Top 500? I don't think there are 500 top search engines is there? Most search engines (the little ones) are powered by other big major search engines.

[virusrulez]

agree ,even add non-English SEs,;)

[stephenhacking]

Top 500?
Do even people go to the search engine which is going to be number 500?
I probably think there could be traffic worth targetting only in the top 20 or 50 SE's.
Categorizing 500 would be a waste of time according to me :)

[chrisranjana.com]

You mean top 500 directories or top 500 Search engines ?

[mjesales]

google, yahoo, msn make up for like 87% or so of all the search queries on the net... so other than those big 3 - the rest are all competing for the remaining share.

I wouldn't spend too much working with or looking into these SE - sure if they happen to start sending you traffic great - or if you bump into one - cool.

So as you can see, between those 3 engines, they have pretty much monopolized this area of the net, which will more than likely never change. :)

I would concentrate on the top 500 directories rather than engines, that would seem more productive. =]

[droplister]

there are thousands of search engines, but only a dozen significant ones.

[010081]

there are only about 50 top search engine that are most famous and helpful.

[misohoni]

Well if you take the search engines that don't use Google Results, I don't think you'll end up with many.

Actually Baidu was missed out, just because it's in Chinese doesn't mean it's really good!

[grg]

But asking for list "top 500" is still very funny... how long it could take to met this requirements? What a waste of time... :)

I think someone has been spending too much time paying attention to those adds that will submit your site to over 1000 search engines!! Now if that's not a joke then I don't know what is!

[rontol]

[Anita]

What are you going to do with that many search engines? LOL, I can't imagine trying to optimize for all of them.

[protocol96]

Brad Callen said submission to search engine is much useless and i think he was pretty much rite, there are more chances of search engines finding u thru backlinks from good sites

[markov]

I too heard a list of 100 search engines but not 500 list!!!

[Blogmaster]

Anyone can tell you they submitted you to 500 search engines, who has time to first find them and then check if their site has really been included.

However I make lots of money online and never spend anytime submitting to search engines. I only submit my sites to google and all the rest will eventually index it. It seems that once you are in google you automatically end up in yahoo. Yup it’s True!

[ablogger]

google, yahoo, msn are good more than 500 search engine

[charter]

Search engine submissions are a huge waste of time and effort!

You may be right. I don't spend anytime on it. I prefer to just invest in some advertising.

[maldives]

500 search engines? There are thousands of search engines but I only know few engines only and personally I feel there is no need to bother about the rest unless you are compiling a list. ;)

[Puneet Thakkar]

I refer Google, Msn, Yahoo the most....and alltheweb, altavista too at some extent.....

I get the needful from those ...

[vegabond]

Check this list:

I did not count how many there but i think it's a big list ;)

[wacamoi]

to be listed top in 500 SE must be very expensive

[010081]

i don't think there are top 500 engines ,may be just about 100.

[.Darkman]

What are you going to do with that many search engines? LOL, I can't imagine trying to optimize for all of them.
I want to know too. What are you going to do ?! ;)

[Jalpari]

hey yahoo is no.1 and google is no. 2 why not u try for ur query at yahoo or google ... put ur query and hit enter hope u will find ur ans

Hmm..
I feel you are wrong. Yahoo can be ahead of Google on the whole as a "website".
But as a search engine, Google tops the list.

[tallstreet]

Heres a good list: http://www.tallstreet.com/view/Search_Engine/

[Grokodile]

The only reason I can think of wanting all those is to add them to a robots exclude file so they don't waste your bandwidth... since they almost never deliver any traffic anyway. :D

[ly2]

Google.com
Yahoo.com

The rest are meaningless.

[Nick_Mayhem]

guy,s

does any one have the list of Top 500 searchengines


<?php
$x = 1;
for($x == 1; $x <= 500; $x++)
{
echo "Google.com";
echo "<br>"; //For proper Formatting of the search engines.
}
?>

[ron21]

[relatedr]

You could just go to alexa.com and use the keyword 'Search Engine' you only get about 97,096,000 sites in result! :D

There you can see the rank of the search engine and make your list :D

[JoyGoRound]

I like these two links...

http://www.linkmetro.com/directory.php?group=117&sort_by=0&f=0

http://www.websquash.com/freesubmission/index.html

these have lists of directories, there are small descriptions about the directories also.

[templates]

Google.com
Yahoo.com

The rest are meaningless.

i almost agree with this,but i get alot of traffic to a few sites off msn

[irtiza]

#3 SE is Baidu!

[dannbkk]

lol...top 500?

check this site,they listed some ;p

http://lorien.ncl.ac.uk/ming/Resources/searcheng/search.htm

rontol , nice link you provided but looks like it hasnt been updated in some time, google have only 4 thumbs up below altavista which has 5 thumbs, LOL

[alemcherry]

This is a complete waste of time. The top 3 will give you 99% of the traffic. No need to even think about the smaller one. maximum, you need to consider the top 5 nothing more than that.

Submitting to search engines is a total waaste. they are meant to find you through incoming links! No need to sumit to google either. if there is links pointing to your site, they are gonna find you. If there is no backlinks, there is no point in submitting. You are never going to rank anywhere on top results!

Google and Yahoo sharing the search index is another bullshit. Dont be so silly, this forum is visted by some master SEO's!

[dannbkk]

The TOP 500 Search Engines is to simply type in google.com the word "Search" and the first 50 pages will show you the best search engines in the world!

[DiggingU]

Let me just be the 100th person to say this.

Top 500??? :eek:

[adolix]

#3 SE is Baidu!

for who ? for Baidu team, not for the WWW. :)

[.Darkman]

for who ? for Baidu team, not for the WWW. :)
May be not the 3rd.
But definitely in the top 5

[007c]

Search engine submissions are a huge waste of time and effort!
I disagree most of my traffic comes from search engines. And you get quality visitors.

[ROAR]

couple kids took the short bus here today...dee duh dee

[ablaye]

google, yahoo, msn are good more than 500 search engine
I would ask.com to this list.
Those 4 are the only ones that you need to worry about.

[Steupz]

I wish I were in all of them

[appie]

I think the number of search engines which use their own technology like spider, index and ranking technology is limited. I know the following ones with unique technology:
Google
Yahoo
Msn
Teoma
Walhello
Gigablast
Wisenut
Exalead
Searchhippo
