Web Links
We offer these guidelines that you may find helpful when you are looking for information on the world wide web using Google which is the primary international search engine.
- Go to http://www.google.co.nz/
- Type into the search bar the key word or phrase that describes your search, e.g. 'spiritual direction' - a term that has ACSD at the top of page one!
- Click, 'Google Search' or the magnifying glass logo
- You'll note you have a choice in the left column to search: 'The web' or 'Pages from New Zealand'
- There are various options also like the time the info was provided by Google, or what kind of pages you are looking for, eg pages with images, etc.
- You'll notice some results (top & bottom) have a shaded or buff background. These are Google Adwords paid listings - Google is paid to place these links here - they can be less relevant than the 'organic' unpaid listings that are in the centre of the page.
- Sometimes at the bottom of the page you will see other search terms related to the term you have chosen to search.
- As you search through the pages of search results you will note they become increasingly less relevant - searching up to 3-5 pages may be helpful, beyond that it is unlikely you will find a relevant web link.
- Two links at the bottom of Google search pages are worth being aware of:
