Google will be launching a new “custom search engine” tomorrow — something I thought would happen after seeing the domains “IndexBench.com” and others a month ago. The Financial Times reports it will be similar to other excellent services like Rollyo.

“Marissa Mayer, vice-president of search products and user experience, said it was the most significant launch that Google would announce in the final months of this year. By letting companies and individuals build their own specialised search engines, it will also create competition for the many new “vertical” search products that have recently been launched on the web, she added.” — Financial Times.

Not only will this new service be used by the person customizing it, but the creator can also “paste” a search box on any website to share their search engine with others — and they will enjoy a slice of ad revenue generated through the AdSense network.

I got an interesting article from Axandra newsletter which list down why search engine ignore your web site, even you have submitted it. If you are still wandering why your site is not listed on search engines check out following reasons:

1. Check if search engines can read your web page content
2. Check if search engines can find your web pages
3. Check if your web server causes problems
4. Check if your web page content makes sense to search engines
5. Check if your web site has the right inbound links
6. Check if your web pages contain spam elements
