Google.ca:
People can add their own websites to google, all they need to do is to go onto google and find where it says "Add your URL" and click on it. Google states on that page that the URL you put on their might not appear on the search engine. That all depends on the top-level page from the host. It doesn't matter if you are a buisness person or a student, anyone can put ads onto google. This search engine ranks its pages by its top-level page from that website's URL. The ads on the search engine don't effect how the pages are ranked, the ads are in their own little section at the side of the web page.
Ask.com
Ask puts their advertisements onto the pages that correspond with the topic of the ad, these ads range from opening buisnesses to help wanted ads. The ads on this search engine don't affect the ranking of the pages. The person who owns the ad is responsible for the taking care of and updating of the ad. The pages that people apply to Ask are ranked by their protocol. The better the protocol on the page the better ranking that page will have on a search. An ask crawler, machine, manages all the pages on the search engine, it also is required to make updates to all pages when it is nessecary.
Microsoft/msn.com:
The ads on this website are paid for. The owner must pay each time a person on the web clicks on their ad. The ads are placed where people can find them quick and easy, where ever they search when they are searching for something on the web. The ads correspond to the search the person does, which doesn't effect the ranking of the pages on that particular search. The search engine ranks its pages by how many times a person clicks on one. If more and more people use one page then that page will have a higher ranking than the other pages from that search. The people who submit pages to this search engine are responsible for keeping it up to date.
Which I liked better:
For each of these search engines I looked up the subject of writing. I found that google and msn.com had the same pages show up. Ask.com had some really random things about writing, it wasn't very exciting. I liked google.ca better than all the other search engines. The reason for this is that I understand how to use it better than the other ones. It is easily laid out and it is easy to find information about anything you need, like for this assignment it was easy to find info on the search engine. Over all I would pick google to search for anything I need. It is the most popular search engine and I believe that is because this search engine makes it easy to find what you are looking for and I believe that it is the faster search engine out of the three that I chose to look up for the assignment.

Hi Breeanne:
Here's your evaluation for A7...
SEARCH ENGINES: ARE THEY ALL THE SAME?
Search engines are considered essential tools for finding information on the Web. Select three different search engines. Research each search engine, looking for information, such as how many pages it indexes (manages) and how it ranks pages. Also, find out what type of advertising it accepts and how this affects page rankings. Use each of the three engines to search for a specific topic, and compare the results. In your opinion, which engine is the best? Why (make sure to give proof--don't just say because it is!)?
EVALUATION
Uses three different search engines 3/3 marks
Describes how each engine indexes its pages 0/9 marks
--no description given regarding indexing
--what is indexing?
Describes how each engine ranks its pages 6/12 marks
--not reall clearly presented
--what is ranking?
Describes the types of advertising each search engine accepts and how it affects its ranking 3/6 marks
--what types of advertising are on the search engine?
--advertising and ranking are related...
Effectively compares the results of each search engine to the other two 1/3 marks
Gives opinion on which is the best search engine 1/1 mark
Gives 2 reasons to support their opinion 3/4 marks
--faster doesn't always mean better
--why do you think MSN and Google indexed
--I'm not sure you know the difference between the two terms
I think that you kind of blew this one off. Definitely, lacks your usual higher calibre of work.
TOTAL 17/40 marks
