Nowadays, just about everyone uses google as their go to information center often spending endless amounts of time researching something of interest. On this #TrashItThursday we are going to stop trashing our precious time and hopefully begin to use these three time savings hacks when using google.
The first hack is using quotation marks. When you are searching for something on google, if you put quotation marks around a group of words, google will search for those words in that specific order eliminating endless pages of useless information from popping up in your search feed. For example, if you needed to search for a replacement plug for your Black and Decker vacuum, normally people would google their specific model of vacuum and type Black and Decker R632J power cord. Google would turn up endless search results for every Black and Decker item ever created. If instead you typed Black and Decker R632J “power cord” then google will only return results pertaining to power cords, saving you thousands of unnecessary search results.
The next hack when using google is to use a minus sign in your search. Using a minus sign also helps to ensure that google will not send you thousands of irrelevant results. As an example, let’s say you are throwing a wedding and you need to search for music bands. If you type wedding bands in the google search bar then google is going to return tens of thousands of results. One major reason for this is because google will not only send you wedding music bands but it also reads the word bands as in jewelry, wedding bands, so the list will be endless and time consuming. However, if instead, you type wedding bands - jewelry then, your results will be honed in and so much more practical.
My third and final google hack is concerning images. Have you ever seen an image online and absolutely fell in love with it but you didn’t know how you would ever find out who the artist was or any of their details? Well, I now have that information for you. All you have to do is drag your image into the google image search line and tada, all the information on the image will pop up. Who knew?
These are such time savings google hacks that I didn’t even know existed. Next time you are googling be sure to start using these hacks so that you too can stop trashing your precious time reading endless and unnecessary google results.
The above hacks are only three little baby hacks. If you want to read something really interesting and learn the ins and outs of google and how it can be a major assets to your business and to your life, go to your library and get the book The Google Way. It is an absolute must read. If your library does not have it, here is a link for the book which is available on Amazon >> https://amzn.to/2BXDwcr
