Know What the Search Engines Will Do Next

If you knew what major search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Ask Jeeves will be doing before your competition does, do you think this would give you a Search Engine Optimization advantage?

Chris Sherman has a great Search Engine resources article over at Search Engine Watch.  The article discusses all of the ways that major search engines provide information about new features and new developments.  Sherman's article turns out to be a great list of all the places you can learn about what the major search engines are doing (complete with links!) and how they will do it.  And you can find out long before your competition does!

Sherman discusses how to research what Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Ask Jeeves are doing and where to find:

• Previews of new features from major search engines for beta users
• Forums for the major search engines
• Blogs by developers and other employees for the major search engines

Here is just a small sample - a link that leads to papers written by search engine employees:
