Google…

When you’re optimizing your web site with SEO techniques, you may wonder which search engines are more important.  If you have a small SEO budget and not a lot of time to work on your optimization efforts, you may want to choose just one or two of the more popular search engines and work on optimizing your site so that those search engines index and rank your site.  

Google has become the most widely-used search engine, particularly because of the other services Google provides.  In addition to performing searches for information, you can search the web for images, look at satellite maps with Google Earth, search through the text of scholarly articles with Google Scholar, and make your life a bit easier by using all of the other tools provided by Google.  

Optimizing your web site for Google can also help you get ranked with some of the smaller search engines since you’ll need to follow SEO rules carefully to have a chance of being ranked by Google’s search engine.
