Search engine Industry Big scuffle

Recent search engine area things more.

Two days ago Google and Dell Http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13533.html ">dell officially announced the cooperation, all Dell produced computers will be pre-installed with Google Toolbar and desktop search tools, The price that Google is paying to Dell is ominous. In fact, it's just a formal statement, and I've already mentioned the news before.

Another big news story is that Yahoo and ebay are allied. ebay will show all the pictures and advertisements offered by Yahoo, and Yahoo will put PayPal into its e-commerce system as a formal online payment tool.

A few more days later, Amazon and Alexa are abandoning Google search results and using Microsoft Live instead.

A few days ago even the Microsoft to buy Yahoo News, Yahoo president in a meal meeting denied the rumor.

It seems that the major giants have recently been frequent movements, peremptory is a pair of alliances play code.

This reminds me of what happened more than two years ago. Two or three years ago, Yahoo's search results also used Google data. But with Google's heyday, Yahoo felt threatened, so it bought Inktomi. Overture bought AllTheWeb and AltaVista before overture itself was bought by Yahoo. So in addition to Google, almost all the important search engines are under Yahoo, and then Yahoo officially abandoned Google, began to use their own search data.

It is also almost at the same time, Microsoft began to build its own search engine database, thus laying the today's Google, Yahoo, Microsoft three strong separation of the situation.

Then look at the major search engine between the wrestling, I do not know after two or three years, the search engine industry will be what kind of situation.

However, one thing is certain, the more competition, the more the user gains more, the network builders and promoter can also be more assured. Because putting all the eggs in one basket is quite dangerous. But what if the only basket is Google? A few more baskets, a few more options, site traffic will be more likely to stabilize.
