Snap Review
by Paul Flyer
Snap has been an ever evolving search engine for the last several years. Snap recently changed their look once again. While the search results themselves offer nothing spectacular, there are two great features of Snap that users will like.
With every search, Snap produces a list of related search terms in the left navigation bar. They also provide the number of times that term has been searched. This is a great place to pickup a new idea for a keyword phrase or two. Unfortunately, there is no specific time frame given to the number. Is it number of searches in the last day? week? month? I could not find an answer to this. The only statement I could find was the following:
Search Count refers to searches by a panel of U.S. Internet users. This data is provided to Snap.com by an independent research firm.
Snap also provides additional reporting capabilities on keyword usage. Search a particular time frame (great for seasonal keywords) or search a greater list of related keywords.
Keep in mind that the audience of Snap is small. Don’t make big plans for keywords until other tools have been employed to measure the results (see my keyword suggestion tools article).
Submitting a website to Snap is quite easy. Just fill out this form.
Keyword hunters now have another tool in their pocket.
