Hey fellow dp's! Is it smart to market your website only towards google? Or should there be a healthy dose of all major search engines included your SEO Marketing strategies?
What is the difference? If Bing and Yahoo were to disappear tomorrow our business wouldn't be affected, if google did we would be out of business in minutes. But making a great web site should be attractive to all of the search engines, so targeting it for google is meaningless. best regards wiz
If your SEO is effective for one search engine, chances are you'll list pretty good in other search engines. A lot of people still use Yahoo and a lot are using Bing. Google is surely the most popular, but ultimately you want people to be able to find your site on all search engines. That's my opinion anyways.
I think it's safe to say that 99% percent of webmasters are optimising mainly for Google. It wouldn't make any difference if bing and yahoo decides to shut down their SEs.
It will be beneficial to rank in major search engines, but it is an "ace" to rank well in Google which is the most preferred search engines by most users.
In my experience, Yahoo is 2nd to Google, and Yahoo brings in less than 5% of what Google brings in to my site.
Google is setting the standard if you can rank well in google then you probably rank well in other search engines or they are not doing their job right as search engines
Absolutely. Just make sure you are top in all the results in google, you will automatically show good results in other search engines. Basically google has hyped its presence so much that not many people are so much interested in other search engines. However you will find few of them who also judge your sites by the results of search engines other than google.
I love this one! Even the Microsoft wants to own google "Dream on!" LOL. Google has set the tone for many of the organic search marketing efforts. Rank well in google and you'll do just fine for yahoo and bing.
Google being the segment leader, sets the benchmark for people to follow. Hence optimizing for google easily makes one meet the criteria for other SE's as well! Regards, RightMan
