Save Time with the Stock Market Search Engine
Written By TarikAfter becoming frustrated with irrelevant Google searches on the stock market, I decided to create my own stock market search engine for readers of Investor Trip and the whole world!
How the Stock Market Search Engine Works
If you run a normal Google search for say “Apple Stock Analysis“, about half of the results are unrelated to shares of Apple stock. We must spend time stiffing through the clutter to get what we want: a stock analysis on Apple. The Stock market search engine solves this problem because the search index lists websites that are related to the stock market. Your search query is run only through stock market sites, which saves you time and expedites your search process immensely.
The Acceptance Process
The acceptance process is simple. I will view the site to make sure it contains unique and helpful content that’s related to the stock market. If the site passes this test, I will add it accordingly. I’ll add sites to the index on an ongoing process, so feel free to recommend any quality stock market investing sites. Please leave any worthy sites (or your stock market site) in the comments.

There are only 10 sites in the index as of today. So you may get an overabundance of certain sites.
Got any suggestions? I just added MarketWatch and Bloomberg today.

Good idea. Hope you make some money.
Did you put everyone in the IBN? I joined by the way. I still need to get the blogroll/badge up.
I see you’re running Amazon’s in-line text ads. You might want to make the links double underlined or something so that we know what they are. Otherwise it’s rather annoying to think you’re looking at the link to the “acceptance process”, but it’s really just an ad (for instance).

Some IBN members are reluctant to add the badge to their sidebar, so I only listed members who listed the whole group. Every external link gets some PageRank love, but those who left the bar off of their blog don’t deserve any backlinks in my opinion.
Once your IBN blogroll is up, I’ll add you to the sidebar.
Also, thanks for the mention on the Amazon links. I can see how they would confuse readers, which is way I changed the format to double-underlined.
You can also control the amount of ads per page, a feature that Kontera should consider implementing.

I meant, did you put everyone in the IBN into the custom Google search?
But good thoughts on the blogroll. Adding the badge and the blogroll is on my list of things to do and I think I’ll follow your suggestion of only adding those that have already put theirs up.

Hey TJP,
I just signed up for the IBN on Wednesday. I was wondering if you think I should email everyone in the network to let them know to add me to their sidebar. What did you do when you signed up?

Try e-mailing BioHealth Investor. He kepts an e-mail list of every member in the network. Then I would put up the IBN links, and everyone should follow suit. That’s what I did. Let me know what happens.
