Do you Google? 5 easy ways to enhance your search and really find what you are looking for
Do you Google? 5 easy ways to enhance your search and really find what you are looking for
Internet without searching is like a car without wheels. You won’t get too far. Using the same analogy – would you rather have a car with new tires or tires that you found on a junk yard? Both would work, but the new ones will just work much better. And the same applies to the way you search. But don’t worry, to go from junk yard searches to brand new Michelin’s won’t cost you anything. All you need is to ask Google nicely. Here’s 5 simple queries that will make Google cooperate nicely.
1. Enter keywords you want to exclude from your search.
Syntax: search terms -word to exclude
Consider this – you are looking for online marketing opportunities. Entering simple ‘online marketing opportunities’ into Google will give you results for everything that is even remotely related to online marketing opportunities. But what if you only want to see results for affiliate marketing, GPT, e-commerce etc but not for MLM? You can refine your search like this: online marketing opportunities -MLM. This will tell Google to exclude anything related to MLM and display results only for all other online marketing opportunities. One thing to remember – the syntax uses a space between your search keyword and the minus sign. If you do not include the space, it will only act as hyphenated word.
2. Search for exact phrase.
Syntax: “keyword phrase”
If you are looking for an exact phrase, without substituting any part of the phrase with synonyms, and do not want Google to insert any other words between your phrase, simply put double quotes around you phrase. By doing so, Google will only display results that match your phrase 100%, and match the word order of your phrase exactly.
3. Search for exact match.
Syntax: +keyword
This is similar to double quotes, but allows you to specify a single word from your phrase that you want to match 100%. Consider this: affiliate marketing opportunities +NY. The results will match NY exactly and will not use any synonyms for the keyword NY. It will not display results where NY is spelled out as New York, NYC etc. One thing to remember: The plus sign mus be right before the word you want to match, with no space in between. If you place a space between the + and the word, it will act as query addition, not as exact match.
4. Substitute words with wildcard.
Syntax: *
Many times, you do not know the exact phrase. In that case, you can substitute parts of the * wildcard. This can be also useful if you want to include several terms into one phrase. Consider this: affiliate * opportunities. This will result in Google substituting the * sign with any words. For example, it will display searches that include word ‘online’, ‘offline’, ‘marketing’, ‘money making’ etc.
5. Search within a website.
Syntax: keyword site:NameOfTheWebsite
With this search you can search for your keyword within a specific web site. The search results will not display any results from any other site, even if the results are the same (for example, the same article posted on different web sites). Consider this: affiliate marketing site:WarriorForum. This displays all results that include keywords affiliate marketing from WarriorForum web site. Normally, you can perform these searches on forums themselves, however, this syntax works also for sites and blogs that do not have search implemented in them. And there is one more cool trick you can do with this – you can search within all web sites with specific extension. For example affiliate marketing site:.edu will display results for affiliate marketing only from .edu web sites.
Use these five simple queries, combine them and experiment with them, and soon enough, you and Google searches will be in sync. You will save lots of time sorting through results you were not looking for. And as we all know – time is money.

“google Pr” How To Calculate Google Page Rank? I Am Not Looking For Formula But The Technique They Use?
I have great confusion with my colleagues. I agree, back links from niche sites that have PR greater than the PR of our site help to raise PR. But my question is when Google calculate the PR which Page Rank they consider. The PR of the domain or the PR of the page where the link is situated?

Google SEO services make a claim that they will for sure make it happen for you. And with a name like Google it would not be difficult to believe.
We know that the internet marketing business is a hypercompetitive business and that it needs intense focus, expertise and understanding of the subject. To make it through your intensity is not all enough you need to be updated as well. And who can be more updated than Google. Google SEO services know exactly how the systems work, how search engine algorithms develop and how the robot works in total. Search Engine Optimization services are there in the market to provide the best possible service with the best possible results. Google SEO services are so confident that they are claiming too get you to the position they promise, and that position is no menial, they talk of the top 10.
Almost 85%of the web traffic is originated at and by these web search engines and they are responsible for the direction. They are well aware of the most effective and latest keywords, they have a whole database of the information on might wish to have. And this database they would employ to the upliftment of your business. If you are in the business, and not in the top most, then you are wasting your time.

