There are a couple new search engines on the horizon that may disrupt Google’s 2 decade hold on the search industry.
Neeva
“We envision a search engine very differently” – Sridhar Ramaswamy, former head of Google advertising and co-founder of Neeva.
Neeva touts “Ad-Free Private Search” as stated in search results.
Sound familiar?
It’s DuckDuckGo’s claim to fame but their progress in competing against the other bigger brands in search has been slow. Maybe Neeva can pick up the slack.
You.com
“In many ways it’s surprising, given how large of an industry search is, that it hasn’t been fundamentally rethought,” said Richard Socher, formerly of Salesforce and You.com’s chief executive.
Organic First
You.com has ads but it claims to “prioritize real results over paid content and ads to ensure that can the integrity of the results can be trusted.”
Organic traffic being pushed to the top is something I’m sure SEOs love to hear.
