Quotes, minus sign, site, initiate and alerts options I have been using for quite a long time but rest of the others in your awesome post I never tried but now seriously thinking to avail them to refine my online searching to a professional level.

All the online professionals must make their every effort very focused and least time consuming to bring more results. For this purpose your post is complete solution of making our Google search more accurate to the way we want to use it.

Thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful post of great value.

You’ll be very proud of me that I knew about ALL of these except the minus symbol.

Just this morning I was searching for a solution to a problem I was having and it kept bringing up content that had nothing to do with what I was wanting to know. It was an issue with a widget and it kept giving me results about plugins. Two totally different things and I never asked about plugins. Another reason I’m always disappointed with the search engines these days.

Now back when I was doing a lot of article marketing and searching for keywords, titles, etc. I had learned about a lot of these types of searches so at least I’m not totally ignorant of this. Yay me!

Great share and thanks for explaining this because I am definitely using the minus one. Wish I had read this post this weekend and it would have saved me some time this morning. LOL!!!

Enjoy your week.

Google has great search operators and I use them to improve my work efficiency. I had a similar post on this topic which has a long list of Google search operators. Check the link on my name for the same. Hope it would be useful for the our readers. 🙂

Thanks

I couldn’t agree more! 🙂 It’s very flexible and customizable.

It doesn’t surprise me one bit the digital marketing professionals are unaware of these essential search techniques– I just published a video post on my site where I listed seven tips for making your blog more powerful, and many people are not implementing even the most basic functions on their site. I suppose ignorance is bliss.

Love using quotation marks, have been using this technique for years, and when I learned about it, a light bulb went on, and it saved me so much time. 🙂

Thanks for the reminder to use the minus operator more. I tend to forget to use it when I should. Love the site and in title operators, and have used this with success on Topsy too.

Oh, now I didn’t know about the time dependent search results, that’s cool. I knew they existed but didn’t have any of the code and haven’t used them yet. Thank you!

Really like reverse image search – super cool and useful.

Thanks for all the great tips, I appreciate it.

Sharing with my friends.

The reverse image search is so cool. I found a few months back that someone was using my image on a dating site, and that same someone was running a scam. Not good. I was free of any wrongdoing but it was still a bad move on his part, and I know folks who noted this to me probably used the reverse image search to nail this guy down.

Amazing, what you can find through Google.

I plan to reverse image search a few of my travel photos. So much potential out there for networking if we see where our links, images and where our brand is popping up persistently, as many times we’re not tagged or RTed or shared with a mention.

Many times folks give us props without noting us, including through image use, so the feature is a smart brand tracker for any blogger.

I feel my Fiji travel images may be circulating out there. Time to make some friends. Reverse search activating.

Thanks so much Joe. Tweeting this through Triberr.

Have a fun weekend guys.
