As I started doing some research today on what the top performing money transfer sites are I started in the most logical place by doing a search on Google for “money transfer”. For some reason the search I did used the Australian version of Google (haven’t figured out why yet) but the results that I received were quite odd.
The first two results on the page were Money Gram Australia (the domain was a .com.au) and then Money Gram for the US (it was the .com version of the Money Gram site).
Now I would have thought this makes it hard for the user of Google to believe there are any other sites that are strongly competing for money transfer site services as Google is saying that the best result is Money Gram no matter what?
Generally one of the things you need to be able to do when you are looking at whose money services you are going to use is to get as many different options put in front of you so that you can make a balanced decision on who you should be using. I guess this goes to show that Google still has a long way to go to show money transfer services in a balanced way when searching for money transfer on their search engine.
This also shows that review sites like this one are needed to allow people who are searching for the right place to use for money transfers online to see each of the different main sites that are available rather than just one.
If you are searching for money transfer sites and you’ve found your way here to OMT then have a look at the top navigation items that will give you detailed information on each of the sites that we recommend.
