Today everybody is using search engines for whatever reason it may be, so my attention is towards this only. Do search engines charge some sort of fees for commercial websites and not for non-commercial websites? Now you must be saying that what’s the difference from the user point! The difference is when user is searching on the search engines he can choose from the option to get the commercial or non-commercial website results. This will affect the search in so many ways. As if the person want something for free just for the knowledge or he is willing to pay for the particular information/product. This will make search easier to simple search user. As the simple user who wants to search for some information about just for example say about any course material, user sometimes gets the irrelevant results which is not of his need. Resulting in waste of time on the search engines or different search websites. If the same user finds the option to choose from the commercial websites/non-commercial websites his time would be eventually saved. I think all search engines should implement this method. I hope this method is time consuming but once implemented this would make search engines a real heaven for the information. As long as user point of view is concerned user will be happier to search for topics pertaining to more users to search on search engines. What do you think ? Do let me know....
I think for example ask.com must pay google a % of there profit to stay on googles serch engine! this all should be in the serch engine section to!
iam not talking about sponsored listings.... iam talking about the differentiation between commercial and non-commercial website and if you are working commercially you should pay them and if you are sharing some knowledge or a non-commercial group you should be offered a free listing.... what do you want to say on this.../
I can think of several ways this could be to the detriment of both end-users and independent webmasters. First of all, the line is difficult to draw. Most sites are actually a combination of information/revenue, including many non-profit sites that monetize to pay the bills. Second, charging for commercial listings would give an even greater advantage to large, commercial sites that can afford any such incidental cost, while summarily putting out of business any small webmasters that cannot afford the fee. In other words, the population of this forum. I do not earn enough to pay for a SE listing. SEO is already a huge investment in time or money, and your plan would reduce the option to money alone. Assessing these fees would be a huge expense which would raise the price of the listing even more. Since "non-profit" sites would have an enormous advantage, an industry would immediately sprout up around abusing such sites. Finally, the end user suffers whenevr such an artificial exclusion is applied. When I search for a laptop online (as I recently did), I want as many listings as possible...not just Best Buy and Circuit city. I want every last listing, especially the smaller sites that can offer a good price because they get good SE traffic. Nice idealism, but not good for the theory of the internet, and not good at all to reduce the commercialism of the Web. I believe it would have the opposite effect.
I think google could make alot of money if it turned around and said $1 for ur life long listing with us for one site!
i wonder who will look to moderate millions of websites , currently everything runs automatic , google bots do the job, but manally accepting $1 and activating the listing would take whole life for google. i mean it wont be possible.
iam all.. the way not saying to charge... but they can charge if they want... though i am saying that they should develop a differentiation between the commercial and non commercial websites as this would very easy for the normal users who search on search engines and did not get a refined searched...
if they charge im sure they wouldnt keep fees less then $200 thats probably if google comes up with its own directory.
But this would just very small business if google peeps into it... as what other webmaster will do...?? i wonder if this happens...
I think Google would be wary of compromising the integrity of their index by charging sites to appear in the organic results. Would these sites get preference over non-paid sites in the results? Google already indexes just about every original site it comes across; it's just a matter of placement.
