Wozniak Joins Deep Web Search Company

DeepDyve - the 'deep web' search startup - announced Steve Wozniak has join their advisory board, the Industry Standard reported.

"DeepDyve, formerly known as Infovell, switched its name and business model last year. Instead of trying to sell itself as a business utility, DeepDyve now plans to build a consumer-focused, advertising-driven business," the Industry Standard noted.

"DeepDyve is a research engine for the Deep Web or invisible web which is that part of the Web that is not index-able by search engines like Google," WebGuild stated.

DeepDyve goes beyond keyword indexing used by most current search engines. As the site explains, "DeepDyve's KeyPhrase technology extracts substantially more information from documents than typical keywords. It indexes every word, as well as every phrase in each document, and weighs their informational impact using advanced statistical computation."

Given that the deep web holds much more information than is available through the main search engines this area offers a new way for people to access information.

Website search engine optimization makes every business visible on the net. And this is a great advantage for all businessmen to grab. Conquering the top major search engines is a tough way to achieve massive exposure for a certain business yet it is the best way to achieve and catch potential clients.

Actually this is about the areas that are not generally grabbed by the engines... Google really only finds about one third of all new content put onto the web each day.
