SEO: DuckDuckGo makes a very big announcement that could well worry Google and Bing...

With more and more users of its search engine, it may well be that DuckDuckGo makes even more noise than we could imagine…

We can no longer count the number of times the search engine DuckDuckGo has been talked about recently… With indeed a search engine that has thrown a stone into the pond in recent years, DuckDuckGo has made a radical choice, but which could pay off over the years…

Respect for privacy: a model defended by DuckDuckGo

Although its search engine is used for the most part in France, as in other countries in the world, Google does not necessarily have a very good image with its users. Indeed, with a reputation that is questionable, some Internet users believe that Google has built its model around user data.

If for some of them, this is not a problem, others clearly believe that Google does not respect their privacy. With some laws put in place lately, like GDPR, Google is not in a very good position… Thus, with DuckDuckGo which is pleased to offer a search engine without tracking, it has the merit of differentiating itself from its main competitors, which are Google and Bing…

The symbolic figure of 100 billion searches has finally been crossed…

This is another real victory for the DuckDuckGo search engine, but also for all those those who value their privacy on the web. Indeed, it was on the social network Twitter, on January 13, 2022, that the search engine communicated on the subject: DuckDuckGo has exceeded 100 billion searches!

Although this does not mean much for its main competitor, it is still a giant leap for this search engine that did not exist just a few years ago. Already a year ago, DuckDuckGo was already making a very big announcement, and this one is nothing out of the ordinary…

More and more daily searches

A year ago, the search engine DuckDuckGo communicated publicly to make a very big announcement. Indeed, the private search engine had exceeded the symbolic bar of 100 million searches per day. Of course, with a figure like this, we imagine that DuckDuckGo's ambitions should be more and more ambitious for the next few years.

However, the search engine has not yet communicated on its ambitions for 2022. On the other hand, we already know that DuckDuckGo users are not always satisfied with the search results offered. Numerous SEO referrers professionals, but also Internet users, were able to take the test… Unfortunately, even if this brings comfort and a certain serenity for private browsing, the results are not always up to par the expectations of Internet users, including in French.

Pressure on Google and Apple in favor of DuckDuckGo?

For several years now, Google and Apple have been at the heart of the news: the authorities are not the most lenient with the two organizations. With Apple, however, trying to make respect for privacy a real workhorse, this is no small feat for the company.

With an ambition to appear as the search engine opposite to Google, DuckDuckGo intends to make all the difference. On the other hand, we imagine that the competitors will not give this newcomer any gift…
