Different Engines for Different Markets

Google isnt the only search engine in the world. Sure, its got a huge market share in the US and most of the main, internet-using Western countries, but its not #1 everywhere. And thats important to know.

Where is Your Traffic Coming From?

It all depends on whats right for your business. And just because a big chunk of your current search engine traffic might be coming from Google, doesn't mean that there arent dozens of other places you can find new traffic.

In Some Markets, Search Engines You've Never Heard of Are #1

Do you know Yandex? What About Baidu? The former is the #1 search engine in Russia, while Baidu has the biggest share of Chinas massive, still-emerging market. And thats only two of them  there are literally dozens more that might be relevant to your offering.

Youve Gotta Know Where to Target

Targeted SEO efforts towards alternative search engines can yield big results. But you need expertise  mostly everyone knows a little something about Google, and probably even uses it on a daily basis.

But if you're looking to pull traffic  and business  from countries where Google isn't dominant, you need an experienced partner that knows the landscape.

That means working with a company that knows its way around the alternatives to AdWords  like Bing and Yahoo!s offerings, for example  and one that has access to native speakers who can setup and manage your accounts on foreign-language search engines, too.

Running A PPC Campaign on Another Search Engine Can Be Highly Effective

Google is bursting with your competitors. Its the market leader. That's what happens when a huge amount of traffic comes through one place.
