Google Ranks Itself 6th In Its Own Search Engine

What chance do we have!

[MikeBeverley]

It's common practice to check out your competitor's web sites to see what they are doing to rank above you.

Currently I'm working on a search engine so searched for 'search engine' in Google and got these results:

[google.com...]

1. Altavista
2. Lycos
3. Searchenginewatch
4. Dogpile
5. MyExcite
6. Google
7. Yahoo
8. Search
9. Alltheweb
10. Metacrawler

At least they managed to beat Yahoo, eh? These results shed a bit of light on the dramatic changes in algorithm and the severe drop in importance Google gives to its own PageRank technology.
