Improve Search Engine Results: 5 Specific Tips

- by Jim Edwards

http://www.thenetreporter.com

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The search engines supposedly make our online lives easier by helping us find what we need, right? Well, if that’s true, why do as many as half of all queries made in the major search engines come back with results users rate as “unhelpful” at best?

In the end, search engines are simply software.

Whatever you put in determines what comes out. The better you get at telling the search engines what to give you, the more often you won’t get disappointed. When it comes to the great “info-vending machines” in the sky like Google and Yahoo!, how you enter your search terms counts as much or more than the terms themselves.

Avoid Single Keywords

Searching for a single keyword rates about as productive as trying to pick out a single grain of sand on a mile-long stretch of beach. Need a copy of Lincoln’s most famous speech? Searching for Abraham on Google will give you over 44 million pages to comb through (grab your coffee) on everyone from the prophet, to the president, to a pool guy in Toledo.

Searching for Abraham Lincoln Gettysburg Address speech on Google and you’ll find exactly what you need. When you want to find something, the more specific you get, the better your chances of finding it with least hassle.

Use “Quotes”

When your search results absolutely must contain a certain phrase, put quotes (“”) around it to tell the search engines to only return pages containing that exact phrase. A search for Firefox extensions will return all the pages that contain everything from the software you want to information about hair extensions.

In Google, simply by searching “Firefox extensions” in quotes, you eliminate half of results you might otherwise have to sort. Simply putting your search phrases in quotes will cut down massively on wasted time.

Use -, AND, OR

If you want the search engines to return results without a specific term, use the “-” sign to exclude the word or phrase. For example, a search for Revolutionary War generals -George would finally allow the other military leaders from 1776 to get some press.

If you want to give a logical choice for a search, then inputting “OR” between two words will find both iterations. For example, a search for Firefox extensions OR add-ons will net you both extensions and add-ons for the popular web browser. Finally, use “AND” to make sure the search engine returns results that contain all of the terms you enter.

For example, Firefox extensions free yields much less targeted results than Firefox extensions AND free. If you want even more targeted results, try combining techniques. A search for “Firefox extensions” AND free yields even more targeted results.

Proper Grammar Please

Capitalizing proper names and nouns will yield different results on almost any search. For example, searches for George Washington vs george washington will give you different results to sort.

Alternate Spellings

Like it or not, different people and cultures spell differently. On a recent trip to England I realized that a good portion of the English-speaking world buys “tyres” for their cars instead of “tires.” Online searches containing these two terms yield very different sites, but take you to the exact same types of products and services.

Overall, search engines like Google represent some of the most powerful research tools available online – and they’re all free! When searching for something, don’t get locked into just one search term, but try to approach it from various angles to find what you need. The better you get at telling search engines what you want, the better results you’ll receive in return.

4 Cool FireFox Add-Ons You Need

      - by Jim Edwards

© Jim Edwards - All Rights reserved
    http://www.thenetreporter.com
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Microsoft’s Internet Explorer Web browser still rates as the most popular and widely used browser for one simple reason: it rides along with every Windows installation.

But in response to security scares over the last few years, another browser took a bite out of Microsoft’s monopoly.

FireFox often represents the browser of choice for those who either dislike Microsoft (for whatever reason), or want more flexibility and functionality in their browser, specifically in the area of add-ons (also know as "plugins").

Add-ons (little programs that enhance a web browser’s functionality) can trick out your browser to help you do everything from upload website files to speed dialing your favorite websites.

The overwhelming majority of add-ons for FireFox come free of charge (though donations are appreciated). Just log on to http://addons.mozilla.org and check out the free add-ons you can snag.

Note that once you get to the page, the little programs you can run with FireFox are under the "extensions" link. Here are a few of our favorites here in my office - just search for them by name once you log on to the Mozilla site (or use the links below).

** Forecastfox **
"Get international weather forecasts from AccuWeather.com, and display it in any toolbar or statusbar with this highly customizable and unobtrusive extension." That’s a fancy way of saying you can always know what the weather reports say just by glancing down at your browser’s lower right corner.

This makes very handy tool to keep an eye out for thunderstorms or remind yourself that a sunny day awaits when you finish up a marathon session on your computer.
http://tinyurl.com/yqv54y

** SpeedDial **
Everyone uses bookmarks or "favorites" at one point or another. But those who use them frequently create a problem for themselves. Every time you want to log on to your favorite sites, you must wade through dozens, hundreds, even thousands of links to find what you want.

Enter the "SpeedDial" add-on that helps you organize your most frequently used websites into a "dashboard" you can customize. You can even organize multiple speed dial directories around groups of web pages (business resources, shopping sites, etc.).
http://tinyurl.com/2hhn7a

** FireFTP **
Anyone who owns a website needs the ability to upload files to their hosting account. You can either install a standalone FTP program, or you can use this nifty little browser add-on that turns FireFox into a neat little FTP utility.

