Did you know that you can avoid sorting through thousands of pages of search results?
It’s easy and it's called: Google Search Modifiers.
To find reports that are often meant to be hidden away, but Google still has found and indexed, simply add “filetype:pdf” to any search term. Looking for a Powerpoint presentation? Add “filetype:ppt” to any search term.
Example: Internet Marketing filetype:pdf
Basically, Google will return only pages that have PDFs or PowerPoint Presentations. Usually these files are easier to find rather than going through a bunch of commercial website pages. PDFs and PowerPoint Presentations are a great way to get a quick overview of a specific topic, and a way to discover great bullet points that you can rewrite and use in your copy!
Bonus Secret: Even if you don’t own Microsoft PowerPoint software, you can download a free Windows PowerPoint viewer.
And for help finding definitions or synonyms, you can use the “define” query.
