How to Design a Landing Page for Online Services Website?

. What do you think of this? Eli Pariser on "The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You I do a lot of research online, so I know it's happening. I've actually had to toggle over to 100 results per page so I can get down to 50-100 where the really good stuff is. ?Does anybody here know how to search through a "private window"like they talk about on the video, to minimize "data mining"? ?Or how to search so you do *not* see a bunch of "local" results? Thanks in advance ... Elizabeth ... I saw this guy's presentation on TED a day or two ago, and it was disturbing to say the least. One small thing you can do is prevent Google Analytics form collecting data about your browsing habits. Whenever you visit a site that's using GA, your IP and other info are being collected by Google. You can read more about how to block GA from any of these sources. If you feel that you must use Google to do your research, try using Google SSL, which provides enhanced privacy and security: http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/answer.py?answer=173733&hl=en You can also try a search engine called ixquick (be sure to use the https version), which doesn't record your search queries or IP and has a proxy feature in their search results that allows you to access each result through their proxies so that your ISP can't see what URLs you're visiting. Getting back to Google's SERPs, you're right that there's a lot of junk to sort through. When I'm doing research for actual information (as opposed to keyword research), I've resorted to using quotation marks and query operators to get what I want. You mentioned that you don't want to see local results. In that case, you can use the negative keywords operator, which is a minus sign or hyphen. Example: Code: You can use a proxy to do your search, here's a good one: http://hidemyass.com Also try adding this plugin to your firefox browser: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/fir...le-ssl-search/ Google the word "scroogle" for more info on how scroogle works.
