Hopefully you're already familiar with Google, the internet's most popular search engine. You might have even used Google to find this very article. But, do you really know how to use it effectively? Learning how to use Google effectively can help you find exactly what you're looking for and save time while doing it.
Choosing Search Terms
Choosing the right search terms is the most important thing you can do to improve your search results with Google. If you're looking for affiliate marketing books for example, use the keywords "affiliate marketing books." Unfortunately these are going to give too many results. You need to narrow down your results. Are you looking for a particular book? Let's run through a list of keywords to find information on a particular affiliate marketing book, "Affiliate Project X."
affiliate -- 429,000,000 results
affiliate marketing -- 47,500,000 results
affiliate marketing book -- 3,840,000 results
affiliate marketing book project -- 2,790,000 results
affiliate marketing book project x -- 2,140,000 results
Something important is happening here. Notice each time you add another keyword to search for, you receive less results. This is because Google, by default, searches for only those pages that include all of the keywords you are searching for. Using multiple keywords allows you to narrow down on a subject very quickly. Remember though, if you miss the first time, try another keyword in place of one that you have already used. In my example, searching for "guide" instead of "book" could very well garner completely different results.
Within the top 10 results of Google for the "affiliate marketing book project x" search (without quotes) are many sites dedicated to the "Affiliate Project X" eBook. In this case, there were enough keywords to find exactly what I was looking for, even with 2,140,000 total results.
Capitalization, Common Words and Negative Terms
If you love to type in CAPITAL LETTERS, please don't do so when communicating with other people. Fortunately, Google doesn't care. Searching for "project x" is the same as "PROJECT X" or "Project X" to Google. Capitalization doesn't matter in your Google searches.
Common words are ignored. Google will tell you when it ignores a word on the results page below the search box. If you think an ignored word should be included in your search, add a "+" before the word ("+where").
Some searches will result in keywords that you don't want included. Have you ever searched for something that was obviously being monopolized? Block them out! If you are searching for chocolate candy and want nothing to do with the "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" movie, just add "-movie" to your search keywords. This will block out all mentions of the "movie" keyword; be careful.
Phrase Searches
If you're looking for an exact phrase, such as a book title, use a phrase search. A phrase search is performed by enclosing your key phrase in quotes.
Phrase searches are particularly helpful for solving computer errors. Have you ever received cryptic error messages from a computer program? Type the error message into Google, enclose the phrase in quotes and be prepared for targeted results that pertain exactly to what you're looking for! I have solved countless computer problems this way and you can too.
In Summary
Google is a powerful tool. The more you know how to use it, the better your search results will be. Use a combination of adding desired keywords and filtering unwanted keywords to obtain the best of targeted results. Choosing the right search terms can be difficult. If one doesn't work, substitute another in it's place. Remember: Google doesn't mind working for you. Try, try, and try again.
Have fun in your Google adventures!

HOME::Internet-and-Businesses-Online/Affiliate-Revenue X
When Google launched their referral buttons, Darren over at Problogger.net raised a pretty interesting point. He speculated on whether Google’s link-up with Firefox marked the start of a range of affiliate products for publishers that Google were planning to roll out.
Now that the buttons have been around for a while, I have to say that I’d be pretty surprised if Google decided to try out any more.
I’m not aware of anyone making any serious money out of them. The ad units are great. The link units can do pretty well. The image ads not so much. And the referral buttons might buy someone a small coffee once a month... provided they have an audience which has never heard of Firefox.
The real problem with the referral buttons we were offered was that they just weren’t very competitive. There’s a whole range of different affiliate programs that we can sign up to online and the payment terms that Google was offering just didn’t beat what was out there -- a dollar for a download? One hundred dollars when someone you’ve signed up for AdSense breaks a century? You’ll probably do better sending people to some dating site or pushing books at Amazon.
The buttons don’t do any harm. But I don’t think anyone really expects them to do a great deal of good either.
The fact that we haven’t seen any additions to these programs suggests that Google has picked up the message that affiliate programs just aren’t their strong points. In fact, I don’t think AdSense has produced anything yet that beats the basic ad unit. That was a killer idea... and no one’s beaten it yet. We’ve had a few false starts when companies have brought out some attractive new products but the bottom line is that it’s still the good old AdSense ad unit that’s keeping those fat checks coming in.
That doesn’t mean that Google shouldn’t be looking for new ways to make us all a little richer. But they need to be original if they’re going to make it work, and do something that no one else has done.
Or they can just focus on rolling out new formats and adjusting the Smart Pricing so that my prices go up. I’d be happier if they just did that than offer more affiliate buttons.

