Search Engines

Search engines rank the stuff they find on the internet by the relevance the website has to the search.
As you type in a keyword to search for the search engine will look for the website most relevant to that keyword.
Websites can be specially designed to optimize important keywords so that the website is more often at the top of the list and therefore more often clicked on.
There is an internet marketing strategy called SEO which stands for Search Engine Optimization. This process involves editing information on the website to make it more relevant to particular key words.
My Favourite search engine like most people would have to be google.com, just for the fact that it is the simplest, the quickest and it produces the most results. Youtube another awesome search engine. Not particularly usefull but lots of fun.
The Scavenger Hunt really showed the importance of google and wicki to me, and ther familiarality I have with them, and the ease at which to use them.
