Article Subject: 16. Using Google’s dynamic keyword suggestions
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
So we have learnt that variations of keywords can produce search engine results (SERPs) that can be more targeted towards your needs, however, remember that at the end of the day the keywords and phrases are only as good as the search engine itself.
Search engine are fallible just like we humans, after all they try to produce results in a ‘humanistic’ way. The areas where the problems can arise is in words or phrases that have an ambiguous meaning. However, Google in particular has been smart in that department where it actually produces a list of different results each with it’s own meaning and presumably, if you clicked on it, the next instance it would know what your intention was for that word.
This kind of learning power has made the search engine even more powerful and useful to our daily lives, cutting away the effort required to reach our end goal. Try it out and ‘observe’ the behavior of the search engines and see how much it actually ‘remembers’ from what you typed in previously and how it presents the data to you.
ambiguous words are handled reasonably well by search engines these days

Using search engines to locate good free dating sites - Part 15 - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

Article Subject: 15. Searching for good free dating sites through search engines
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
So far we have gone into some details of how to refine your search and understand the innards of some websites to make your decisions as effective as possible.
In addition to visiting some review sites for feedback on potential dating sites, you also have the option of choosing your own keywords and phrases to locate all these dating sites. Remember the example presented here can equally apply to other areas of search that you may be conducting ie. a review of a digital camera that you want to purchase and so forth.
We initially had picked a phrase that was going to provide us with a list of potential dating sites and this was ‘free dating sites’ and we mentioned how a ’snippet’ can help you evaluate a site, even before going there. You will be pleased to know there are many variations of the keywords that you can use to pull the relevant information and a short list of those are provided below.
- free online dating site
- 100% free dating sites
- free dating
- online dating sites for free
Try these keywords and see what comes up in your search. Also try the other search engines including Bing and Yahoo.
using variations of keywords can produce very different search results

Using search engines to locate good free dating sites - Part 13 - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

Article Subject: 13. Searching for good free dating sites through search engines
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Earlier we talked about how review sites can be helpful to your cause in locating good free dating sites, however, you need to be aware of any indirect affiliation of the website with other paid dating sites.
The other tell-tale signs for review sites that are not always revealing the ‘truth’ are as follows;
1. Almost all the reviews point to a handful of the top dating sites such as Match, Eharmony, Chemistry etc.
There are very good reasons they do this, it is because if you drive traffic to their sites the payout can be very handsome!
2. How to determine exactly if the reviewer is an affiliate member of the dating companies
Take a look at the referring url, it will consist of a lengthy string that emanates from the reviewing site and lands on the paid dating site. In this way the paid dating site can track the targeted visitor having come from the reviewed site and follow the user through the site until he/she signs up and the reviewer will get paid as a result.
There is nothing inherently wrong with this technique and it is one of the primary ways that webmasters make money and keep the big companies moving. However, if the information from the affiliated site is skewed and false and drives users in this manner then it is at fault.

This site has a good selection of dating sites that has been reviewed without bias and you can tell this because they promote sites that they are not affiliate with for example 100% free dating site such as Jumpdates.com. It also has a good collection of comments and user feedbacks on these sites. Visit…
Not So Good Ones:
top10bestdatingsites.com
This site is entirely based on promoting the subscriber based dating sites and gives totally unfair opinions and ratings to those sites. Steer clear of these review sites and do not believe anything it says.
The bottom line is always read user’s feedback, because this gives you an idea of how others think of the site.
dating review sites are helpful to users in finding dating websites useful to their needs and pockets
good review dating sites have unbiased views of dating sites and often with user comments

Using search engines to locate good free dating sites - Part 14 - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

Dr. Dato’s Brief:

We have shown how to spot review sites that may have their interest in heart rather than yours. In the same way that some salesmen can exaggerate or color the truth, the same can happen on the internet.
As mentioned before, one way of being reassured of legitimate reviews is to look for users comments regarding anything your want to purchase or interested in such as dating reviews in this case.
Comments today can be actively made on any posts these days since the dawn of the blog era about a few years back and the facebook has made this more easily possible. You will notice that many sites leave a reply box with your name, email and subject to respond to a post and some of these sites can already be populated with your login information. For example disqus is a popular social plugin that users can comment without having to relogin. See the photo below.
Look for genuine comments made and one where it hasn’t been moderated by hand. You can often tell this by comments that appear to be a few words in length and some with a few paragraphs.
