Great trick.



What is the difference between the dash and the hyphen on the keyboard?

I thought they were the same?

I'd like to use this trick.

Sounds like a sourcers trick.

Thanks,

Justin

I tend to put -amazon -ebay and a dash/hyphen before any results I don't want to hear from. It helps to get to the ones I do want faster. And I have gone quite a few pages out just to see what is there.

Then you're missing results from websites that either don't promote themselves as actively as those on the first page or that aren't visited as often. If you're looking for book reviews, the first page of results is typically dominated by Amazon, Goodreads, B&N, and other booksellers. Big name publications, such as the NY Times and the Guardian, are also likely to appear there. Very useful information can be gleaned from results on subsequent pages. It isn't only book reviews.

I have never bothered to go past the first page of search results. I figure that if what I am looking for isn't in the first page, I need to refine my search.

It is as if the next button has disappeared, or the more results
button does not work.

Thanks,
