What is the Visible Web versus the Invisible Web? |
| |
The "visible web" is what you see in the results pages from general web search engines such as Google, and Yahoo! or Teoma, and AlltheWeb. The
"Invisible web" is what you cannot retrieve in the search results.
The "invisible" or "Deep" web pages cannot be "crawled" nor automatically indexed by traditional search engines, primarily because they are protected links inaccessible from the outside. These pages may also link to “searchable databases” on particular web sites that can only be “dynamically generated” when queried from within the site. The traditional search engine cannot do deep searches in these databases. However, you can search them manually if you know where to look. Some examples of invisible Web pages are:
Have you ever seen this message when refreshing a web page?
This usually happens when the page you are trying to refresh is a dynamically generated page. These types of pages contain data or information we require. But they cannot be searched and indexed by traditional search engines. Hidden within the databases and invisible web pages lie terabytes of information that are crucial to your day-to-day decision-making.
CloserLook Search Services can help you access this type of information in real-time with automated search algorithms and vertical searches.

What is the CloserLook Search Engine? |
| |

is a data aggregation platform that can search the databases underlying many Web sites in real-time. These Web-based databases can be either on the public Internet or on your Intranet. We also recognize that capturing raw data, however pertinent, is not a sufficient outcome. The information must be catalogued and organized into meaningful formats so that it can be readily disseminated within your organization. We ensure that the search results that are generated fit effectively with your company's organizational flow and decision-making process.
For portals and websites CloserLook™
vertical searches can help you build traffic and ad-revenue while boosting viewership and user loyalty.

What is Vertical Search and how can it increase search ad revenue? |
| |
It is a specialized search engine that satisfies the specific search intent of an end-user. It mines data for one narrow niche or topic. Such search engines target databases that offer a particular type of information say health or travel and provide search results that are pertinent to the end-user query for that particular topic. At CloserLook Search Services, we use our Deep Web Search Technology to build vertical searches that satisfy a broad range of markets such as Health, Travel, business background information, sales and prospection, skip tracing and so on...
Vertical search can offer results to a more focused audience, and thus increase the efficiency of ads on the search engine. It also presents a new kind of advertising opportunity called cost per action,
where the action of a user can lead to more qualified lead such as purchase of a product, registration to a newsletter or filling out a form.
We are constantly building applications to leverage the Cost Per Action model. Contact us to learn how vertical searches can help grow ad revenue on your portal.

What are searchable databases? |
| |
Most of the invisible web is made up of the contents of thousands of specialized searchable databases that you can search via the Web. The search results from many of these databases are delivered to you in web pages that are generated just in answer to your search. Such pages very often are not stored anywhere: it is easier and cheaper to dynamically generate the answer page for each query than to store all the possible pages containing all the possible answers to all the possible queries people could make to the database. Search engines cannot find or create these pages generated by Searchable databases. Examples of searchable databases are
