Google Desktop Search - A great home based business tool!

I have just loaded the Google Desktop Search software on my computer and have given it a test run.

I can actually find something on my machine now!!!

I have just been spoiled & smitten by Google Desktop Search!

I have tried to faithfully index information as I either write or create files, but invariably I forget.

Good luck at finding that file again!

Oh and have you tried using the Windows built-in search lately? The search function is accessed by clicking the "Start" button, where you see the option "Search" and then options including "For Files or Folders", then "On The Internet", then "Using Microsoft Outlook" and "For People".

Once again - Good luck at finding that file again!


I can now find my clients lists and email correspondence with a click of a button. Without having to purchase some fancy software program. This is a great way for a home business to find all of a clients record easily.


Google Desktop Search Software is a 400k application that takes less than a minute to download on a dial-up modem!.

The first thing you see after installation is completed is a note in your browser window that says, "Indexing has begun" or something similar.

But Desktop Search does show you cached copies of every web page you've visited in Explorer with the title of each page and a thumbnail sized image of those pages.

Oh Mom, want to know were your children have been?

The results page has links across the top including "All - emails - files - chats – web history" with the number of items that match each type of result in Google Desktop Search. If you click one of these links it shows results only in that selection. All results display as "Cached" in browser windows, including Word documents, so that the software for each needn't open for that document!

If you click the "emails" link from those in the top of the Desktop Search links, it lists only the emails that turned up with the search words in them, then click on any one of those results and it shows the email in the browser window. At the bottom of that page it shows "<>" links to see them by date, then "View Entire Thread (2)" and "Reply", "Reply to All", "Forward", "Compose", "View In Outlook" links.

Way to go Google!!! – Oh can you tell that I like the program?

Have you ever wondered how to find fresh, innovative content to keep your readers coming back for more? Many have realized the potential hidden within RSS and are adopting the technology at a maddening pace. By utilizing RSS, you can tap numerous free-content sources with very little effort.

The use of a Press Release to Generate Traffic.

This is a recent press release that I wrote for my site makeglobalcash.com. It was picked up by a number of news outlets, resulting in a flow of traffic to the site! All it cost was the time to write it and post.

An All Too Common Occurrence - You built a great site but nobody came!

You have done your homework, decided on the theme for your site, registered a domain and built the site. You optimized your pages for the search engines and submitted them. You may have even approached webmasters of similar sites and exchanged links. You may even have started a newsletter.
Three months passed and a trickle of traffic started to come into the site.
Another three months but the expected torrent of traffic just refused to materialize. And you gave up in disgust!


In spite of this all too common experience, the boom in home-based business activity continues and, according to the US Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy, 52% of ALL small businesses are home-based. Newsweek magazine reports that it is anticipated that 50% of the households in the United States will be involved in home-based business by the year 2005. The 2004 Direct Selling Growth & Outlook Survey recently released by the Direct Selling Association (DSA) indicates retail sales over the Internet increased from 8.2% to 10.85% in terms of percent of sales by location/medium.

Brian Didier, partnership owner of MakeGlobalCash.com states," We believe that 98% of people who have tried Internet marketing and failed is because of lack of tools and the training needed to get their business launched".

Designed to help prevent the high failure rate plaguing small Internet businesses, MakeGlobalCash.com powered by Jumpat.com provides a low cost, one stop shop for all the advertising needs (including training) of a home-based business.

Thomas Tsilionis, President and CEO of SGA/Jumpat.com has stated "that their new marketing focus is to provide a complete one-stop shop for all online marketing needs. We now can concentrate on teaching marketers to target Action-Generated hits to their websites and get away from Passive traffic which generates little results".

Pam Bennett, CFO of Jumpat.com, has also stated, "We want home-based business owners to stop trying to market their businesses the hard way and to stop spending money on things that do not work."
