Google Trivia

Ever wondered about the simplistic layout of the google homepage? According to thirumurugan.in, the primary reason for the bare homepage of the king of the search engines is that its founders didn't know about HTML and just wanted to have a page with quick interface.

As of August 2007, google is named as the most used search engine with 53.6%. market share followed by yahoo and live search. This explains why numerous sites are willing to pay for seo service to top Google's search results page.
