    I know Google is number 1 search engine and number 1 company on the internet,but I wonder if some of you don't follow google flow and has some alternative methods to popularise their websites.

    You don't need a search engine to have a popular website. Just make a good website... Do you think people discover sites like Facebook or Twitter by randomly stumbling on it via a search engine?

    Well, Bing is slowly becoming an alternative to Google. It, however, is a long way to go.

    A loooooonnnnggg way. :)

    For this site, Bing isn't even in the top 3 for search engine referrals... It's barely above ask.com.

    Google is so dominant, that other search engines aren't even worth thinking about.

    Yes, but achieving success in search engine rankings accounts for a lot. A search engine is just another advertising media. So if you're not gaining popularity via search engines, you're doing so through other methods. Once does not simple create a site, sit back and watch visits stats grow. It must be advertised, and sometimes search engines are the best method of advertising.

    Thanks for sharing that. That is what I see across websites I have stats for. Google is the only search engine worth worrying about, if that is how you get traffic.

    Google is far far ahead than anyone else. If there is no Google, there is a strong possibility that Yahoo and bing will share the top position.

    I don't think anyone can replace Google, people have replaced the word 'search' with 'Google' :) ...

    There is an alternative for the google search i.e. Bing. However, no other search engines can be as powerful, relevant as Google that is why i never look for Google alternative.

    Google is just a way to drive traffic. There are many other ways to drive insane amounts of traffic as well.
