Web Research Guide: Way of Researching of your SEO Virtual Assistant

          Research is used in many different ways. From school projects to office works. Each has unique ways of gathering information and answering their own queries even your very own SEO virtual assistant. Before when the Internet was not that accessible, people used libraries as their main source of data and information. Books and other printed materials are very reliable sources for research as long as it was recently published. Card catalogs are used by librarians to locate and organize the books needed. The thing that makes libraries a significant source of data is that you are assured that their data is properly processed thus making it legally reliable (but only to a limited time since data also needs updating).

          Fast forward to the present. The Internet has been the main source of data for SEO virtual assistant research. With a single click, your SEO virtual assistant and even you can get all the data that you need right at the comfort of your own home. All you need is a computer that has a decent Internet connection and presto! You can now browse your online source of data. BUT wait, there’s a very big but in using the Internet as a source of information.

No. 1 It isn’t reliable all the time

          Since it’s posted online that doesn’t make it reliable. Anyone can edit it anytime they want to. No assurance can be given to Internet users.

No. 2 Charges for gaining access.

          Since it took time and effort to put those printed materials online (more popularly known as e-Books), the author or owner of the rights to the e-Book would surely ask for some amount in exchange for your SEO virtual assistant and even you to gain access.

No. 3 It is not organized.

          Using the Internet as a source of information is like swimming in a vast ocean. The data is unorganized, unlike in a library. This is where the role of search engines come into play.  

Helpful Search Engines
