Alternative Search Engines Rising in Popularity

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

A recent report shows that 98% of search is divided among the top four search engines – but that remaining 2% is still a considerable number of people. A few search engines make the top 10 list that should be considered when optimizing work seems done – you might have a little wok left to do!

Viewzi is a visual search engine which has been growing in popularity by leaps and bounds since it came out. If you aren’t already optimized for visual search, you need to be just for the visual search options in the major engines, but doing it for Viewzi too.

Vertical search can be a little tricky at times, but it is absolutely necessary for competitive niches and narrow specialties. Surf Canyon is another engine that will yank results from inner pages as it watches the user search =- and you want to be relevant enough that they can see you so you gaet to be one of the lucky picks!

Mobile search is huge, and it’s not just iPhone – the Windows platform supports thousands of users that won’t touch the Google app. Optimize your music based content for SeeqPod, and make sure you hit the mobile market on al fronts.

These and many other second tier search engines are stubbornly clinging on to their shared 2%, so jump in and claim your share of their traffic. Faroo is a peer to peer network that takes the idea of organic search one step farther, and is definitely a good place to secure a listing if you have a product or service you can market directly.

People tell other people about cool stuff, and there are plenty who like nothing better than to try various search engines. Show up consistently, and they’ll notice you!
