It is much easier to travel from one place to another if you have amap. The Internet is so big that you are missing out on many of it ifyou rely just on Yahoo or Google.

These are some of the shortcuts to find the Information you need. Thisway you find what you need faster and easier.

Google Search Engine

Google is the best search engine, that means it provides the most up todate information. Make your first search on Google. To get betterresults do not use the quotation marks. They are useless.

If you are not satisfied with the Google results, you can then use theYahoo Search Box, which gives different results. You can also searchinformation inside blogs instead of websites. Such service worthvisiting is http://blogger.com to search information inside blogs.

Digital Products
Looking for digital products?

Clickbank.com is a huge marketplace, with different types of digitalproducts. Products like ebooks, videos, software, online courses andadvertising just to mention a few. Using
clickbank to purchase digital products is not only secure but very easy.

Clickbank is a trusted source, where you can search amongst thehundreds of products for instant download.

Yahoo Answers

Yahoo Answers is a place where people ask questions. It is very usefulto get quick answers about any category. Any one across the globe canparticipate both in asking and answering.

Google Answers is a bit different, and if you really want an answerfrom an expert you should test Google Answers. Contrary to YahooAnswers, this is not a free service. You pay a specific amount of cashdepending on your question. Every one can ask, but only experts fromthe Google team will answer your question.

Forums

Forums are a great place to get advice on almost anything. Forums givepeople the ability to ask their questions, get tips on new products andfind out what others think about certain products. You can find forumson any category by typing in the Google search box computer forum, orsoccer forum depending on your interest.

Groups

Buying a new product? You can now get feedback on a certain brand,company, software or any product. Same like forums, but a bit differentare Groups.

Google groups, Yahoo groups and Myspace groups are the best. They havethe highest number of users. Joining a group is free, and you can askquestions, reply and join
discussions about any topic. There exist groups related to cars,computers, software, business, games cheats, video renting, homeimprovement. Unlike Yahoo Answers, in a

Group you can join a discussion not just ask or answer questions.

Dictionary

There are free online dictionaries you can make use of anytime. Theseare very accurate and contain Thesaurus and other features. Mostpopular is http://dictionary.com

Directories

These are not much useful. The only directory that is worth using isthe Dmoz Directory. It consists of thousands of sites, under categoriesand sub categories. That is the Internet biggest directory. Eachwebsite is checked by a real human to make sure it is up to date.

Other directories make use of software to determine the quality of thesites. That is less useful that the method used in the Dmoz Directory.

Article Directories

Article directories are sites that contain only articles. Some of themtargeted to a specific category. You may find article directories thatcontain only sport related articles, business articles and so on.General directories contain articles on almost anything. If you arelooking for articles, it's better to search for article directories andthen search for articles within the directory.

Newsletters and Ecourses

You can find these useful too. These are also known as onlinemagazines. First you choose a newsletter that interest you, then youoptin to receive the news or information. The information is sent toyou via email, and you can optout anytime. Ecourses are more or lessvery similar
to newsletter.

Search for your favorite newsletter in Google. For example type in golfnewsletter and simple follow the instructions on the site to optin.Some newsletters send out their emails once every week, month or biweekly. Ecourses usually cover a certain topic in a series of messages,for example golf tricks or tips for removing adware or spyware. Usuallyecourses send their emails every day and take no longer than 7 dayseach.

Social Bookmarking sites

Social Bookmarking sites are becoming more popular especially if youare looking for stories and news. First find a popular socialbookmarking site using Google, and then search within the social site.

Finding images

Yahoo images section on the Yahoo home page give the best results.Google images show less results when you compare them. I suggest youuse Yahoo images if you are searching for images.

Videos

Youtube is by now popular more or less by everyone that uses theInternet. You need to watch videos? Check http://youtube.com website.Google Videos and Yahoo Videos both offer a free service like Youtube,so you can watch, share and find videos on the Internet.

Knowing how to find what you want is important as much as theinformation you need. Rely on these shortcuts to enjoy the Internetmuch more than before.
