Re(search) is the second most popular activity to do online.71% of people search for information online.
Of that 40% use searching as a precursor to shopping online.

Search engine math
1. two or more words e.g. “golf+carts”
2. exclude words i.e. “Hilary Clinton – Bill Clinton”
3. Exact match – # “pound sign” i.e. cat# will find the word cat and only
the word “cat”
4. Wildcards – cat* would yield the results “ cathedral, Catherine the
great, cats, catastrophe”

5. Boolean “or”- rome or Milan
6. most importantly, be specific as possible

What to watch out for when searching online:

Organic search/Natural – The actual “unbiased” results that come from a search request.

Inorganic search/unnatural SEM- The results that advertisers pay to be listed on. They are typically differentiated from that of the natural search by either being shaded or bold or off to the side. Most ‘sponsored search’ results are indicated as such.

If it were not for volunteering, during college, I wouldn’t be doing web design today. It is the foundation of who I am today and I am forever in debt for volunteering. It has not only given me the outlet to be involved, but it has also given me the building blocks for a career.

I was a guest on T-3: Trends, Tips, and Topics for Everyday Living on WVOX Radio AM 1460 on July 8th 2003. Being that e-mail is the top activity of Internet users online, spam has quickly become as prevalent.

I discussed ways to combat spam from your inbox which includes:

1. Filtering your messages
2. Optimizing Your Inbox
3. Keeping you address book current and updated
4. Turn the Bulk Mail/JunkMail filter on.
