| If you're reading this web page then you've already figured out the basics of maneuvering your way around the Internet. But are you surfing in the safest most efficient way? If you aren't sure then read on: Finding your way around the web: Real geeks simply enter the address they want directly into their web-browser, or by clicking a previously saved bookmark or Favorite. But what do you do when you don't know an address or aren't even sure what you're looking for? TIP: you can quickly bookmark a web page or add it to your Favorites by holding down the "control" (ctrl)button and pressing the "D" key at the same time. Try it! Internet Search Sites Rule the Web! Well, not really, but without internet search sites there would be no effective way to find anything! By far, the best, biggest, most effective search site is GOOGLE. Simply type in "http://www.google.com" (without the quotes) into your web browser, then type what you're looking for into the Google search box on the Google page, then press the 'search' button. Google will show the results of your search with the most relevant sites listed first - just click the links and you're surfing! Note that when you click on a link, you only need to click once. Click here for more help using Google. Google isn't the only search site: Sure, there are others such as http://yahoo.com or http://search.msn.com/ and you would have to try them all to choose which you like best, but it's generally agreed that Google is the best internet search page due to it's speed and lack of spam websites in it's results. |
