Wondering what the major search engines in Dubai are? Search engine optimization is an
important part of building an effective business website, but you need to know
who you are aiming for and what the major search engines in Dubai are.
The answer to what are the major search
engines for SEO in Dubai are you will just have to look at the most popular
search engines that are in use today in Dubai. If you go back even just five
years, there were many more search engines using their own programs to obtain
information about new websites and content. Today, there are really only a few
major search engines, while other smaller engines feed off of the same results
from bigger engines.
The biggest and most popular search
engine in Dubai and the one that many other engines aspire to be is Google.
This company, which also has many other Internet properties like Gmail,
Adsense, and Blogger, is a huge part of Internet culture. The search engine
used by Google often defines how other engines view web pages and Google has
even developed its own system of ranking web pages and placing them on results
pages in relation to other sites. When most people are talking about SEO, they
are talking about making sure their site is search engine friendly for Google.
The next closest competitor has only
about half of that. Yahoo is a popular search engine, and the company behind
Yahoo also has many other properties like Yahoo Mail, as well as many
commercial and paid sites, even Yahoo Stores. While Yahoo has branched out far
beyond the search engine arena, most of the people in Dubai still use Yahoo
exclusively as their search engine of choice.
Given its monstrous status in the
world of software, you might be surprised to learn that Microsoft is a bit of a
slow runner in the world of search engines. It comes in as a weak number 3 in
the search engine wars. In fact combining all the traffic Yahoo and MSN control
would still equate to less than what Google has.
A final search engine, among the
many smaller engines, is Ask.com. This search engine, formerly called Ask
Jeeves, has its own crawlers and results. A different way of showing the
results on the SERP (search engine results page) has drawn in some users, as
has the different way of "asking" for the sites you are looking for. With less
than 5% of the market (the same as many other smaller search engines) it is not
as important to make sure you are optimized for Ask.com
What are the major search engines in Dubai?
Well, majority of the population of Dubai use Google so it is the most
important search engine of all, so as long as you make sure that you have made
your site search engine optimized for this engine, you will be sure to get most
of the Web to see your Dubai based website.