"FireFTP is a free, secure, cross-platform FTP client for Mozilla Firefox which provides easy and intuitive access to FTP servers." I really found this add-on helpful in my own business when it comes to fast access to the files on my websites.
http://tinyurl.com/yv56ru

** Download Statusbar **
One annoying feature of Firefox involves the download window that opens up every time you download a file from the web. This can get in the way and actually disrupt your activity.

Enter the "Download Statusbar" add-on, which promises "View and manage downloads from a tidy statusbar - without the download window getting in the way of your web browsing."

Even though this add-on does make downloading more convenient, make sure to read the instructions before using it just to make sure you don’t get frustrated.

Jim Edwards here with a time-sensitive update…

Last week I unveiled my all-new "Mini-Site Creator v2.0" coaching program, e-class and software suite.

This breakthrough new system literally provides everything you need to get your own money-making mini-sites up, running and profiting in no time flat - and with 95% of the heavy lifting done by my new "Mini-Site Machine" Software Suite.

=========================================================
Get a peek at the new Mini-Site Creator v2.0 here:
http://www.minisitecreator2.com
=========================================================

I didn’t want you to miss out on this program and limited bonuses because I might have left out something or didn’t answer a question - especially since you only have until 10:00am (Eastern) *tomorrow* March 11 to get in on all the live training and available bonuses!

That’s why I put together a list of "frequently asked questions" in this email to dispel any confusion and answer any remaining questions you might have.

————–
QUESTION #1 - What exactly is "Mini-Site Creator v2.0"?
————–

Mini-Site Creator is the gold standard training for anyone who wants to painlessly put up money-making mini websites without having to be a computer geek, buying expensive software or paying crazy fees to a webmaster.

"MSC v1.0" has been a best-seller for the last four years, with over 4,000 satisfied students. And now, I’m revamping the entire program to include my never-before-released pushbutton proprietary software that does 95% of the hard work FOR YOU!

From selling products to providing services, for total newbies and advanced marketers - it’s all included in my new "Mini-Site Creator v2.0" LIVE e-class. If you can turn on your computer and "copy and paste", you can use my system with success!

Plus, for a limited time, you can pick up 7 extra bonuses, ranging from "how to get traffic" training to FREE publicity from me to free website hosting professionally designed, 60+ exclusive software templates - and even an entire new $2,995.00 video training program I’ve never released before!

In short, over $5,261.00 of bonuses included just for saying "maybe" to my totally proven system.

————–
QUESTION #2 - Do I need any special software?
————–

EVERYTHING you need to succeed with mini-sites is provided for you in the new Mini-Site Creator v2.0 package.

You’ll get all of my never-before released mini-site machine software, including: Sales Page Wizard, Opt-in Page Wizard, Most-Burning Question Wizard, Exit Page Redirector, Affiliate Link Cloaker Pro 4.0, my proprietary HTML editor and FTP program and more.

That’s a total of $1,285 of custom software - completely included in your package. So you won’t have go buy ANY other software to click, post and profit from mini-sites!

————–
QUESTION #3 - Are there any monthly fees involved with your new training and software?
————–

Unlike most other Internet marketing-related ’software’ sites out there that charge you every single month to have access to the software and keep it working, you only have a one-time investment into this program and you can use the software forever (assuming of course that you remain a customer and good standing and don’t refund, LOL).

How great is that?

You’re getting into this course and access to the software for an outrageously low price (a price, by the way, that I had a knockdown argument about with one of my business partners who was screaming at me "Jim, you’re selling your course too cheap!")

————–
QUESTION #4 - What if I already have mini-sites up?
————–

Simple. "Mini Site Creator v2.0" and the "Mini Site Machine" software will help you do more, faster and with more automation.

You’ll get the same or better results faster!

————–
QUESTION #5 - What if I can’t make the live classes?
————–

That’s exactly why I have a special student area set up. You’ll have access to the replays and videos from ALL of the trainings within 24-48 hours. So if you can’t make the actual live webinars, no worries. You can access the full replays, software and more in the student area!

————–
QUESTION #6 - Can I just wait and get the CDs later?
————–

Sorry, but there will be *NO* CDs released of this down the road. The course will be 100% delivered online.

Not only does this allow me to get material to you at lightning speed and keep your home or office less cluttered, but it also allows me to keep it updated and current.

Plus it’s also good for the environment…considering plastic products take 1,000 years to decompose. I don’t think a mini-site takes that long.

Considering most people are on high-speed Internet these days, it makes delivery faster and easier for *everyone* involved. And if you’re on dial-up, of course it’ll take longer for the videos and replays to load (but it’s totally do-able and shouldn’t be an obstacle for your success.)

————–
QUESTION #7 - I’m skeptical - do you have any guarantee?
————–

You bet! Your success in using my system is completely guaranteed. In fact, here’s my total satisfaction guarantee:

"Attend The First 2 Sessions Absolutely 100% Risk-Free!"

Even after all this, if you’re not sure if the "Mini-Site Creator v2.0" e-course is right for you… no problem!

