Google cheats on Webmasters

As you might have noticed from my post the other day I was a bit ironic about Google Webmaster Tools thingy. It’s been noticed by many that even those highly publicized innovations like backlink checker are not working as even a simple Yahoo Site Explorer search like this one gives you much more links that are seen from Google webmaster tools. Now the hard proof emerged that Google is not only lame, but also is absolutely inadequate providing merely wrong information to webmasters. Just look at this screenshot:
I was nearly blown off my chair when I first realized that according to this lzzr.com must be ranking first for the term Yahoo on Google. I must admit that my first thought was - thank God, my suffering is over, now I am the King of the web 2.0! And immediately after I was about to rush in panic to order a dedicated server and upgrade to a wider connection fearing lzzr.com in its current state would not stand the traffic explosion. Alas, there are no miracles in this world and I did not take me long to come back to reality and see that this simply can not be true
Now the questions are: If this isn’t in fact true than

• Why on earth Google is lying to me?
• What actually Google shows me?

The former one is easier to answer as it seems Google had become paranoid about disclosing even the smallest bit of info that might provide food for thought and help understanding their algos. I’ve mentioned already that Yahoo has a completely opposite policy: while Google becomes more and more secretive, they open as much as they can whuch is very helpful in daily SEO work.
The latter is a kind of nutter as I simply can not believe what I see and the only explaination for this I can find is that Google displays some kind of “microwawe-ready” results for ranking and the real ones go through an extensive cooking process before being served to the customer. I can only guess that at a certain stage in their SERP calculation lzzr.com indeed happened to rank first for Yahoo term (could it be due to my ingenious eSEO? LOL). I can even suspect that this might be so since I used a good old Yahoo regional domain seo trick but otherwise I have no clue as you don’t really think I am mad enough to optimize for Yahoo?
Ultimately, it all boils down to the fact that something is rotten in the kingdom of Google as it displays such crap and wants me to believe in it.
PS Nevertheless, how I wish it was true LOL!!!
