Yahoo!s Search Pad Is Innovative For Search

Writing by Nick Stamoulis Tweet

Yahoo! is finally getting innovative in search. If you do a lot of research, they’ve got a beta of a new product called Search Pad. Search pad allows you to save notes on your searches. You can copy/paste or type in your notes and order them any way you want. It’s the perfect feature if you do ongoing research on a particular topic or a number of topics. Here’s a video you can watch to learn more about it:

But what if you don’t like using Yahoo! as a search engine? What if you prefer Google? Well, you can still use it. Perform your searches in Google and when you find a site that you like, search for that site by URL in Yahoo!, open up Search Pad and make your notes. This interview at WebProNews can give you a little deeper insight.

So how can you cash in on this feature if you are an search engine optimization or Web publisher? What you want to do is make sure you have a high search engine saturation for your keywords. If you expect to be found, for instance, for the key phrase “master mechanic Detroit Michigan” then have more than one page on more than one website that is optimized for that phrase. A blog and a website will give you two positions in the top 10 for a key phrase if you are any good at search engine optimization.
