GrabStreet.com – Meta Search Engine

GrabStreet.comThough at first glance this site might look as a parked site, it’s actually not: it’s a meta search engine with less than perfect understanding of how to differentiate itself from the myriad of sites with similar typefaces and color schemes. GrabStreet.

com combines in one same page the top ten search results for two of the largest search engines: Msn.com and Yahoo.com, which allows users to view simultaneously what is getting the first positions in each of them without opening several tabs, and will definitely be of use for people working with SEO. Interestingly, you can look for any term and use the search box next to it to indicate a zip code, and thus screen how local campaigns are doing. Users also get a column of sponsored results, though it seems worthy to rethink this monetization strategy a bit, as with the inception of new browsers which allow users to block ad space, it’s likely that it will become a less and less attractive means for advertisers to increase their products’ visibility. I also reckon that the people behind GrabStreet.com ought to include some more search engines’ results, as there are so many other meta search engines which display close to ten simultaneously, allowing users to choose what combined searches they want to do, and with a nicer interface as well.
