My Turn: Personal Blog Posting Assignment

A. Are the web pages listed in the search results the same or different?
The web pages listed are simmilar but not the same. Google, Windows Live Messanger and Ask.com are very simmilar, while the search engine Mamma is a little different.
B. How do the search results from the Mamma metasearch engine differ from the search results returned by the other three search engines?
Google, Windows Live Messanger and Ask.com both listed wikipedia first and then american kennel club, followed by other informational sites, then sites where these dogs could be purchased, rescued etc.
Mammma listed profiled informational sites first, then yorkshire terrier clubs, then yorkshire terrier rescue sites, then wikipedia, followed by picture sites of the dog, then much further down the American Kennel Club page.
C. How can you use a similar exercise to identify appropriate meta tag keywords and descriptive Web page titles when planning a Web site?
When writing web page titles and meta tags, be sure that the web page title and meta tag conveys exactly what the page is about and uses key words that someone may type into a search engine when looking for information that is on your site.
