Most people think that the search market is overcrowded by the big search engines (google, yahoo, bing), but there are still room for new search engines.
As the top search engines continue to grow more and more and they continue indexing thousands of sites every day their inaccuracy is also increasing. Many times when you search for a certain keyword all the websites that pop up in the top 10 contain low quality or inaccurate information.
This phenomenon occurs because these search engines rank the websites according to their “in-site” search engine optimization and the number of backlinks each website has. They don’t pay much attention to the quality or accuracy of the information included in those websites.
As a consequence of all this, new search engine models are going to emerge. In just 10 years the search engine market may look very different.
As you can imagine any person or business trying to start a new search engine should not try to compete with google. That’s an almost impossible thing to succeed at.
If you are planning to start a new search engine, instead of trying to compete with monsters like google and yahoo you should try something different. For instance you can start a search engine relevant to a particular niche like technology or traveling or whatever you want, and apply a different ranking model based not only on seo but also based on quality and content accuracy.
Remember: the search engine market is going to experience great changes in the years to come and this may be the time for you to position yourself in this new reality.
