Green search engines are increasing in popularity, particularly since more people are looking to conserve and protect the environment for generations to come. It’s not always easy filtering through search results on broad topic search engines to find high quality green sites, as many businesses are now using this popular topic to sell their products—green or not. (A growing concern known as “green washing.”)
It’s no secret that a number of green search engines have been sprouting over the Internet, but do they review the sites they list? The answer: some do and some don’t.
Using Google Custom Search, a service offered by good ol’ trusted Google, the editors at the green search engine, Green Link Central, hand pick sites to be listed in their search results. While the company receives numerous search engine submission requests, only topic specific, high quality sites actually get listed. (Of course, as with any humans, occasional hiccups can happen, which are quickly fixed once noted.)
Anyone can submit their favorite websites to GreenLinkCentral.com to consider listing in the search results. Many of the submissions come from website owners and SEO specialists.
A comprehensive resource, GreenLinkCentral.com also has separate sections for blog articles and website reviews. The blog articles are categorized by popular topics such as Carbon Footprint, Eco-Friendly Products, Green Building, Green Living, Public Health, Solar Power, and Sustainable Travel. The website review article section is a resource to help people get a glimpse of what other sites have to offer to help them quickly and easily make a decision about entering the site. Website reviews are only for quality sites that are listed in the search engine results.
