Microsoft Hopes to Capture a Big Part of Chinese Search Market, Thursday, December 31, 2009
   
 

The search market is an extremely profitable business for those involved. In the United States,Google,Yahoo and Bing are the obvious leaders in the search trade.The Chinese search market is an unusual setting from what the major players in America are used to. In China, the chief search engine is not a name that most Americans are familiar with. The top search engine for Chinese users is Baidu , which holds 63.9% of the Chinese search market,which leaves Google in the subsequent place with 31.3% of the search market.

The Chinese search market is very productive with a value of $293 million in Q3 2009. Microsoft is hoping to intensify the popularity of its Bing search engine in China. The software giant announced that China is its chief strategic market for search.

China is such a significant market to search firms as it is home to the world's leading internet population with more than 350 million users. Bing has been available in China as a beta product for sometime now, but has not made a considerable impact in the market so far.

Aardvark Emerges as a 'Social Search Engine', Thursday, October 15, 2009
   
 

Aardvark
Microsoft may be the only company with the means to challenge Google's Internet search dominance head on, but a number of firms are trying to compete with Google with services that tackle aspects of search that is not covered by Google's index of Web pages. Aardvark - a firm whose cofounders also include two ex-Googlers - is tackling something that it calls "social search."

This is how aardvark functions.Instead of looking at Web pages to search answers to obtain queries, Aardvark's service tracks a person's network of social contacts. Ask Aardvark for any kind of question ranging from restaurant recommendations to home enhancement tips, and the service will pass on the question to Facebook and Twitter friends who have recognized themselves as "experts" on a variety of topics.

The aardvark service, which has obtained praise from the New York Times' David Pogue and other tech bloggers, was started as a beta version earlier this year but accessing Aardvark required utilizing instant messaging software or an iPhone app.

Recently, the company put the search box directly on a website - vark.com - enabling it to become more reachable for a wide range of people.

Similar to the so-called real time search engines popularized by Twitter, Collecta and OneRiot, though presently Aardvark depicts a small segment ,it might be quite dangerous for Google in future . Most of the content that transmits through these new types of search services is not essentially reachable by Google's search engine.Google is making its efforts to tackle the situation by licensing the Twitter data feed. As more innovative forms of search evolve,Google will find itself having more such talks.

Zook.in aims to provide local and media search services, Sunday, October 04, 2009
   
 

Zook
An Indian local and media search site Zook.in (http://www.zook.in/) is using search engines from Yahoo and Microsoft at the back-end of its site to keep its costs low.Rather than pay yellow pages companies to provide local data, which is often limited to only key locations, Zook.in analyzes content thrown up in searches by mainstream search engines, to offer immediately consumable data in the area of local search and media search, said Ajay Sethi,CEO of Ziva Software, the company that runs the new web site.

Zook.in is launching at one go in India and abroad, as it believes that to succeed as a viable business proposition, it has to scale quickly to millions of users.Local searches and searches for media are key search categories for mobile phone users, Sethi said.

While mobile phone users can also search for other general information on the Zook.in web site, the results displayed on its "Web snippets" section will be of a similar quality to those offered by the back-end mainstream search engines.On local searches, the site returns data such as the address and telephone numbers of hotels, restaurants, government offices, consulates, malls, hospitals, and other key places. Users can click on the telephone numbers provided, and dial out immediately.

Google Caffeine-The new version of Google Search Engine, Friday, August 14, 2009
   
 

Google CaffeineThe Search engine giant Google has released the developer version of its new upgraded version,which is coded as Caffeine-an interesting name,though ! Most people would have the same opinion that a little jerk of caffeine is just what the body requires in order to kick into high gear and begin moving more rapidly in the morning. It appears that, caffeine can have the same consequence on Google Incorporations search engine. Google themselves have stated this improvement as the "next-generation architecture".

The internet giant promises that "Caffeine" will definitely improve on categories such as speed, size, accuracy as well as comprehensiveness of Google search.

When it comes to the above factors,this is what the net users look for :
Speed: How rapidly can the fresh search engine load results?
Accuracy: Which set of results matches the search term?
Temporal Relevancy: Is the version of search engine good at capturing breaking news?
Index Size: Is it really all-inclusive than the previous version of Google?

Once Microsoft launched Bing ,the whole world was wondering how good this will be and if it can contend against Googles search technology. Bing proved that it is a very good search engine, and after that everybody was wondering what will Google do in order to overpower Microsoft's
new search engine.Probably caffeine is the answer for the doubt raised in people's minds.

Tests so far have revealed that the latest version of Google is twice faster than the the previous Google and it also displays higher search results (depending on queries).At the moment it looks like Caffeine is superior than the old Google, but we need to wait for it to be released.

The development version is available at www2.sandbox.google.com

Microsoft releases Beta version of Bing, Monday, June 01, 2009
   
 

Microsoft has released the Beta version of Bing (formerly known as Kumo).Bing is expected to replace Microsoft's Live Search.The full launch is scheduled for June 3rd.

The home page of bing is quite impressive as the images in the background changes everyday.The so called "decision engine" Bing introduces new features with the intention to perform faster.To be more specific the search engine was developed with the aim of offering swift answers to users search queries, especially in the field of shopping,local business,information and knowledge,travel as well as health research.This would also mean that the businesses will have to move away drastically from the common search of keywords during the process of SEO campaigns.

It returns results purely based on their relevancy to individual searchers and displays them based on their subcategories grouping rather than whether they have keywords which match the search query.

Just go to the home page msn.com and type in any of the keywords and press search.You will be directed towards bing.com search result page.Well should we call this clever marketing?Anyhow,we need to wait and see if this search engine is going to be a google beater.

Experiment with the bing search engine at www.bing.com

SEO mostly to overtake paid search in 2009, Wednesday, March 11, 2009
   
 

The online marketing agency Razorfish has revealed in the Digital Outlook Report 2009,that search engine optimization will become an important method of marketing,by even overtaking paid search like PPC. It has been predicted that companies might witness a fall by around 10% compared to the year 2008 in the case of paid search budgets. This is the first year that companies would be witnessing a fall in the area of PPC's. On the other hand ,it would be the year when many companies would shift to SEO for its marketing.

Some factors which is causing this shift could be due to the following:
1.Advertisers,after several years of being grounded in the area of paid search are quite confident now and willing to shift to the unpaid listings of SEO.
2.Due to the lower cost of SEO when compared to PPC, companies will be drawn towards SEO.

A recent report from eMarketer predicted that there will be tremendous growth in the field of search engine optimization (SEO) during the next five years.

Performance of Cuil search, Monday, December 29, 2008
   
 

In July,the new search engine 'Cuil' was launched with great hype,but was followed by a sequence of bad publicity.Six months since it has been launched and the performance of this search engine has not been good.

Techcrunch reveals the traffic of the search engine in the alexa chart which was updated in another site.A seen from the chart the levels of reach experienced by the search engine has been dropping extravagantly since launch.The site witnessed a large amount of launch traffic,mostly by bloggers checking to see if it was really as bad as reported, before a huge drop off occurred.





Cuil was launched by ex-Google employees and should have performed much better than it has so far. It's also been funded to the tune of $33 million, which also is not a very investment at this stage of the game,considering that Google has established itself in the area of web search.
