My Private Google…for free
Google announced today that it is allowing anyone to build specialty search engines on Google’s huge online index – for free. All they want in return is the ability to place their text ads within your customized search engine.
The idea is pretty powerful for lots of sites. For instance, a site catering to small business may now implement a customized search engine that will prioritize ‘money’ or ‘cash’ within financial content instead of pages about the music industry. Google claims that the process of setting up one of these tailored engines is only a 10 minute adventure.
Other products exist but seem to offer less flexibility in terms of altering look-and-feel. It appears that Google’s product will allow sites to keep visitors and allow site owners to make money on the advertising.
