Search Engine At Your Service Whenever And Wherever

If you are a small business owner, act like a small business owner and do some personal PR. If you find yourself in a position where you would like increase your exposure in the search engines, here are some helpful tips that will not only help you with backlinks, but you might also find that the word-of-mouth exposure will help you as well. There is something that you and there is something that you do well. A real estate agent for example would be in a perfect position to give people helpful and frank advice about buying a new home. A carpenter could comment on home repair tips. And so on. So why not take this knowledge to advertise yourself.

This is a forum where you can instantly post questions that get answered by all others currently in the forum. There are many categories, and it is very easy to find one in which you are an “expert”. Then, just start answering questions. It is important that you not give short answers just to get it done, make your answers thoughtful but concise. Use “jargon”, important words for your trade, wherever possible. Remember, if you answer is noteworthy, you will soon start seeing your own answer page floating around on the search pages. And as you answer questions, your backlinks will increase as well as the number of people who see your company name on a regular basis. This will particularly help with Yahoo! search engine results.

This is but one method that can be used.

Google has resoundingly thumped Yahoo and MSN in the ongoing search engine wars. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t read it myself; Google continues to grow in size and popularity while Yahoo and MSN continue to firm up their “also ran” positions. What does this mean for you? Plenty, especially if you are wasting your time with the other search engines. My previous statistics were evidently a bit outdated as I had the search engine war between the Big 3 Providers — Google, Yahoo, and MSN — running a tight 1-2-3. Indeed, it must have been early in 2005 the last time I bothered to look at the statistics, but at that time my stats showed that Google controlled 36% while Yahoo and MSN were running at 33% and 32% respectively.

If your listing has an error on it, you can make a change request using Yahoo!’s How to Suggest a Change to Your Yahoo! Listing form. Don’t forget that Yahoo! charges an annually recurring fee of $299, for as long as you want your listing in their directory. For adult web sites, the fee is a whopping $600! This is why it is essential that you get it right when you submit your site to the Yahoo! Directory. Because once you’ve made your submission, you have to live with your Yahoo! Directory listing for years to come. With the Yahoo! Directory being the most popular directory on the Web, the results could play a major part on the success of your web site. Whatever Yahoo! and Bing combine to develop under the new search alliance will instinctively generate a reaction from Google and other search engines. Only time will tell if the reaction from Google and other search engines will be equal.
