 There
are many keyword search engines on the Web, Wendi, but I'll tell you
about three of the more popular ones--Google, AltaVista, and Excite. |
|
 But
why do I need to know about so many different search engines, Will?
Can't I just pick one and use it all the time? |
|
| Not
all search engines are the same, Wendi. Each has different pages on its
server. So if you don't find what you're looking for using one search
engine, it's a good idea to try a different one. |
|
| I
guess that's kinda like shopping. If I don't find what I want in one
store, I look in a different one. Not all stores sell the same items. |
|
| Good
analogy, Wendi, although it amazes me how you can relate everything to
shopping! Now, let's take a look at the largest keyword search engine,
Google.
Google sorts pages by popularity and authority. |
|
| Where
do I find Google on the Web? |
|
| Just
click here to go to www.google.com.
While you're there, find the search box and read over Google's advanced search
tips. You'll use Google for searching later. |

know, hit the Back button to get back to this page when I'm done! |
