The landscape of search engines have went through some
drastic changes over the years. Not
only with technology, but also with various partnerships between the many
different search companies as well.
You might be running your search engine queries on a
particular search engine, although who is actually supplying the results - it
could be a different company altogether.
Below, is a list of the search engines that feed your
precious keywords:
Yahoo: Yahoo provides the primary search results for Yahoo
search, Alta Vista, and AllTheWeb, and receives paid listings from Yahoo Search
Marketing (formerly known
as Overture).

In relations to marketing, search engines can provide
anything you want to know. If someone
is looking for something, they normally refer to the search engines. When they type it in, the highest sites on
the engines will show - which is normally where the visitor will go.
By keeping good position on the search engines, you’ll
be near the first for visitors who are looking for a certain product. You can make a lot of money with search
engines as well, if you know what you are doing.
