I love google for all its done for webmasters and the simple homepage, but as a searcher, lately I have found nothing but spam and its of the weird primitive variety. Something happened with the results about two months ago and its just not been the same. I've been using AV and msn lately, and I like the results much better. AV in particular shows all backlinks and they show me what I'm looking for on the first or second listing. As a webmaster, the traffic from these search engines has been growing lately and it is a high quality high converting traffic. It will be interesting when yahoo finally switches to ink.

No matter what google does, I still will always have a lot of respect for them. They are a great company. I guess they are trying perhaps too hard to stamp out spam. As far as my own searches go, I prefer AV then MSN.
