.
ESI-Phone Systems-Installation-Florida
From Bing I actually saw my own website on the first page along Lanecomm & Phonesol respective companies.
From Google I get massive overload and get 4 pages of results before finding an actual Florida ESI Dealer. Never did find myself, Steve or Jim's old place. :shrug:

Guess if you pay Google you get better results. Never heard of Bing but then again I lead a sheltered life.

I believe I heard that Bing will seach and pull from your area as well as bring up the most used sites. Bing is supposed to have some type of local search intelligence that Google doesn't offer. I have been trying to use both to see which I like better. So far, I find myself migrating toward Google.

I just tried it looking for my company. I get the usual list of crap and I'm nowhere to be found. At least with Google I'm there someplace. I think you are an anomaly John.

If you have a favorite charity use Goodsearch. they donate $.01 for each search and a percentage if you purchase something online through them. check it out. www.goodsearch.com. we have our amateur radio club listed. Its not a lot, but hey its free money. they pay out at the end of the year. otherwise I will use Google. Its our default search engine at work.

Tom, I used
ESI Telephone System Installation Florida
No commas or hyphens.
Maybe Rhonda is on to something with the location thing.
I tried COMSYSTEC also, Bing took me right to Hal's place. Google told me I spelled it wrong but offered it on page 1.

I'll change that next time I'm updating the site.
Most connections I have made via the www pipe is because of searchers finding Tech-Talk and then if they are ESI related they see me there.
