Search SEO & SEM Forums With Google Custom Search Engine

Jan 24, 2007 at 9:31am ET by Barry Schwartz

I have created a Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) that specifically searches the various search marketing and search engine optimization forums on the web. Currently, the Google CSE searches 14 SEM/SEO forums, and I have honestly been very surprised at how relevant the results have been. You can give the Google CSE a try over here or directly below. If you would like to recommend adding and forums to the Google CSE, feel free to comment here or in the original post.

Give it a try:

Postscript: Some people asked if they can add the CSE to their Google home page, you can by visiting here or by clicking here.

I claim this idea as our own, having created a Google CSE a month or so ago, doing exactly the same thing!

I was surprised how good the results were too, although I guess yours will get really popular because your blog crushes ours :) Hehe

Hi MarkZZ,

What would you say for the similar service (SEOLens) which we had launched more than 3 months ago? Find below the announcement made on Nov 17 2006 :

We also provide an option to add this search as a gadget in the user’s Google home page.
