The most popular search engines are Google, Yahoo, MSN Search, AOL and Ask Jeeves. Search engines keep their methods and ranking algorithms secret, to get credit for finding the most valuable search-results and to deter spam pages from clogging those results.

A web page that ranks #1 in Google might rank #200 in another search engine this is due to the fact that the algorithm of each search engines use can differ so widely.
