There is no comparison, and here's proof. Google hits my website basically every couple of seconds. At this rate, Google will crawl my site in total a few times a year, since we have millions of pages.
Bing, Yahoo, and all the rest only visit a few times a day. At this rate, they will spider my site completely....ummmm... never.
- mikeryan 17y agoIf I had to guess, this is largely a scaling issue which Google has dealt with admirably. I doubt bing has anywhere near the capacity (yet) to do the level of indexing as well as google. If it catches on I'd expect the visits to increase.
- josefresco 17y agoIt's not the quantity, it's the quality that matters. Google has stated this publicly and while it's impressive they're indexing your site every few seconds, that might not be a good thing, or the 'right' thing for a search engine to be doing. I could care less which search engine has the farthest reach (with few exceptions). What I (and most users I would suspect) really want is the best set of results that fulfill my query.
