Alexa websearch powered by Google?
by Harun Yayli on Monday, July 25th, 2005 at 6:26 pm under Amazon, Google, Hot Competition
I saw something very strange a few days ago.
Alexa is an Amazon company, offering stats about websites. And on their page if you’d like to search the web, the web search is powered by Google.
Also A9 an Amazon company offering websearch.
So why use Google, if they are both Amazon company. Isn’t A9 is a competition for Google (or vice versa)? Why support competition instead of your own company’s search engine?
Simply non-sense.
Maybe an AdSense revenue trick?
