I got the skills to pay the bills

Finding high-quality information on the web can be made quick and easy when using Google. Most often Google is my first choice out of all the search engines and here is why. Number of searches –Google, 59.80 %/ yahoo, 21.30%/ ask Jeeves, 4.21%. These percentages deal with the amount of people searching for any sort of information on the web. I think it is very clear that Google is the most popular, and there is no surprise why. Here is how the Google search engine works. Firstly it picks out key concepts by taking specific words or it sees to look if all the words you type in occur more than once, and if they all come up in one sentence, how often the words occur, etc. The links at the top are how often the link is searched by other sites on the Internet
Google automatically incorporates AND into their searches, which is nifty! Some searches pay Google for specific placement. Many people pay for ads on Google, in yellowish box or on the right hand side. When looking for academic searches on Google, many of those links will be way down on the list because academic and or scholarly searches are often less valued by the general public. Some of the links will have biases so you don’t know if they are the best choice. However, advanced search is a way to narrow your search down to get more specific searches and links. A fun fact, National Geographic is not considered a scholarly reference. So, advance searches help for sure. Directories from libraries, are often good sites and can be compared to, yellow pages, so Chris Nolan says. I also learned that if .com is found in the url, then it is a commercial site. If there is a .gov in the url, then it means it's a federal government website. Also if there is a .org in the url, then it means that it's a non-profit organization site. This will help for future reference when doing certain research papers for class.
