There are search engines and there are search engines. In the current e-world there are numerous search engines but, there are only a few which matter. No matter how popular a website is it still depends on search engines for more traffic. This scenario will continue to remain so in the near future. A search engine acts as a common point for information where a person can get wealth of information on one topic from different sites.
Here lies the crux; site appearing in the top 3-5 results have the highest probability of click through and hence more traffic. A lot of factors go into getting a higher ranking on search engines; few of which we have already discussed and few of which we will cover in the future. So for a website to reach millions it should reach the search engine database first.
In this post we will be listing the search engines which matter the most. Most of these are commercially maintained and have high credibility. These search engines have dedicated servers, IT team and state of algorithm to capture most of the data available on internet. The feature which makes them distinct from others is the search results for user queries: the more relevant the results, the more popular it will be.
The first step to be success in the search engine world is to get listed in the search engine directories followed by other essentials which need to be done for SEO. Below are list of the most important search engines:
