	Search Engines	Traditional search engines use spider-crawling software to index Web sites into a massive database that a user can search against using keywords
	Meta Search Engines	Metasearch engines go behind the scenes to gather the top search results based on your keyword search from the various search engines, and return the results with the source identified.
	Paid Inclusion & Pay- Per-Click (PPC)	In addition to featuring normal search results, PPC engines allow sites to bid on their placement by paying a certain amount every time a searcher clicks on their link.
	Web Directories	Web directories differ from search engines in that search engines are populated by search engine robots that find and index sites, whereas directories are populated by human beings who make editorial decisions.
	Vertical Search Engines	There are thousands of vertical, or specialty, search engines that focus only on a certain topic. Oftentimes, if you are looking for highly specific information, these engines will find what you need.
