An example of this would be a search string like " maps, Africa, poverty," This could be a very legitimate search if you were doing a paper on areas of poverty in Africa. Unfortunately if search e-source your using is also automatically using Boolean tools your search results will all have to contain words "maps and Africa and poverty" thus narrowing your results down far beyond anything you really wanted. (see list of automatic Bolean search e-sources at end of this article)

What does all this really mean for you and your searches? Well actually it means quite a bit. If your unaware of how search e- source is looking for your information you'll probably not end up with all of most pertinent information available.

If you are aware of power of Boolean tools your searches will now be a much less painful experience. You'll spend far less time searching, and you'll return far more relevant results.

"Automatic Boolean search engines are AltaVista, AOL Search, Google, HotBot, Lycos, MSN Search, and Northern Light."

* Visibility is part of game.The more visible and reliable you are , more people will trust you.Trust is a big part of making it online.Would you spend your hard earn money with someone who is not trustworthy ? It took me some time to realise and accept this fact.

* To receive you have to give.When I first started out , all I was interested in was receiving.As I got more deeply involved , I realised that doing so was setting me up for failure.You have to give your customers and readers something in order for them to return favor.This also took some time to sink into my thick skull.

The above are just a few things you will need to know when doing business online.With this pointers , you will at least be at a better starting point than others.Somehow I just keep thinking , what have would happen if I had known these things at beginning ?

To your success and mine .....,

Nicholas
