Is Google's rein over?

Search engine optimization was one of the most significant phrases last year. There has been innumerable research and study on how Google sorts its pages. The question that comes up is that will Google always remain the best in this area? Ecommerce Times reports that last year, James Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, announced that he would be launching a new search engine, which has brought about a lot of interest and speculation on Google's long run at being number one as finishing. This new search engine that James Wales is developing will cover a wide range of fields.

"It cannot stay on top forever. Yes, it is in the spotlight now, but a lot
of smart and well-funded companies are developing technology that is different
from what Google offers," he noted. "Many of these firms are focused on solving
niche or smaller or industry-specific issues. They are not necessarily big
enough for Google to focus on now, but perhaps down the road they will be
developed for general use."
