Ask HN: Why does searching for "cloud" on Google does not display AWS?

1 points by sairamkunala 9y ago ↗ HN

Its kind of ironic that Google's search results do not show Amazon Web Services, given that AWS holds 80%+ business of the cloud and still Google's results do not show AWS when you search for "cloud" or "cloud compute". Not in the first 5 pages at least.

You get rest of the service providers and other articles about cloud linking to AWS, but not AWS.

Cloud Drive is on the first page for me.

The AWS landing page is result 5 for "CLoud Compute," not including the "What is Cloud Computing" blurb that pops up and is itself an AWS link.

I'm guessing the URL doesn't contain "cloud" so it'll rank lower.
