There
aren't many search tools online that a person can
get excited about. Many software programs give only
a portion of what you need to accomplish online. So
what about a good site to do searches across any
search engine you choose? That's what I like about Queryster.com.
It gives you choices doing a search for any search
engine at your fingertips. This can be a great way
to check on how well your site is ranking as well as
just general searching for information.
What
makes this site valuable is that it is simple. There
isn't any mystery as to what search engine you're
using because you just click on the one you want for
the search term you put in. What could be easier?
Instead of going directly to the search page of each
individual engine, simply do it all in one spot! As
a result of the nice setup and complete inclusion of
all major search engines, it's become my page of
choice for searches. Obviously, Queryster.com does
some small banner ads up on top of the page, but
they're really not in the way. They're not banner
ads per say, rather they are linked tags.
If
you're looking to do website promotion,
Queryster.com is a great way to do research on who
is ranking well for a certain topic across many
search properties. It also displays the ads for
Google and other paid advertisers so you can see
what's being done there too. Nothing is missing for
helping you in your search engine strategy research.
You'll also find some of the search engines you may
not be as familiar with but have good traffic
numbers. Entities like AllTheWeb or Wisenut and some
of the popular meta-search engines.
When
you get an login password, you can add up to 25
search engines to your display on the home page.
These little icons make it so easy to go from
searching one item across many results pages. For
those of you who would like the power of this search
tool resident in your browser, they also offer a
toolbar. I know this toolbar thing is getting out of
hand, that's why this one makes more sense. It has a
drop down box for the search engine you would like
to query with the search term you're using. I don't
know how much information it gathers from you when
you search. So read the fine print before installing
the toolbar. One thing I found a little unusual was
that there was no good information on the company
behind it. It's uses a DMOZ directory by default on
it's homepage, but I don't know what entity spawned
Queryster. I'm probably stupid for not finding it on
the website, but I'm not going to dig endlessly. It
looks almost like a Google or Alexa product. It has
that feel.
No
matter who is behind the Queryster.com website, I
find it to be a helpful search tool which can help
you in your website promotion efforts. It delivers
all the search engines in one simple page without
having to jump all over the internet to find what
you're looking for.
