Learning How to Use the Search Engines
June 23, 2009 by Dunkin
It is not simply enough to be a little bit informed any longer, now you need to be able to use the search engines effectively in order to find everything that you want. For example, many people go out searching on the Internet and end up on pages that have nothing to do with what they are looking for. This can lead to a lot of frustration and perhaps even them giving up on using the Internet altogether for research.
It is often a matter of being able to search properly and to use all of the search parameters that you have available to you. For example, if you wanted to find some information on how to control body moles, you might end up on a lot of pages that have to do with controlling the animals that have the same name which dig in the dirt in our yard. This can quickly turn somebody off from using the search engines when all you really had to do was put your search term in quotes and perhaps add a few more words in order to get what you are specifically looking for.
As we move further into the digital age, it will be more and more necessary for us to learn how to use the search engines effectively. Even these engines themselves will continue to get smarter and we must continue to advance along with them if we expect to be able to use the Internet to find exactly what we are looking for.
Earlier today, VentureBeat detailed a major Blippy privacy breach that exposed user credit card information to search engines. The breach appears to have occurred on a small scale — Blippy believes that only four users had their credit cards compromised — but the fact that it happened at all is unsettling. After all, Blippy’s service asks users to entrust it with their credit card information (and in some cases, their credentials for online services) — it is of paramount importance that Blippy keep that data secure. In an official response, the company says it isn’t as bad as it looks and doesn’t affect current users, explaining that it affected four early beta users, specifically those whose credit cards include their credit card numbers as part of a transaction’s “Raw Data”.

If you didnt have people 'manipulating the search engines' (these tend to be very small business and one man bands with no advertising budget) you would find that most of the listings in search engines would be those backed by a huge sponsored link advertising budget.
Manipulation of the search engines in my book is ok, as long as you are bringing valuable content to the person searching for that content and providing a good user experience.
Sometimes it is the only way that it is possible to get your service or product out there in the listings.
You cannot manipulate the search engines to show content that is irrelevant to the search performed. It just does not work like that.