Take Sessions 1 and 2 completely at our risk. Take the first self-study video lesson online… attend the LIVE Webinar Coaching session, try out the tools we supply and provide (software, templates, videos and more) and if you’re not 100% happy and convinced THIS is what will finally help you get a foothold on the Internet and start making your Internet business a reality, just let us know and we’ll refund your entire tuition… no questions asked.

Once the 3rd Session is delivered, you agree to finish the course since (which you’d be crazy not to do!) since you already got a no-risk trial of 25% of the training!

Is that fair or what?

=========================================================
Go here now for all the details:
http://www.minisitecreator2.com
==========================================================

The bottom line is this…I’ve been marketing online for 10 years now and I know exactly what it takes to be successful in this industry. It’s not often that a new product or tool like this comes along and truly makes doing this business easier.

I’ve even included some some killer bonuses that are worth more than your small investment in this training program (included a *real* $2,995.00 product creation bonus that only 27 people have EVER seen before).

I did all this just so I could remove even the smallest roadblock you might feel was in your way for trying out what is sure to be one of the most popular, ‘how to’ programs in the history of the Internet marketing world.

With "Mini-Site Creator v2.0" it doesn’t matter if you’re selling products and services or just looking to put up a personal site - the tools in this package will eliminate any fear of succeeding online and make the process as painless as possible! (The software you get does virtually all of the heavy lifting for you.)

Visit this page now for all the details:

Like I said at the beginning, we wanted to send you this email to clear up any questions you had, but if you still have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my support team at EbookfireSupport.com — they’ll be happy to help.

Please check it out now while all the bonuses are still available, and while the price is still a steal.

Catch you in the ’student area’ tomorrow!

Bad news…

Tonight’s "Mini-Site Boot Camp Basic Training" webinar is now totally booked and sold out. (I tried to warn you!)

=> http://www.IGottaTellYou.com/mini-site-bootcamp.html

It seems the topic touched a nerve, because we’ve now got over 1379 people registered.

And with only 500 spots available for tonight’s webinar at 7pm (ET), we had to call our conference call company and beg for 250 more lines.  But even with 750 spots (and tons more people already registered), we’re still going to be completely booked.

———————–
However, the good news is you can STILL get in!…
———————–

Since access to this LIVE webinar is a on first-come, first-served basis - those who get on the line EARLY tonight will be guaranteed a spot.  (And those who snooze will miss out.)

Go here to sign-up:
=> http://www.IGottaTellYou.com/mini-site-bootcamp.html

Then make sure you call in and log onto the webinar 10-15 minutes early so you get a LIVE spot.

By the way, even though Mini-Site Creator v2.0 launches this Friday, March 7, this webinar will be anything but a pitch for the new live training program. 

In fact, tonight’s *all-content* webinar won’t even focus on Mini-Site Creator v2.0.  It doesn’t need to…

Considering we have over 3,256+ people on the Early Bird Priority Notification List, over 81,931 on my other lists, and several hundred people who emailed in to our private gmail account saying they wanted a super early link to buy…I don’t think we have to worry about selling out this special program before it starts next week. 

And another new, fun thing…

——————-
ONE FINAL SUPER-COOL VIDEO FOR YOU!
——————-

Out of the hundreds of Mini-Site Creator v2.0 comments on our blog and in our help desk, a lot of people keep asking (and rightfully so), "What makes Mini-Site Creator v2.0 different from v1.0?" or "What exactly IS in Mini-Site Creator v2.0"?

That’s why I *just* posted a new video for you explaining everything that is Mini-Site Creator v2.0…and how it is *drastically* different and updated from v1.0.

http://www.igottatellyou.com/mscv20-revealed.html <= Video

Plus, I also decided at the last minute (okay, this morning really <smile>) to add in a few super-cool "quick-action" bonuses…so you can find out about those in this new video too.

Because I know many will be scrambling over the next few days to grab the limited 1-on-1 ‘hand-holding’ spots available (and because the sales letter is pretty dang long) this new video should give you a headstart on understanding everything you’re getting.

Watch the video here:
http://www.igottatellyou.com/mscv20-revealed.html <= Video

Things are heating up - we’re less than 48 hours away!

Hope to see you tonight,

Jim Edwards

P.S. - Again, we’re TOTALLY overbooked for tonight’s webinar so it’s completely first-come, first-served. If you have NOT signed up yet, you can still get in.  Just make sure you get on very early.

Here’s the registration page for the free webinar tonight:
=> http://www.IGottaTellYou.com/mini-site-bootcamp.html

(If you’ve signed up already, then be sure to get on 10-15
minutes early so you get a spot!)

P.P.S. - If you want to get a sneak peek at the all-new Mini-Site Creator v2.0, be sure to watch my revealing video I just posted on my blog:

http://www.igottatellyou.com/mscv20-revealed.html <= Video

And if you scroll down underneath the video, you can get on the early bird list.  This gives you a big 2-hour headstart for one of the limited personal 1-on-1 coaching spots available on Friday. (Plus a ‘backdoor’ way to actually get access TOMORROW night!)
