Outside of Google & Bing what is your favorite search engine and why? This could be for personal use, competitive research, user experience.

I do quite a few searches on twitter; unfortunately usually there is even more "noise" then even Google shows.

I use Twitter often for real time 'searching.' Mostly local or breaking news alerts.

What are the SEO challenges associated with private search engines, like DuckDuckGo?

I read recently that DuckDuckGo doubled in size in 2017. With their search engine, and other alternatives to Google, taking part of the search market away, how can SEO/Marketing/Web pros keep their websites optimized and get traffic from these private search engines? (Also, do any of you have experience with this? What portion of your search traffic is coming from private search engines?)

"&" in search for site:domain.com

Hi, a few days ago we talked to a seo agency. They told us something about the "site:" search, that we hadn't heard before.
As they told us, a search for "site:domain.com/&" would give you the number of relevant pages that Google indexed for your domain. We tested this search with some domains. Lots of the results showed up to 25% less indexed pages, than the search for site:domain.com/ Has anyone heard of this before, or is it just a sales gimmick?

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on Hyperlocal Searches and optimizing for them?

We're planning on building our own directory. Does anyone here have any experience with using directories to drive inbound traffic? Any advice in general on Hyperlocal Searches?

Local Search Not Responding To Optimisation

Hi guys / gals. This is quite rare for me because I normally can put together a good strategy based on the best articles / content etc I have read. However this time I am in a bit of a situation where I dont seem to be able to get results for my Google Local Listings or Google Plus Places page. The listing is good, has a description, images, url, address etc. The weakness was a lack of citations, so I got the White Spark Tool and went to work. I have probably built about 20 citations - all pretty good sites, nothing dodgy. The issue is my listing has gone the wrong way i.e. lost positions. What am I doing wrong here. Is 20 citations just not enough? Is there another ranking factor I am neglecting? I have digested this : http://www.davidmihm.com/local-search-ranking-factors.shtml Please advise peeps 🙂

Google Trends Hot Searches hourly historical data?

Is there a site that archives Google Trends' hourly Hot Searches data? I'd like to see if specific keywords were trending at a specific time yesterday. Is this data out there? Is there a different site I should be using for this info?

Searching google without bias

i read a tip once and can't find the reference to that tip. It had to do with searching google without including the history of your searches to bias the result. The user was suppose to put a code at the end of the URL, like &pw or something like that. Anyone hear of this?
