Booked Your Late Deal Package Holidays, Research The Resort In 1
Hour On-Line
If you are anything like me, you wait for the last minute cheap
flights or package holiday deals.
Problem is they usually fly out the next day or the day after.
I tend to go 1 week 3 times a year so to make the most of it I
need to research the location so I know what my plans are e.g.
water parks, best beaches, car hire, scooter hire, bars etc, You
get the drift.
Unfortunately if you go to google and type in Los Cristianos car
hire, you get Results 1 - 10 of about 216,000, wow that a lot of
pages to view.
Fortunately there is a quicker way, let me explain.
Do you ever look at the top of the web page when you are online?
If you go to www.google.co.uk and look at the top of the page
you will see Google - Mozilla Firefox or whatever browser you
are using, the important part is everything before the '-' that
would be google.
This is called the page title and web site owners tend to name
them after the page content.
So how can this benefit me you ask, well let me tell you.
In the google search box you can use a command intitle: so if
you are looking for car hire in Spain you could type
intitle:spain car hire in the google search box, this will only
bring up pages with Spain car hire in the title cutting down the
amount of pages returned.
Well that's the theory in reality you would refine your search
much more depending on how many pages came back on the google
search results at the top right of the page.
Here is an example; I chose 3 resorts in Tenerife so I could
find things close to a resort.
Los Cristianos car hire Results 1 - 10 of about 216,000
intitle:Los Cristianos car hire Results 1 - 10 of about 16,000
intitle:"Los Cristianos car hire" Results 1 - 10 of about 327
Playa de las Americas water Results 1 - 10 of about 412,000
intitle:Playa de las Americas water Results 1 - 10 of about
17,700 intitle:"Playa de las Americas water" Results 1 - 1 of 1
Puerto de la Cruz Beach Results 1 - 10 of about 2,260,000
intitle:Puerto de la Cruz Beach Results 1 - 10 of about 54,100
intitle:"Puerto de la Cruz Beach" Results 1 - 9 of about 11
Santa Cruz de Tenerife sites Results 1 - 10 of about 307,000
intitle:Santa Cruz de Tenerife sites Results 1 - 10 of about
37,400 intitle:"Santa Cruz de Tenerife sites" Results 1 - 3 of
3
If you look I have done 3 searches for each key phrase: 1. This
is the key phrase on its own and the amount of google pages
returned. 2. Looking for web pages containing all or most of the
words in the page title. 3. Looking for web pages that contain
all the words.
I'm sure you will agree that in each search the number 3 search
will be the best option, you have just cut down the pages you
needed to research to 341 pages.
There will be the case from time to time when the number 3
search will display no results, if this happens all you do is
remove the quotes so the number 3 search phrase now looks like
the number 2 key phrase.
That's how I research my holidays at short notice, I hope you
benefit from this guide also.
