When you sit down to write, whether it be a short article
or a full blown ebook, it's smart to research your topic
thoroughly before you begin. Even when you are writing
about a topic that you are familiar with research will
uncover recent news, developments, tools, techniques,
and statistics. This information can shed new light on
your topic and add a higher level of interest to your
writing. I find it helpful to hunt down information in the
search engines, article directories, and in resource sites.
Below are my top resources for researching.
Here are the best resources for conducting research on
the Internet.
== SEARCH ENGINES ==
I like to engage in a "power search" by using
metacrawlers such as Google or Dogpile. These are
directories that allow searches to go out to several
search engines at once. What are some other popular
search engines?
Here are the top picks from last year's Search Engine
Watch Awards held by Danny Sullivan.
- Google was awarded for Outstanding Search Service
and Most Webmaster Friendly
- Ixquick and Dogpile for Best Meta Search Engine
- Moreover for Best Specialty Search
- and Yahoo, Open Directory and FindLaw for
the Hall of Fame.
== ARTICLE DIRECTORIES ==
See what other writers have to say about a given topic.
It may give you a new insight and broaden your
perspective about your subject. Here are some article
directories where you can find articles written by leading
Internet marketers and other authors.
- Marketing-Seek.com by two well-known Internet
figures Rick Beneteau and Rozey Gean
- TheUKMarketer.co.uk - fairly new, but a real up
and coming article directory
- MakingProfit.com - by Wild Bill Montgomery
- Web-source.net by Shelley Lowery
- Certificate.net/wwio/
- EzineArticles.com
- Dime-Co.com
== Resource Sites and Statistical Data Sites ==
