An introduction to the major search engines. An introduction to the major search engines.
Most traffic comes through the top few engines and directories.
So you'll need to get used to these important search engines and the different definitions used to describe them, if you want to get traffic.

Microsoft's search uses the LookSmart directory with secondary results that come from Inktomi. Be relevant to your site. Think what you would search for.
