Here is a simple question – what search engines do you use to attract traffic to you website? I guess the answer of most of you is Google (or JUST Google to be more precise). But why do you ignore other search engines? Certainly they are not so popular as Google, but exactly this fact is going to make TOP positions achievement easier in these search engines. Besides what if Google just penalized or even banned your website? The right solution is to try getting visitors from other web search engines.
Below you can find the list consisting of 5 most popular (after Google) web search engines. Using all of them is enough to get so much traffic as Google gives you.
http://www.yahoo.com/
The second world most popular search engine after Google. Yahoo was founded in 1994. At the moment it is holding about 18% of search market.
http://www.bing.com/
Microsoft’s search engine unveiled on May 28, 2009. By August 2009, Bing had occupied about 9% percents of the US web search market.
http://www.altavista.com/
Long time ago it was the first popular internet search engine, but at the moment it`s popularity left in history. Altavista uses Yahoo search database (just compare their results to make sure). So if your website is listed in Yahoo TOPs, that means it also got to Altavista TOPs.
http://www.ask.com/
Ask (former Ask Jeeves), occupied 4% of search market on November 2009. Ask indexes about 1/8th of English pages, indexed by Google. Ask is more popular into the United Kingdom.
http://www.dogpile.com/
The meta search engine combining Google, Yahoo, Ask and Bing search results, so you can search in all main SE from one place. Actually Dogpile has a very little search market.
In fact there are tons of other SE, but if your website achieved high positions in the abovementioned search engines you may get enough targeted traffic even without Google.
