Search term is contained in the URL, it will put the website at the top. How you name your website has something to do with how often people will find you.

Alta Vista link: tells you how many pages that link to your site in Alta Vista in the database

If an organization or company that is big/famous links to your website, then Google will rate you higher in relevance.

Research shows that majority of students only look at the first screen of searches. Majority of adults and students only use ONE search engine for one topic or NEVER use another search engine. Then you limit yourself to one search engine's bias.

The relevance has nothing to do with the quality of the websites at the top of the search.

How to find an author of a website (who owns a url): [|www.easywhois.com] Type in the domain name Example: www.martinlutherking.org is owned by www.stormfront.org which is a white supremist group.

Send a thank you to the teacher if you found something of theirs on the web.

host: limits to a host domain

The way back machine. KIDS WANT TO DO SOMETHING THAT HELPS OTHER KIDS- it is valuable to them.
