This `hands on' course is for anyone who needs to get the best
possible information out of the Internet - anyone who needs to save
time and target their research.
As the Internet grows in size, people are becoming overwhelmed by the
results of their searches. How do you add precision without running
the risk of losing a useful lead? All searches are different. This
course shows you how to choose the most appropriate place to start -
a directory, a search engine, or both combined. The course also gives
you inside information on narrowing down your request. For instance,
do you keep getting an unwanted site dominating your results?
The trainer is Danny Sullivan, a writer with practical knowledge of
the Internet gained working as a consultant on both sides of the
Atlantic. He is editor of Search Engine Watch (`the classic archive'
- Internet Magazine).
In just one afternoon you will:
Discover how to quickly narrow or broaden your searches
Understand how to add power and precision to your searches
Recognise the usefulness of Search Engine Maths
Learn to make the Internet your servant, not your master
Plus an in-depth look at each of the major search services, Danny
Sullivan answers these and many other questions in this concise
seminar.
