For years, business owners and entrepreneurs have come to rely on Google as it has slowly but surely consigned other search engines to the Internet Scrapheap. Those that have stepped aside as the juggernaut passes by are struggling to keep pace and being forced into forming alliances, but even then it’s hard to see an end to Google’s dominance.
