Google Search Basics : Search Made Easier !

Search is simple : Just type whatever comes to mind in the search box, hit Enter or Click
on the Google Search button, and Google will search the web for pages that are relevant to your
querry.

Most of the time you'll find exactly what you were looking for with just a basic query. However,
the following tips can help you refine your technique to make the most of your Searches. Which
could lead to better and quicker results.

Throughout the article, I'll use Square Brackets[ ] to signal queries, so
[black and white] is one query, while [black] and [white] are two queries.


Some basic facts :-

  • Every word matters. Generally, all the words you put in the query will be used.
  • Case Insensitive. Search is case insensitive. So, [one] and [OnE] are same.
  • Punctuation. Punctuation is generally ignored. That is you can search for special characters.
Guidelines for better search :-

  • Keep it simple. If you're looking for a particulaar company, just enter its name, or as much of its name as you can recall. If you're looking for a particualar concept, place, or product, start with its name. If you're looking for a game restaurant, just enter the game name and the version you want. Most queries do not require advanced operators or unusual syntax. As Simple as Good, is the basic rule.
  • Page layout. Think how the page you're looking for will be written. A search engine is not a human, its a program that matches the words you give to pages on the web. User the words that are most likely to appear on the page.
How to read Search Results :-

Google's goal is to provide you with results that are clear and easy to read. The image below points out four features that are important to understan the search result page.

search results

1. The Title : The first line of any search result is the title of the webpage.

2. The Snippet: A description of or an excerpt from the webpage.

3. The URL : The webpage's Uniform Resource Locator address.

4. Cached Link: A link to an earlier version of this page, stored in Google Memory.


All these features are important in determining whether the page is what you need. The

title is what the author of the page designated as the best short description of the page.


The snipped is Google's algorithmic attempt to extract just the part of the page most relevant to your query. The URL tells about the site in general.

Google Search Basics :


Search is simple: just type whatever comes to mind in the search box, hit Enter or Click on the Google Search button, and Google will search the web for pages that are relevant to your query.

Most of the time you'll find exactly what you were looking for with just a basic query. However the following tips can help you refine your technique to make the most of your searches.

Throughout the article, we'll use square brackets [ ] to signal queries, so [ black and white ] is one query, while [ black ] and [ white ] are two.

1. Every word matters. Generally, all the words you put in the query will be used. There are

some exceptions.

2. Search is always Case Insensitive. Searching for [ new york times ] is the same as

searching for [ New York Times ].

3. With some exceptions, punctuation is ignored (that is, you can't search for @#$%^&*()=+[]\

and other special characters).

Guidelines for better search

Keep it simple. If you're looking for a particular company, just enter its name, or as much of

its name as you can recall. If you're looking for a particular concept, place, or product, start with

its name. If you're looking for a pizza restaurant, just enter pizza and the name of your town or

your zip code. Most queries do not require advanced operators or unusual syntax. Simple is

good.

2. Think how the page you are looking for will be written. A search engine is not a

human, it is a program that matches the words you give to pages on the web.

Use the words that are most likely to appear on the page. For example, instead of

saying [ my head hurts ], say [ headache ], because that's the term a medical page will use.

The query [ in what country are bats considered an omen of good luck? ] is very clear

to a person, but the document that gives the answer may not have those words. Instead, use

the query [ bats are considered good luck in ] or even just [ bats good luck ], because

that is probably what the right page will say.

3. Describe what you need with as few terms as possible. The goal of each word in a query is to focus it further. Since all words are used, each additional word limits the results. If you limit too much, you will miss a lot of useful information. The main advantage to starting with fewer keywords is that, if you don't get what you need, the results will likely give you a good indication of what additional words are needed to refine your results on the next search. For example, [ weather cancun ] is a simple way to find the weather and it is likely to give better results than the longer [ weather report for cancun mexico ].

  • Choose descriptive words. The more unique the word is the more likely you are to get relevant results. Words that are not very descriptive, like 'document,' 'website,' 'company,' or 'info,' are usually not needed. Keep in mind, however, that even if the word has the correct meaning but it is not the one most people use, it may not match the pages you need. For example, [ celebrity ringtones ] is more descriptive and specific than [ celebrity sounds ].

What is Blogging ?
Blogging is simply a way of communication on the internet.

Now,
taking the two words, one by one :-

Communication :-
You can communicate about any thing it might
be your personal life that you want to share with your friends,
or it might be some kind of information on a topic or a number of
topics.


Internet :-

Internet being a sea of users like us who surf internet
will be your targeted audience. And its all definitely is FREE !!!


Few years before, people used to follow many other
ways to communicate online, such as diaries, chronicles, group e-mails
and bulletin board, and many more.

But all that gave a limited audience(visitors on the site), as you had
to invite them first to view your information.

As the Internet was establishing all over the world, from the small
towns to big ciities, from villagies to tribes,
the Internet users wanted more easier way to share their info
All Over The World !

In the 90's, the begining of Blogs, there were diaries or journals
where the people make their comments, and communicate with
the blog owner. Now, there are infinite kinds of blogs. Like Corporate
blogs, marketing blogs, private or personal blogs, blogs that contains
the information about other sites or some programmes on the internet.

== Taking Imagination as the Sword, the creativity as the Guard, You can fight
till the end ==

A blog mainly consists of a Title, Heading, Body, Post date, Comments of the
users, and many more.
Very appealing thing is that they are always customizable, you can update and modify
very easiliy with their WYSIWYG editor, which stands for WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET.
With this editing tool, blogging is completely a fun.

Stress Relieving Therapy.



You can create a blog on whatever topic you like, you can use the template(the layout of your blog)
or you can say the graphical theme, which both come free.
Just surf the internet for the possibilites, and you will find the infinite of them.

There are a lot of sites who offer you free space to host your blog, I use Blogger.com
