Metacrawlers

Meta Search Engine Characteristics

A meta search engine itself does not index or rank web sites. Instead, it queries multiple web sites simultaneously and will deliver a page of combined results of the best sites from each search engine. The higher you rank on each individual search engine, the higher your site will rank on a meta search engine.
Note: You don't need to submit your site to metacrawlers as they query other search engines to get results.
