After this session I hope… You will leave here with a magical list of

search engines that I downloaded from an article by Charles Knight

You will try at least two new search engines each week

You will actively evaluate and use some of the search engines that have been previewed

You will pass this information on to others

Why use anything else?

According to Charles S. Knight, "Search Engine Optimizer” SEO, 99.9% of searches are conducted using the following:

1, Google 2. Yahoo 3. MSN 4. Ask.com

What’s the Difference Between a Directory and a

Search Engine? Directories are compiled by people-Sites

that attempt to organize a large amount of information

Search Engines are automated

A directory is a listing of links compiled by someone as opposed to an intelligent agent.