Affiliate Project X Review - 6 Figure Secrets Scam?
Affiliate Project X is written by Chris McNeeny, a well-known internet marketer. He is also the author of Adwords Miracle, the Adwords guide that is considered the most revolutionary.
After using the techniques in Affiliate Project X, I was satisfied with my results from using the methods. However, I was not ecstatic because I had expected more from Affiliate Project X, one of the more expensive affiliate marketing guides. The affiliate marketing methods promoted in Affiliate Project X are definitely new and powerful, even though some of them may not be entirely ethical. A lot of hype had surrounded Affiliate Project X when it was launched, but it was not fully warranted.
Affiliate Project X mostly focuses on using new techniques and methods to make money from Google Adwords. It is definitely not the full and definitive guide to affiliate marketing, as there are many other methods not covered in Affiliate Project X. Don’t get me wrong though, the methods in Affiliate Project X are very powerful and will definitely make you money if you follow the steps. It just seems that Chris McNeeney’s guides are advanced versions of his previous of his previous guides like Adwords Miracle, thus a guide like Affiliate Project X is definitely not for you if you have no experience with internet marketing at all. Getting all his guides just to start on affiliate marketing is also not a good idea, since that would be too expensive, and there are guides that explain more aspects of affiliate marketing for a much lower cost.
For example, the product selection techniques in Affiliate Project X, that teach you how to find the right products to promote, are an advanced version of the product selection techniques in Adwords Miracle. If you have not read Adwords Miracle before, or if you have never advertised on Google Adwords before, you may find Affiliate Project X very hard to understand. Again, do not buy all his guides to fully understand them as it is not necessary.
If you have read Chris McNeeney’s guides before, Affiliate Project X will be incredible for you. Some of his techniques, like Copy The Best and The Leech, are quite revolutionary and will surprise you the first time you see it. The Leech is especially powerful because it can recoup your Adwords spending very quickly, the conversion rates are absolutely phenomenal and the return of investment on the Adwords campaigns are the highest I have ever achieved. The downside of Affiliate Project X is that the websites he requires you to setup do require more effort and time, instead of the simple direct link to the product vendor.
Seeing the effectiveness of the methods in Affiliate Project, I’m convinced that these are indeed methods that super affiliates use to make a full time income online. The methods in Affiliate Project X work great, provided you have some experience in affiliate marketing. I have no idea why super affiliates would share their powerful methods and systems with the public. But I guess the amount of money that change hands on the internet everyday is so large, and there are billions of products, that they can afford to share their techniques.
Affiliate Project X is constantly updated. Since the launch of Affiliate Project X was launched, it has been updated to version 2.01, which now includes details on how to overcome the “Google Slap” and some of the new obstacles of affiliate marketing. The best part of Affiliate Project X must be the ‘Battleplan’ videos. These videos are great to help you get started, all you have to do follow what Chris does in the videos.

It really isn't that difficult to make money fast online, you just need to thoroughly understand the World Wide Web and how it works.
One of the things that you will need to understand very well to make money fast is how to market whatever it is that you are selling online. Online marketing is very different from offline advertising. Just to give one example; offline, display advertisements give you the better response, the more beautiful and colorful the better.

Adsense ads are mostly tiny text things that appear on the side at a site.
If you intend to make money fast, online, then you just can't afford to ignore small tiny text ads. This is one of the reasons why it also very important to carry ads that are as relevant as possible to the content on your site. Note that this yet another major contributing factor to the huge success of the Google Adsense program.
Then the other key factor to note if you want to make money fast online is the fact that joining an affiliate program will always make you money much faster than trying to promote your own creation. One of the reasons is that you get to use the power of referrals which is a key ingredient for anybody seeking to make money fast online.
