Tips For Searching For Dating Sites On Search Engines
By J. Anthony, Mon Jan 2nd
We all know that search engines are the best way to find datingsites online. However, if you aren't specific, you can spendhours searching and never find the right site for you. What do Imean? Let's look at an example. I just did a search on Google,Yahoo! and MSN for the search term "dating". Here's what Ifound: 138,000,000 results on Google, 256,000,000 on Yahoo! and120,905,709 on MSN. Uh oh. Which sites are the best for me? Whoknows. You'll have to just start clicking on links to find out. However, if you'll use some simple search engine techniques tonarrow your searches, you'll find that searching the web fordates online can become a much easier process than shufflingthrough 100's of millions of sites. Since Google is still usedby more searchers than any other search engine, the followingtips will apply to Google specifically. Tip #1: Be Specific
What type of person do you want to meet online? Christian,Jewish, BBW, Military, African American... Instead of justsearching for dating, why not search for Christian Dating Sitesor African American Dating Sites. You'll find the available listof sites dramatically lower, and the sites that come up will bemuch more specific. Tip #2: Use Advanced Search Techniques [allinurl]: Used when looking for a site with exact wording inthe url. For example: Search forallinurl:ChristianDatingNetwork. What you'll find is that everysearch result is from a site that has the wordsChristianDatingNetwork in the url. [allintitle]: Similar to allinurl except for the words willappear in the title of the site. This is a great search to usebecause you may have heard someone at a party or at work mentiona dating site to you, but you can't remember the url, but you doremember they called it something. Using the same example above,search for allintitle:Christian Dating Network. As you'll see,the results are for sites with the exact words Christian DatingNetwork in the title. Another reason this search is so valuableis
because many dating sites have a different title than theirurl. So, if you can't remember the url, but you can remember thetitle, then use the [allintitle:] search. Tip #3: Use the "OR" search My favorite search technique. What if you want to find datingsites for BBW (Big Beautiful Women) OR Military singles? Use the"OR" search. For example: Search for BBW OR Military DatingSites. Be sure to include the "OR" in all caps for the search towork. Now, look at the results. All of the results are for sitesthat pertain to either BBW or Military Dating sites as well assites that pertain to them both. Excellent search to findresource sites that cater to both of your needs. Tip #4 Use the "Domain" search What if you know the url of the dating site you want, but youwant to know if it caters to singles you are looking for? Forexample: eharmony is a very popular online dating site that iscurrently doing a massive amount of television advertising.Let's say you are Jewish and wonder if they cater to Jewishsingles. A simple way to find out if Jewish is mentioned oneharmony is to do the following search: jewishsite:www.eharmony.com. All you have to do is put the term youare looking for followed by a space and then the word "site" anda colon and the url you are looking for. In this example, 9listings came up for Jewish within eharmony. I hope the above tips will help you find a date online in aquicker and more efficient fashion. The internet has madefinding love online easier, but because of the vast number ofdating sites catering to singles these days, you need to usesome of the shortcuts mentioned above, or you'll waste valuabletime searching through meaningless results. Good luck and happy dating! About the author:J. Anthony is a contributing writer to Alternative-Dating-Sites.com and Personalads.cc.
