.: Google Search Engine: Are You Using The Magic Yellow Button?

By:Jason Lewis

Category:Home / Internet Marketing / Search Engine Optimization

Are you using Google's'magic yellow button', to help transform how you search for information online? If you're not, you are missing out on something special, that can not only save you time, but also prevent you from pulling your hair out, during those frustrating search engine moments.

I'm sure this will sound familiar, but try to imagine this scenario for a moment…

You're at the Google home page, because you are looking for information about something specific. Right, so you type in your search, and Google spits back a load of search results, and you see a link to a web page, which looks like it has exactly the information you want.

So, you click on the link and wait patiently as the page loads.

...Then you start to scan up and down, to find what Google just told you was definitely on that page!

...You scan again, up and down, but you can't for the life of you, find the bit of text that means everything to you. There's so much text on the page it could be anywhere. It's driving you nuts trying to find it!

Will someone please help?

...Enter Google's 'Magic Yellow Button'

What if...instead of staring at a huge fuzzy page of text all blending together, you click a magic button in your browser window 'once'.

...Then the exact piece of information you want is instantly highlighted with, well, a highlighter pen! No kidding honest, you can actually do this, even if you are a computer dunce.

It gets better. Now that you've found the information on the page, you might find all the highlighting a bit off-putting, because you'd prefer to read the information without it.

No problem. Just click the magic yellow button again, and all the highlighting disappears before your eyes. You can turn it on and off with one click of your mouse.

Think how much time this is going to save you. Next time you use Google to look for information, you'll be able to find what you're looking for so much faster. No more giving up on a page full of text, because you don't have the time to read the whole page to find what you want to know.

Here's How To Install Google's Magic Yellow Button…

1. First, you need to install Google's free toolbar, which automatically displays every time you open your Internet browser. Don't worry, it tucks in neatly at the top of your browser window, you will hardly notice after a little while. You can download the free toolbar from this page on Google: http://toolbar.google.com/

2. Once you have installed the toolbar, open up your Internet browser and you will see it displayed near the top of the page. Click on the link or icon that says 'Options'.

3. A pop up window will open. Click on the tab at the top, which says 'More'.

4. Under the sub headline 'Find On Page'; you will see the option titled: 'Highlight', with an image of a highlighter pen next to it. Click on the box to the left of it, until the green tick is displayed.

5. Click 'OK' to finish, and you're done.

Now, open up your Internet browser again, and go and do a test search at www.Google.com. Search for anything you like, just type in the first few words that come into your head.

Click on 'any' of the search results and check out their web page. Before you start scanning the page, look up to the Google toolbar you've just installed, and click on the 'highlight' icon once.

Has the page lit up for you?

Scroll down the page faster than you could possibly read.

Isn't that the easiest way to find a few words hidden somewhere on a page full of text? Amazing tool isn't it?

Just remember, you can turn the highlighting on and off instantly, just by clicking on the highlight button with your mouse.

I hope you found this useful. Happing searching! :-)

1). SEO Contests: Good or Bad?
As a webmaster you probably already know what a SEO Contest is or you surely came across some of them or even participated in. Some of the major SEO contests organized are the v7ndotcom elursrebmem (by v7n.com), Ambachdotcom, Carcasherdotcom, and more recently the Cpayscom2 Online Casino where the winner gets $10,000 for ranking number one on MSN. Now the big question is whether it is good or bad to organize SEO Contests.

2). High Paying Lateral Keywords
If you run AdSense on your site you know that some words pay more than others, much more in fact. More than likely you have also learned that terms like "structured settlements" and "mesothelioma" can produce incredibly high PPC revenue, if they show up on your site at all. Unfortunately hundreds of thousands of other webmasters are "on" to this practice judging by the number of sites created regularly to capitalize on the phenomenom.

5). Creating Sitemaps For Google, MSN AND Yahoo! - The Easy Way
If you own or maintain a website or intend to own one, wouldn’t it be great if you get frequent visitors who find satisfaction in getting exactly the information they need from your page? While that satisfaction largely depends on the contents of your website, how you get to be accessed by website users is the most critical factor of website development.

6). How to Make a Sitemap For Your Website In Five Steps.
A website's sitemap can be compared to the table of contents of a book. The sitemap is important because it guides visitors to the parts of the website in which they are interested. The sitemap allows surfers to reach their destination without wasting time. Sitemaps are also important from the point of view of search engines. If the search engine finds a sitemap it is much more likely that your page will be fully visited (spidered) and indexed; allowing web surfers to find your pages in their searches.
