I know Google is one of the most used, possibly the most used search engine nowadays, but it isn&#8217;t the only search engine on the internet. But why should we think of live search and the others, they&#8217;ll never bring the same amount of visitors as Google will.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, SEO companies that focus purely on Google, would be better off by stating they are Google Optimizing (<strong>GO<\/strong>) instead of Search Engine Optimizing (SEO).<\/p>\n<p>But still, i&#8217;m only my ranting my 2 cents here \ud83d\ude42 And I do LOVE google, and honestly it&#8217;s my no.1 search engine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve posted on my blog, mainly due to the lack of spare time, but I really needed to spill my guts over this.
