South African (and other English language) Search Engines

I had wrongly assumed that I had it all covered

In the English speaking (developed) world, there is the US, UK, Canada, Australia ...and South Africa (as well as being a common tongue for many people worldwide). I had assumed that our website was well represented in the English speaking world, however I have just met our South African agent who asked whether we would be found on the South African search engines.

So to cut a long story short, I have just done a quick search and have found that there are several directories and a few search engines we are not listed on.

I have collated a few links as a starting point as I could not find any info from any previous posts. Does anyone have better stats on the South African scene? Our agent says its really taking off!

Perhaps there are other members who have info on the south african search engine scene, but I'm stumped.

Most of the customers I target come from other parts of the world, and until now, I had 'assumed' being in with the majors meant I could expect decent results.

Thanks for the info, I'm sure many of us will get some good use of out if. :)
