DuckDuckGo Search Results

DuckDuckGo has grown from a niche privacy alternative to a mainstream search engine with over 100 million daily searches. Unlike Google, DuckDuckGo doesn't track users or personalize results based on search history, which means its results represent a more neutral view of search rankings - what you see is what everyone sees. This makes DuckDuckGo results particularly interesting for SEO analysis because they remove the personalization variable that makes Google results inconsistent across users.
