This is a continuation of yesterday’s post. You may want to read that post first:

Search Engine Optimization – Attract The Only Search Engines That Matter

We have already considered the top Search Engine – Google, which has approximately 43.7% of all searches made online. There are two more search engines to consider. Search Engine Optimization plays a big part in how your web page is ranked in the search results pages of these Search Engines.

Yahoo

It may be hard to recall, but Yahoo was the most popular website in the world. Google took over the lead a few years ago. Yahoo has estimated over 58.9 Million searches every day. This is approximately 28.8% of all searches made online. Yahoo also offers some other services that can help webmasters to promote their websites.

Yahoo ranks your web pages based on relevance of information on each web page. Search Engine Optimization will help you have a higher ranking. Web page ranking also depends on the popularity of your web page and how many links to your web page come from other websites. Yahoo is a little lenient on the quality of the links and will often count links that Google ignores. It is a good possibility that you will rank higher with Yahoo then you will with Google for this and other reasons.

Yahoo Search Marketing is a Pay Per Click program that is very similar to Google AdWords. This program was formerly known as Overture, but was bought by Yahoo. Your success and the price you Pay Per Click depends very heavily on Search Engine Optimization. If your website is not designed with SEO in mind then you will end up paying a lot more for each click. Your advertisement may not be shown as much, because your advertisement will be so far from the top that people may never see your advertisement.

Yahoo also has a Beta program that is similar to Google AdSense, but at this point I am not sure if it is operating. I personally tried to join the program , but did not get very far in the process. Yahoo is currently using a different Affiliate program that is operated by Commission Junction. You can use this program to promote Yahoo products and services as well as many other products and services offered by a wide variety of companies through Commission Junction.

MSN – Windows Live Search

The last search engine that we will consider is MSN Search, which is now known as Windows Live Search. Windows Live Search has estimated over 27.7 Million searches every day. This is approximately 12.8% of all searches made online. Windows Live Search has indexed over 7 Billion web pages, which is approximately 1/3 of Google, but still notable.

Microsoft adCenter is their Pay Per Click program. This program is still growing, but is not nearly as large as Google AdWords or Yahoo Search Marketing. Microsoft had used Yahoo for a number a years, but decided to break away from their relationship in 2006.

What About The Other Search Engines?

You are probably wondering about the rest of the search engines out there. Consider that the top three search engines monoplize the search market with approximately 85.3% of all searches made online. Also consider that most of the hundreds of other search engines are either owned, partially owned, or are supplied with information by the top three search engines. Now consider that less than 15% of all searches made online are divided among the hundreds of other search engines. Is it worth your time and effort to worry about the smaller search engines?

Once you get listed on the top three search engines the rest will follow suit and you will be listed with them before too long. You can get more information about Search Engine Optimization by clicking on “Search Engine Optimization” or “SEO” in the Tags on the right side of this web page. You can also do a search in the box at the top of the web page.
