Search Engines:  Sometimes they work - sometimes they don't

The main reason search engines are not effective in helping you find what you are looking for is the way you use them.  Most people don't know how to take advantage of the ADVANCED search features.  Instead they type in one or two word phrases... that all lead to the same place.

What search terms do people use to find foot fetish sites

At the top of the page are the most commonly used search terms for the calendar year 2001-2002.  These are the phrases others like you used when trying to find foot fetish materials and leg fetish pictures.  These terms are commonly found on most foot fetish websites (caveat:  many sex sites abuse the way they use these terms to attract visitors to their sites - in the same way they use terms like "Britney Spears").  Just because you search for these terms doesn't mean you will get a relevant result.  Read the rest of the page for more searching ideas.

How to increase the chances of finding what you want

Using the search engines advanced features can be very helpful in finding what you want.  Some simple tips will help you in your searches

• Use specific multiple word phrases "celebrity foot worship"

• Use Quotation marks and connectors (+) (-)

• Use the plural and single form (i.e. leg - legs, foot - feet)

• Think about the process for search terms

Using specific phrases will help you weed through the Search Engine spammers and return a better result.  Whereas foot would return hundreds if not thousands of results, foot fetish will return fewer, and celebrity foot fetish even fewer.  Isn't that what you want RELEVANT RESULTS?

Placing your search term within quotation marks makes most search engines search for that EXACT phrase.  For example:  "painted toes" will only return sites with that phrase.  But painted toes will return all sites that have any of these words.  Are you interested in ALL things that are painted?  Or do you want to find the more specific result that only includes painted toes?

How to use the (+) (-) connectors.  Type in Foot + Fetish -shoes and you get all the sites that have the terms foot and fetish but does not include any reference to shoes.  This would be a good way to find sites about foot fetish sites while eliminating those commercial shoe sites trying to "cash in" on the popularity of the search phrase .  Experiment with phrases and words to get exactly what you want!

The process - what I mean.  Foot Fetish involves several processes.  When you think of all the activities related to the legs and feet you will come up with some great search phrases.  The process can vary substantially.  Consider the following:  putting on shoes, painting toenails, hosiery and stockings, shaving the legs, garter belts.  Anything related to shoes and sandals.  Thinking of the process in this way allows you go to come up with many more applicable Search Terms.
