Which search engines are the best to target for traffic purposes other than Google?

We are all aware that Google is one of the best search engines. However, which other search engines do you target that are just as good as Google?

I just worry about Google and not Bing or Yahoo. My way of thinking is that if you rank on Google you should be ranking on the other search engines too right?

Why worry about the other smaller ones anyway when Google is so big?? Yes I know you can probably get a nice amount of traffic from the other search engines...

What if another search engine comes up out of no where and surpasses Google? If you don't focus on other search engines, you are selling yourself short, right? No one thought any website could ever take over Google, however Facebook is creeping up slowly behind them. And Yahoo is somehow creeping up right beside them too. I don't like to put all of my eggs in one basket, I love to spread them out as an insurance policy of sorts.

Hi Everett Thanks for your question. Yes it is very easy to say other search engine name instead google. But I never can compare with Google as best traffic source instead Google. Google is ever best for getting targeted traffic. And I got recorded over 70% traffic generate by Google where yahoo less than 7% and bing almost same as 6.% for generating traffic. So, If I need to say instead of Google for targeting traffic. I should say yahoo second and bing is third. If you go out of topic social media another great way to generate targeted traffic. Again, no one better than Google.

Google has the largest market share, however, there are other powerful search engines as well. Which search engines, apart from Google, you should use depends on your targeted traffic. For example, if you want Chinese traffic, you need to target to Baidu, which is the most used search engine in China (Google is not available in China). If you want Russian visitors, or traffic from Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Turkey, you may use Yandex.

Since Yahoo is the second placer to Google in terms of ranking of search engines, I guess Yahoo Search is the best to target than Bing or Ask and some other lesser search engines. With Yahoo, it has a bigger audience and that’s what we need when talking about the traffic that we can get from it. However, if you are doing SEO for Google, that will also apply to Yahoo and the other search engines in town.
