UK search engines
UK search engines can be useful in finding more specific results, as global search engines will provide a great deal more results therefore not always being as specific. It is sometimes difficult to trawl through the mass of results from a global search, so many people may stick to UK search engines to get a more refined and less daunting response.
UK search engines can be more geographically specific. Many search words put in by people in the UK (as well as some from people around the world) are going to want UK specific information, whether it be about a UK store or UK television programme, therefore the UK search engines are what they will use. Submitting to UK search engines such as Altavista UK, UK Plus and Excite can assist in increasing traffic to your web site and there are as many as 50 UK engines you can register with. The top search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Altavista have their UK counterparts which are as important as the search engines themselves.
UK search engines have the advantage of providing more focused results and should be considered an option for anyone providing products and services for a UK only audience. Some UK search engines provide a free to register service whilst other charge a nominal registration fee. Search engine registration which is free can take up to eight to ten weeks whilst search engine registration which is paid for often shows results in forty eight hours .
