Hi 1st of all thanks for getting me here. I have a very small question ? Whom to give the importance in terms of SERPS. My site is ranking good in bing ( local country ) and Yahoo ( local country) but not with google. I am getting a decent amount of organic traffic from bing and google. So wondering should i focus more on google or keep some boost up with yahoo or google? Please suggest ! Thanks in advance.
Surely Google is the giant .... Concentrate more on Google, you will get huge traffic.. Because majority of the people using Google as search engine .... Usually when your site has updated and quality content matching the keywords , it will rank periodically in Google ... If your site has good backlinks then it will not take much time to rank better in Google... How old is your site...
You need to work on your Google rankings as well. A lot of people use Google so you should also start working on getting good ranking. Google is HUGE.
This will not be the "professional" SEO answer. But I've given up chasing algorithms and search engines. I am a one-man office/website, and I just want to enjoy writing and posting good content. Of course I do try to use accepted SEO practices, but I refuse to be a slave to them.
The one with the most clout is Google. That being said...I whole-heartedly agree with Jim4767. Good luck!
Considering the market share it will not affordable for you ignore the Google. Try to improve your ranking in Google see the difference in traffic to your blog.
I prefer just write for the users you want to target. It has a reverse effect on search engines too in a way that if you have a good content that's really catches the eye of users then it will surely get noticed by Google and other search engines. You also need to think that you never do things for search engines or you never give importance while doing optimization. You just do things for getting recognized and that will only be possible if you know what you are doing and for whom. Nobody knows what a search algorithm really is we all know is it exists that's it.
Google is the most important search engine because it is preferred by people all over the world. In my opinion all your marketing activities should be concentrated on getting good results through Google search engine. However, it is important to stay away from spamming for getting the best results.
Try to work for more and prioritize google because a lot of people use google. It's a worldwide most visited one.
Thanks everyone for such a great tips and point of view. but Isn't it we are the only one who created the google this! So why can't we create bing and yahoo too ?? If Seo community stop focusing and giving priority to google will that big "G" will be having that attitude of screwing and penalizing the site ? I guess no ! And its really pity that we all are now dependent on google like the planet earth is own by google. Why everyone is marketing about google !! No personal offense but my question is even if i don't care about google will it be that worthy to survive in internet market ? will be there any scope of change in this mentality of users ?
No offense intended. But most of the sites Google "screws and penalizes" should be screwed and penalized. Spam, shallow content, paid links bought to manipulate the SERPs, scraped content, etc.
Of course GOOGLE is the best... But I am really curious why do you want to give an importance to ONLY one SE?
Google is number 1 SE that should be prioritized as people all over the world prefer Google. Thus, it's guidelines and protocols should then be followed to avoid spamming issues and be successful in any field of endeavor.
depends what product and market you want to target, of course google is the boss but, its your product or service that responsible
