Hi,

Welcome ubispot. Well, I think about SE's like my children. I Love them All Equally.

I do realize however that each has something uniquely different about them which the others don't have and that makes them each special in their own way but all Equally Loved. ;)

Welcome to the fold. :)

Of the "alternative" search engines, I like Exalead [exalead.co.uk] (nice advanced features) and Hakia [hakia.com] (I like the approach and results layout)

Besides the major SE's, I think the only other SE that I've messed with would be Mahalo. And, yeah, I think SearchMe is pretty neat, but it would seem that google would just incorporate image search functionality to continue control of the search market. No?

On a somewhat side but still related note, it amuses me that how some people are set in their old ways and stuck on non-google search engines. A few of my clients swear by yahoo and when I try and explain organic results and the ranking there of, they just don't understand the power of google and the relevance of ranking in google over ranking in yahoo, etc. LOL.

Ubispot and Quadrille.. are both of you Googlers? :D

eqaofficefurniture,

they just don't understand the power of google and the relevance of ranking in google over ranking in yahoo, etc.

I couldnt' agree more..........but it's still vitally important for organic SERP's to do well across the whole spectrum do to their "outsourcing" results to other companies/sites. Right? ;)

Man, I like Google but they have been a bit off lately. Traffic seems to be going up and down for no reason. Yahoo and MSN stay consistent.