And all this they offer at nominal rates. SEO services claim that they would not take the money if they are not able to get you what they promise. They ask for half of the down payment now and the half later, that is after you have achieved your business goal. They offer their services according to two plans â the performance based plan in which the customer does not have to trust much on the service. They can just pay what they get. Other is the money back plan, in which the customer believes that Google would make it for them, and believe me there has been no money back till now!
Social Media Marketing Training- The Two Things That Everyone is Looking For in Social Media
When you think about it, there are only 2 things that people are looking for in Social Media. It does not matter if you are in real estate, mortgage banking, insurance, or even in marketing of some type. People are always looking for something.
You just need to make sure that you know what those things are.
Most people in the Social Media arena are progressive thinkers and progressive people. Most are ahead of the curve in the web 2.0 world, and most have a focus of being ahead of the pack. The early adopters of Social Media, which I am one, started on the Social media scene 5 years ago. There as not much there, but what was there, was used as best as it could be used.
People then, and people now, are still the same. They always will be. But in the Social media arena, they are looking for 2 things that will help them.
Help them feel better about whom they are. Help them feel better about what they do. And help them feel better about where their life is going. All people are in some way looking for that forward focus. That is why in the social scene, there are 2 things people seem to be seeking more than anything.
Only two.
1) CONNECTION.
Most people in Web 2.0 ville are looking for Connection. They want to connect with people, information, new ideas, new trainings, new events, new groups, new videos, but whatever they are looking for, they want to CONNECT.
Connection is part of the culture we grew up in. People in real estate understand the person want to feel emotionally connected to a house before they purchase it. People want to feel connected to a car before they decide to buy it. And people want to feel connected to something before they start building that bridge of trust with you. You must make an effort to connect in a way that they will respond to in social media.
IN Social Media Marketing, Connection is NOT Correction as so many people think. They are NOT looking to be told that their life is not any good, or is lacking. They are not looking to be told their home is too small for them. They want to Connect to something or someone that will make them feel better about themselves and where their life is headed. You do that in conversations on twitter, facebook, myspace, orkut, moli, LinkedIn, and the like.
They want to feel GOOD about a conversation with you, no matter the social network. They want to feel FOCUSED ON and Tied into a conversation that will help them feel more a part of something that can increase and enlarge their life and future.
CONNECTING with people is simply reaching out and taking their hand over the internet and letting them feel PLUGGED IN to something and someone that can help you connect to new possibilities and to new destinies.
THAT is simple and the truth. Keep the Connection authentic and real, and they will listen to what your conversation is about and start drawing closer to you and your message.
2) Elevation.
People want to feel like they are being lifted higher in their life. They want to feel like their life is going somewhere and means something. We all do. We all are looking for that special feeling that we are special, and as trite as that sounds, it is the truth.
What can you do to create that feeling that they truly believe they are walking on air?
Life them up by noticing something g they said that has helped you.
Compliment them.
Give them a kind remark about their efforts in what they are doing in Social Media.
Ask questions they might know the answer to show you appreciate their knowledge..
Send them new ideas on their passion.
Notice something about their conversation that you can totally appreciate and let them know about it.
Empower them with encouragement.
Thank them for learning something from them.
WHY?
It will make them glad they talked to you in Social Media. And they will remember you the next message, tweet, or conversation. They will move from the Awareness stage, to the Appreciation stage in Social Media.
As a realtor, you will see that they can start to trust you, and even start referring possible clients to you as people they know are moving out or into – your area.
Remember- it is NOT what you said. But how you made them feel by Connecting with them and Elevating their hope and future in the Social media Marketing arena.

You will learn more in one week about internet marketing than you ever will anywhere else. It’s simple and easy to understand too.
Using one techinique I learned in their Google Adwords class I earn $925 commission on a one sale. The PPC that made the sale cost me eight cents. Believe or not I made that $925 on my very first Google Ad Campaign using a keyword technique I learned. I was just experimenting for a little for fun and hit pay dirt on my first ad.
The only big drawback to WA is the price. It costs $39 a month to be a member.
I know that to some people, $39 a month is a fortune, but look at it this way. It’s a small price to pay to learn how to possibly make a fortune.
I bought a yearly membership in my second month because it was cheaper, and I could obviously afford it with the profit I made on my first sale.
A month to month $39 membership is available so you can cancel any time. You might find that a couple a months membership will be all you need or you might become a member for a year like me. In 2 months I went from 0$ to $$$$.
I never in my life thought in a million years would that this chef would give up his 30 year career to become an internet marketer.
Thanks for reading my article and if you are interested in WA there in a link below for you. There is also cool video you can watch on WA home page that shows all the features that you will find inside. That video sold me and I become a member right after viewing it. Perhaps you might too.
