Predictions for 2004

Now that Christmas is out of the way, I may be able to spend more time doing some SEO. (E-commerce sites take up to much time.)

For what it is worth JoeAnt will make it big in the UK in 2004. It is already out stripping AV, Lycos, BBCi and Tiscali on the sites I look after. This will be the next DMOZ.

Affiliates will replace reciprocal links. The more dedicated the better. Already seeing great results. Okay they are not free but the return is far greater.

MSN will create it’s own database, but will be fighting it out with the renewed Yahoo for Number 2 spot. Google will still lead the field at the end of 2004. Not much change there.

And a sad farewell to Looksmart UK. I always liked it, even remember the day it started. About the only good internet thing to come out of OZ (other than Wicked Weasel of course). And the staff were always helpful. MSN will not be the same again, trying to work out which Looksmart database was being used!

What are everyone else’s predictions for 2004?

Who will be the next movers and shakers to effect the UK search market.

Aaron you are in loads of forums m8 :D

I think Google will stay number one by a long way. Googles algorithm will become more advanced and cut out a lot of the spam and using "in context" inbound links rather than a list of inbound links. I whished Google.co.uk gave a boost to UK only sites - i know you can tick the UK search but I want to show it mixed in with US sites but fairly.

Jowho has not got a chance. Inktomi and Fast are the only decent results but whats the frigging point of using them.
