Is google the best or just the oldest?

The other day I read a post is about IS THE GOOGLE THE BEST.
I don't know if there is any better searching engines, but I kind of think google can not be No.1 in everyone's mind.
So guys, what do you think?

For me, I love Google the best.

Google is still the best and forever for me as it is the most used search engine in the entire world and has so good services that can make it no. 1 search engine.

On just about all of my sites, traffic from google has an average bounce rate of about 50% - 55%.

Traffic from Yahoo has an average bounce rate of about 23%.

Google might send your site a massive amount of traffic, but it also has a high bounce rate. You want targeted traffic, and that is where yahoo comes in. Yahoo traffic is more targeted then Google.

To answer your question, no, google is not the best search engine because the traffic has such a high bounce rate.

That is NOT because Google is at fault.
It's more the case of if you follow all the junk SEO "advice" you will be appearing in the results for pretty useless words and phrases.

Then why does Yahoo have such a lower bounce rate then Google?

On just about all of my sites, and especially my busiest forum, yahoo bounce rate is @30% lower then googles.

There is no doubt that google is still in number one position as it has more traffic than any other search engine in the world.

Google is the best imo.I actually tested using a particular keyword where Bing returned no results, yahoo returned 10 results whereas google returned almost about 75 results.Google rocks all the way!!!
