These search engines include Wikia search, Oparla, Cuil & Searchme, and Wolfram Alpha.  The search engine Oparla looks to pay users when they search. Ever since the posts of the new search engines, we really haven’t seen some publicity to market these engines.

We’ll give you a quick look on these search engines here.

The search engine Cuill seemed to have a potential. Although the paid ads appeared to be served by Google which is a bit surprising because we thought that they may want to establish their own advertising platform to get benefits from. About the Searchme search engine, well, it would let you be redirected to Google.

The Wikia search engine is now redirecting it to Wikia Answers. This is from further investigation on the Wikipedia that seems to have ended its journey for this engine and it was only last May of this current year. Wolfram Alpha still seems to be going strong. Some say that as it was trying to load some ads, some browser tend to crash. Oparla is still going but we are not quite sure of the “getting paid by surfing” part as it was mentioned at the “about us” page.

Oparla is still going, although is a relative newcomer to the market – not quite sure how you get paid from surfing on this engine though, which is mentioned on it’s about us page.

One search engine that has a potential is named Tazoodle. It would be quite interesting if it could carve out a niche in the search market.Still it would be unlikely because of increasing competiotions in the market.

New Web Business is a relatively new site all about building web based businesses, there’s some really great content on there and it’s well worth a look. The interview is also now live and you can have a read for yourself by following the link below!

I don’t consider myself a full time blogger, or even a ’successful’ blogger for that matter, but it’s nice to be recognised for all the hours which I have put in once in a while!

So let’s take a brief look back at what 2008 has held for both myself and EggRage.

Achievements For 2008

Well given that we only launched in February of this year I think we’ve done pretty well for 2008, though still a pale immitation in comparison to some of the bigger blogs out there.

New Job

I moved jobs in 2008 from being a full time SEO engineer at an SEO agency to being lead web designer, and head of SEO at one of the UK’s leading extreme sports experience retailers [Extreme Element]. This was a great move for me and I’m chuffed to be working in a far more relaxed office environment, as well as being a core member of a company which has got some really bright prospects for the future.

Redesign

In August I purchased my very first theme from WooThemes and applied it to this site to expand it’s range a little bit as the previous free theme which we were using was pretty basic! I’m made very little visual modifications to the theme so far but you can expect it to get a little more ‘custom’ in 2009!

Launched Other Sites

Throughout the year I’ve launched a couple of other sites that all now growing very well, and in turn link back to EggRage to provide us with more coverage and traffic.

iNetZeal

First up is iNetZeal who are a company (funnily enough) specialising in SEO services – as most of you will know from previous posts, I have a big problem with SEO companies who rip off their clients, so I was delighted to see that iNetZeal offer unbelievably reasonably prices for all their services, and are a very professional outfit all round. You can check them out on iNetZeal.com

Romow

We’re also very pleased to be welcoming Romow to the team, who are a very extensive and highly visited web directory. They’ve got a really great traffic rating and some extremely highly rated listings (as voted for by the users themselves, as it should be!) And are well worth checking out at Romow.com – you might even want to submit your own site while you’re there! ;)

Interested In Seeing Your Site Here?

Our advertisers help keep this site going, and we’re massively greatful to them for it! If you’re interested in joining the team then head on over to buysellads where you’ll find all our ‘vital statistics’ and prices.
