If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.

"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.  The first method is far more difficult."

Search Engine Basics

Search Engine Facts:

• It is case insensitive
• This means you’ll get the same result for the query [Where is Dagupan] and [where is dagupan]
• Every word & sequence matters
• A search for [Potter], [Harry Potter] and [Potter Harry] would yield to different results. Typically, search results would show pages which have the exact sequence of words
• Punctuation is often ignored
• Which means a search for [KFC Delivery #] vs [KFC Delivery] would show the same results. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as searching for well known terms with punctuations like the programming language [C++] among others.

Tips for Better Searching:

• Keep it Simple
• For example, instead of [money savings tips for gasoline], start with [gas saving tips] and you’ll get a better range of results.
• Search for how it will be written.
• For example, instead of asking search engines [What does SWOT analysis mean?], try [SWOT analysis is], because that is probably what the right page will say.
• Use as few words as possible.
• You’ll see that a search for [weather Manila] will give better results than [what is the weather in Metro Manila].
• In general, it is recommended that you start your search with one or two words first, and then refine the results later by adding more words. This is a good way to ensure that you’re not missing other important pages that could help you with your research
• Choose words the best describe what you’re looking for.
• Do you want a new message tone for your mobile phone? Then don’t just search for [message tones], but also try more descriptive and accurate terms such as [ringtones], [SMS tones] or [SMS alerts].

Search Engine Tips and Tricks:

• Use “double quotes” if you want exact matches for a word sequence
• Ex., “We could have had it all”; works best for song lyrics, famous quotes, well-known speeches, popular poems and others
• Use [site:] to search a term within a website
• Ex., [Ondoy site:www.youtube.com]; this will search for all Ondoy videos inside YouTube
• Exclude topics by using the hyphen symbol [–]
• Ex., [jaguar –cars]; this will omit most if not all pages about the Jaguar automobile brand
• Use [OR] to get results for a combination of keywords
• Ex., [Christmas Bazaars OR Tiangge]; this will give you results for both [Christmas Bazaars] and [Christmas Tiangge]
• Use the asterisk symbol [*] as a wildcard
• Ex., [Senator * speech on RH Bill]; if you want to know the list of senators who gave speeches about the RH Bill
• Use the tilde symbol [~] to get synonyms.
• Ex., [algebra ~tips]; this will give you results for algebra tips, algebra guide, algebra help and many others

Beyond Search:
These functions current work specifically in Google and Yahoo! Try typing the terms inside the brackets and see what you’ll get

• Calculator: [23 * 24]
• Unit Converter: [2 meters to feet]
• Forex: [1 USD to PHP]
• World Time: [London time]
• Dictionary: [define: bangus]

My Mass Money Maker Review

So, Mass Money Makers is just about to launch and it seems to like that everyone is on board.

I am sure that you will receive like ten more emails about it, but I got a sneak peek at the product, and want to give you my review.

So, what is Mass Money Makers?

It's based on a simple concept that works (and works well)...this concept is what allows us to rank on 1st page of Google within two to three weeks for just about any keyword out there...

...then we take those same rankings and get them to build massive (really massive) lists...which in turn are piped through "mass money funnels" and the end result is money.

Simple, yet very powerful. Indeed it is, and that's why they've simplified it into four core videos that are 2 to 3 hours each, where they break down everything in minute detail.

Can you get any better then that?

So in the end, I vote for Mass Money Makers. It's a great product, that really works.

If you've been looking for a way to make money online, then you really need to get in on it before the launch is completed.

When they first opened the doors, they said the software would be limited. I just got an update from them and as of now they only have 17 spots left!

I highly recommend that you get your hands on this software right now!
