Do all internet search engine's have different rules?

Are all search engines the same?

There are only four major search engines in existence (Yahoo, Google, Ask and Msn) that have different "rules" or algorithms that are constantly updated in order to deliver relevant results to people who search through them. The other search engines simply use the major fours data or amalgamate it and rebrand it. The algorithms that search engines use in order to determine which pages it displays for a particular search are obviously highly secure as knowledge of these algorithms would mean that commercial sites could exploit the weaknesses and unfairly tip the balance in their favour. The gold standard iof any search engine is to deliver relevant results for searches and they tend to focus on the age of a site, the amount of links to that site, the amount and quality of content on the site etc. To find out more about search engines, you can visit www.icebluemd.co.uk/seo.html
