A web search engine is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are generally presented in a list of results and are often called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike Web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input.

Q.

How much does it cost to advertise with different search engines?
Q. Ok so I have this assignment that I'm working on and I'm trying to figure out how much it costs to advertise a page with different search engines, like google and dogpile. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.

A. The answer will depend on competition. Advertisement for a particular keyword (sea food restaurant) for your business can range from 10 cents to 20$ per click. You can go to keywordspy dot com, enter a website that is in the same competition category and see how much they are paying for each keyword click. Hope this helps.

In a sense, these search directories are a very large Internet Yellow Pages. Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using such "generic" queries will not be able to discover your website.
