pinging search engines<\/a> for information, you are used to seeing some results that simply are not relevant. For instance, a search for \u201cblack hightops\u201d may produce results for black shoes and hightops, but all results won’t necessarily be for black hightops. Blekko allows users to search via a \u201cslashtag\u201d function, which allows you to categorize the search. You can perform a search for \u201chightops\/black\u201d in order to more accurately limit the results presented to you \u2013 great for precise and niche queries.<\/p>\nBuzzSumo<\/h2>\n
If you are in the business of content marketing, then BuzzSumo may be an excellent choice. You can quickly use BuzzSumo to see what your competitors are doing, which links are performing best on social media and the top influencers for specific topics across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and elsewhere. There are few networks out there that can ping social media networks and determine who and what is performing well better than BuzzSumo.<\/p>\n
Quantcast<\/h2>\n
Pinging search engines for more precise data \u2013 demography, social statistics and even transportation related figures \u2013 can be a bit frustrating in some cases. Quantcast revolutionizes the search process by catering solely to these variables. Anyone who needs to see traffic times in a particular city, demographic characteristics for a country or crime reports in a neighbourhood will find Quantcast to be quite helpful. Its basic interface is usually enough for most searches, but you can get more ideas and innovation by using the \u201cBrowse Rankings\u201d feature, which lists the most popular types of search currently on the search engine.<\/p>\n
CC Search<\/h2>\n
Those who love to produce and distribute content know how frustrating it can be to find free media in the public domain, but CC Search is a search engine developed explicitly for that. You’ll be able to run searches across dozens of different directories, including Google Images, YouTube, Wikimedia, Fotopedia and more. You can run a search for commercial or individual purposes to be sure you’re in compliance, or even search for content that is open-source and can be legally adapted to meet your content-driven or multimedia-related needs.<\/p>\n
