"Free ebooks", "free reports", and "free manuals" are the terms which almost every newbie needs to start with the internet domain. Most of them don't know that there are thousands web pages which contain exactly what they are looking for.
... but they can't reach them until they know how to sift free tools, free ebooks, and free resources out of billions of web pages.
Google has all the ability to help you find exactly what you want. However, it's completely blowing your money and time if you can't instruct Google to fetch the right free tools and free resources out of its heart.
Here I am not going to talk about science of search engine. But you will discover a few very simple principles which can not only save your time and money but also bring the right free ebooks, free tools and free resources. You may have different interests such as honest home based businesses or reliable small business opportunities but it will not fail if you don't know how big players like Google and Altavista behave.
It is not over emphasized to say that if you know how to search Google you shall find exactly within seconds what you are looking for. As a bonus you shall not roll from one corner to another like a stone.
Searching for free ebooks with resale rights?
Unless you don't know what keyword you need to use for a particular piece of information, you can't land at the right page during your search of the search engines enlisted page. The best way select a right keyword is to imagine what 'exact' phrase the author/webmaster might have used to describe your required information.
Let's search for free ebooks with resale rights...
Start searching with this keyword: free ebooks with resale rights
You will get thousands of enlisted pages containing words free, ebooks, and resale rights in different combinations. If you are lucky you will find your required product at the top, if not than you may conclude there is no such thing that you are looking for.
It is not true!
Try again by narrowing the search: "free ebooks with resale rights". (With double quotes please...)
You may get a few results or find no web page at all. The sole reason is that you have extremely restricted your search this keyword. You are instructing Google that it should fetch only pages which contain exact phrase "free ebooks with resale rights". If no webpage contains this exact phrase, your search shall be a failure.
But failure is no option with Search Engines. Recall my words that you should put yourself in the webmasters' shoes to find out what he might have written at website to describe your required product. Right now I can think of "free ebooks" and "resale rights"
Why not search with two keywords instead of one such as "free ebooks" and "resale rights". (Both with double quotes please...)
Use this syntax: "free ebooks" "resale rights"
Now you may get plenty of pages containing free ebooks with resale rights.
You should brainstorm exact phrase that not only describe your need but also of the webmaster. It is the first principle to find out the best results from search engines within any given span of time.
Finding True Money Making Ideas with and without quotes
Every search engine visitor finds different results when he searches a phrase with double quotes and without them. When you are looking for true money making ideas, your unquoted search shall find thousands of the pages listed. However, most of them shall be irrelevant. In fact you have instructed the search engine to bring all the pages which contain true money making ideas in any combination.
So it's the best practice always to quote your keyword with quotes such as "true money making ideas" before clicking Google to bring the information for you. It shall not only save your time but also resources of the search engines to search for useless keywords.
The search of "true money making ideas" as a phrase is just an example. Otherwise you may be interested in any specific idea of money making. You may be looking for money making ideas from stocks, money making opportunities from home or making money on computer etc.
Yes you need to decide what kind of money making ideas to get the exact result within seconds...
Using Operators to Search for the Best Traffic Tools
Now suppose you are looking for method to bring a lot of the best quality traffic to your website.
What will you search for this phrase?
There is every possibility that you may find hundreds of such sites which claim to bring highly targeted traffic for some charges. But if you are looking for the both paid and free options then you should use a few operators such as OR and "-".
Let's search for: "free traffic tools" OR "the best traffic tools" OR "free traffic system" (Please capitalize the operator OR)
This search shall bring all web pages which shall contain any of the three phrases in double quotes. This shall save you for one search instead of three related ones. Searching without OR operator shall fetch the pages containing all the three phrases within double quotes.
How to deny a search phrase?
You can also use "-" operator to deny for the pages which contain a phrase which you are not looking for but which is very relevant.
Suppose while surfing you find a very good product contained in a package but you don't need all the products included in that package. Moreover the price of that package is too high to afford.
What will you do in such case? You can search for that single product to see if it is available stand alone.
Searching for only "product name" will again give you the pages selling that package.
You can solve this problem by using a simple trick. You need the page which contain that product 's name but that page shouldn't contain the package's name. In google language you can use this syntax to fetch the pages exactly as you want:
"product name" -"package name"
Searching within a website:
Sometime you find a very good website with a lot of information but you don't find searching facility to find out a specific information about some topic. Google comes to help you in such cases with the latest edited information.
Suppose you are looking for money making opportunities at home within a website which registers internet scams. You can use this syntax:
You can also use Google for searching in a specific website only. Suppose you want to search for "money making ideas" in the website (http://www.anydomain.com) then you can use this syntax:
"money making opportunities at home" site (www.anydomain.com)
