List of Best Internet Search
Engines for web site submission
Google
URL: http://www.google.com
Google
would very soon be declared as the BEST INTERNET SEARCH ENGINE
as it is rapidly gaining market share among search sites and could
surpass long-time leader Yahoo if the trend continues. As of April
24, 2002, Google accounted for 31.87 percent of all search referrals
worldwide - an all-time high - compared to Yahoo, with 36.35 percent.
Google has agreements with both Yahoo and Netscape to provide
back-end search capability for visitors conducting searches on
their sites. Google's back-end service is not included in these
figures; only visitors that search directly from Google's site
are included in Google's usage share.
Yahoo's use of Google's search capabilities seems to have increased
Google' s visibility. That's because the Google search engine
powers the Yahoo Web Page Results. According to the latest press
release on May 1, 2002, Google has been selected by AOL to provide
editorial search results and paid listings to AOL's various
search properties in the United States, including AOL Search,
Netscape Search and CompuServe Search. Web site submission in
google is highly recomendable.
