The Search Engine Blog

Once in a while, someone will ask us why they should pay for monthly SEO work. After all, there are only three big search engines that capture 75% of the market. The question contains the answer. One of the things we do monthly for customers includes submitting to the minor search engines and directories. They make up 25% of search traffic. Crunch some numbers and that’s over 950 million searches. Can you afford to cast aside 25% of your potential business? If you are doing your own SEO work, don’t forget the small guys. In a vertical market, you may actually receive more business from the little guys than the big three.
