Many search engines are available in on the web but most of the webmasters are using Google. I want to know that why webmasters are emphasizing on Google for doing SEO and why not other search engines? And, how they do SEO effectively only in Google and get the result?

For me, it is a matter of work vs. reward. Google is the most widely used search engine, but most SEO techniques seem to work equally well for Google and others. I can get the most benefit out of simply targeting Google and allowing the others to index.

Google is more popular than other search engines. But, it depends on your target market also. If you are targeting Taiwan, then I'll suggest Yahoo!

Google has the most number of searches per day than the other search engines combined thus you are targeting those searches. But you can also optimize your website specifically for yahoo or bing. It all depends on your preference.

Google is the dominant search engine within the market today. This explains why web developers and designers tend to have a proclivity toward then. They also provide fairly straightforward documentation, in regards to best practices, through the Webmaster Tools.

Additionally, many search engines tend to emulate the methodology Google utilizes, specifically, keyword placement and saturation, as well as some type of page ranking, dependent upon your link quality (in and out). So, by developing for Google, you're really developing for everyone. It is just simpler to say Google, because everyone knows what you are talking about. To Google is almost synonymous with To Search.

Also, Google is the most forward thinking search engine - it's algo is designed to find the most relevant and best sites - and is constantly developing so that old SEO Tricks (blackhat) no longer fool it, and ultimately the public, so as a webmaster if your SEO is working on Google you know that your content, design and marketing methods are of a worthy standard.
