Default Do I need Google?

Is Google that important for my business to be successful online? I only read articles about how online businesses depend so much on Google for their own sake. I wonder if there’s a way to avoid this search Engine and still be successful.

I think there is no harm in using Google, so why avoid it? Your business site pages should be able to be known among almost all of the search engine to be able to be competitive, google helps you optimize your business pages....

I agree with web_doctor. Google is one of the best ways of getting your site out there. I'm sure with hard work and dedication to your site, even without google you can still be successful its just that google makes it a little easier.

It wont kill you not to use Google but that search engine can bring immense amount of traffic if you use it right. This traffic is potential business. You can focus on other search engines but theres no real reason to "avoid" Google.

Not necessarily, you don't have to have money in order to promote your site. You can also do link exchanges, get article reviews done about your site, comment on blogs and a bunch more you can do without money.

Well, YES !. google is the best of increasing traffic and hence for earning money from your website. Unless your website is not getting visitors, it is of no use. There is no other way for increasing traffic to your website than google.



thanks.

I agree with this. Without traffic, your site is dead to the world.

I don't totally agree with that because I use other methods other than google to gain traffic like link exchanging, article reviews etc to gain traffic even though all of that bunch together still relates to google's search engine.
