V7ndotcom Elursrebmem Image Results

Is the new Windows Live image search faster to update? If you enter v7ndotcom elursrebmem (the SEO contest), Google returns 0 images. Yahoo at least has 1. Microsoft’s Live.com, on the other hand, shows 8,752 images already.

Of course, this might be coincidental. E.g. it’s possible all 3 image search engines have the same update cycle, and Live.com’s update circle just coincided better with this SEO contest. However, Google Images is not known for fast updates. If you remember, a while ago there was a “mini scandal” because people accused Google of deliberately censoring Abu Ghraib torture images – in reality, Google was just so slow to update that they didn’t have these images yet.
