Internet: Mamma.com: A Great Alternative To Google And Yahoo!

Mamma.com: A Great Alternative To Google And Yahoo!

Written by Dean Phillips

In keeping with a promise I made to my readers, here's another great alternative to Google and Yahoo!: Say hello to Mamma.com!

Mamma.com is a metasearch search engine. A metasearch search engine actually compiles search results from a variety of sources. When you enter a query at Mamma.com, you actually submit your query to repparttar top search engines on repparttar 118548 Internet, and then merge repparttar 118549 results eliminating any duplicates.

It searches Google, Business.com, Findwhat, About, LookSmart, MSN, Open Directory, plus other leading search engines.

Mamma.com has a great power search page where users can choose repparttar 118550 sources that they query. Since Mamma organizes between index, directory and pay-per-click, users can tailor repparttar 118551 search engines to match repparttar 118552 type of information they require.

Mamma also have a great tool in its services and tools section that is called repparttar 118553 Mamma explorer bar--click now, surf later. This lets users (who have downloaded repparttar 118554 product) drag and drop search results into a window and save their search results for later viewing (or even just to make sure they don't lose track of repparttar 118555 result). If you have ever done a search and come away with 10 open windows, you can easily imagine how useful this tool is for research.

Like many folks, you have heard of online auctions. Heck, even non-computer users have heard of Ebay. Everyone starts out as a bidder. The brave move on to be sellers. Little, by little, you learn repparttar ropes.

One of those “ropes” that seems to always give people problems is working with their auction photo. Previous photo experience may have only been limited to repparttar 118547 seller’s children or pets. Suddenly, they find themselves wading thorough terms such as “pixel,” “uploading,” and “compression.”

Sure, Ebay has tutorials, but it’s not repparttar 118548 whole story. Isn’t it frustrating that “help” files are always “streamlined?” Doesn’t it seem like repparttar 118549 step-by-step details are missing? I pondered this one day, trying to look through repparttar 118550 eyes of someone who’s never heard of “image hosting” before. For example, did you know that there are 5 screens that you have to pass through before you get to repparttar 118551 screen for uploading your pictures to Ebay? Did you know that you can practice uploading pictures without making an actual auction listing? I’m sure you feel braver already!

Just make your way to repparttar 118552 fifth screen and don't continue after that - (because repparttar 118553 listing was not completed, it will not be listed. If you go to sell a real item, your "mock" listing will be there - your choice will be to start a new listing or finish your last (mock) listing - …starting a new listing will delete any drafts or “mock” listing.)

I bet you’re really mixed up when you find out there are 3 choices when you get there: “ebay picture services,” “basic picture services,” and “picture manager.” Who wouldn’t be confused? I clearly outline these choices in my free online auction tutorials including which one you need and why (hint: it’s not repparttar 118554 same for every person).

The instructions for how to put picture on ebay can be found here: http://www.auctiontongue.com/com_ebay/instructions_on_how_to_put_picture_on_ebay.htm Ebay suggests that there are four ways to “capture” your digital photo for your auction listing: digital camera, regular camera and scanner, film-to-digital image service, and video camera and VCR tape – that’s where Ebay leaves you hanging.
