Does it really matter to rank in other search engines ?

their are some search engine like yahoo and bing gain some visitor for your site, but not that much of effective compare to google.

 

Certanly it is the three big one and two or three local one for example in Denmark it is iNettet and in indian it is Guruji

 

google is the hardest to rank is so if u can do that then ull probably do well in others. its like lifting the 100Lb weight, if u can lift that one then u can probably lift all ligher ones as well.

If you do well in Google, you will do in Yahoo/Bing.

 

yes, well you should also consider other search engines since google is not the only search engine being used by people all over the world.

 

80% of my traffic comes from Google.

 

Its better to rank in most of all search engine but its much better to rank in google than other search engine, I guess if you rank good in google the rest will follow.

 

Believe it or not. I have a website where i get 95% traffic from other places than google. for me yahoo is the best. it matters to me to rank in other search engines because you never know, what if you are dropped from google's index?

 

It is always nice to rank in other search engines, but unlikely that they will bring you much traffic. Anyways, ranking well in Google (Or trying to) helps with your rankings in other search engines.

 

Google is the king of search engine and even if you rank well in other search engine, you might not get as much traffic as google. Yahoo and bing folows as the second and third best.

 

I think if you are #1 in Google,chances are you will still be in first page of other search engines so why bother optimizing for the small ones. Focus time and money in Google.

 

For me Alexa rank and any other rank matter, but if it is good in Google then it will be good in other search engine.

 

wow very good information, so google is all we need

 

higher the rank you get higher the traffic you see on ur site....

 

google is ofcourse 1 but bing and the others can aslo get you a bit of traffic.

 

I guess Google is the prime target. But, I would spend some time to also make inroads with Yahoo, MSN and Bing. With a presence in these four then exposure of your site is guaranteed.

well for me yahoo also works good and even ask some time . so its something atleast .

 

It has been clear to many that ranking in all the search engines will drive very little traffic to you site. So, does this mean that it is not necessary to rank in them? Nope I know that it getting your site ranked and linked from as many different sources possible is important. Even the smallest of search engines, submitting your site to as many of them as you can. This will only add to your authority. After all that is what you ultimate goal is. Remember that you want to drive as much traffic from the search engines that you can, even if you only get 1 visitor from a small search engine, that could be 1 more customer or a $50 sale. So, is it worth it now? I would say that any customer is worth the trouble.

 

Shot for google first but once you rank high in google I'm sure all the other search engines will be similar
