My suggestion to do all things including blogging to be accepted adsense do not expect luck alone. but try (fight) hard, do not give up. if successful think of it as luck. if refused to make a lesson to get through it.

Tips to complete account recovery steps


If you can't sign in, follow these steps to increase your chances of getting back into your Google Account:
  1. Go to the Account help page.
  2. As you complete the steps, use as many of the tips below as you can. (You might not see all the questions described here.)
If you already tried to recover your account and got a "Google couldn't verify this account belongs to you" message, you can try again.

Answer as many questions as possible

Try not to skip questions. If you're unsure of an answer, take your best guess rather than moving on to another question. 

Use a familiar device & location

If possible:
  • Use a computer, phone, or tablet where you frequently sign in
  • Use the same browser (like Chrome or Safari) that you usually do
  • Be in a location where you usually sign in, like at home or at work

Be exact with passwords & answers to security questions

Details matter, so avoid typos and pay attention to uppercase and lowercase letters.

Passwords

If you're asked for the last password you remember, enter the most recent one you recall.
  • If don't remember your last password: Use a previous one that you do remember. The more recent it was, the better.
  • If you can't confidently recall any previous passwords: Take your best guess.

Answers to security questions

If you're asked a security question and you:
  • Don't remember the answer: Take your best guess.
  • Know the answer but didn't recover your account on your first try: Consider a different variation of the answer. For example, try "NY" instead of "New York" or "Phil" instead of "Philip."

Find out when you created your account

If you don't remember the month and year you created your Google Account, here are some ways to find out.
  • Look for a sign-up email. If you can get your email for the account, search for a welcome message from Google or Gmail. If you can't, check for a verification email on another account that you used then.
  • Ask your contacts. If you use Gmail, ask friends and family when they first got an email from your account.
  • Think about related events or purchases. Try to remember if you created your account when you:
    • Had an important life event, like graduating.
    • Bought a new device. Look for any receipts or contracts that could be helpful.
If you can't find out the date, take your best guess.

Enter an email connected to your account

If you're asked to enter an email address you can check now, enter one that you've added to your account. Here are some examples:
  • A recovery email address helps you get back in and is where we send you security notifications.
  • An alternate email address is one you can use to sign in.
  • A contact email address is where you get information about most Google services you use.

Add helpful details

If you're asked why you can't access your account, include helpful details.
Some examples are:
  • You're traveling.
  • You get a specific error message.
  • You think your account was compromised because of malware or another reason.
  • You changed your password last week and can't remember it.
If your description matches the information we have, this similarity can help your case.
Still can't get in? Consider recreating your lost account.

How you can help to prevent invalid traffic



As you may know, AdSense publishers are ultimately responsible for the traffic on their ads. For this reason, it’s critical that you diligently monitor your ad traffic to ensure that your account is compliant with our policies and not accruing invalid traffic. If you see something suspicious after following the tips below, you’re welcome to notify us.
We encourage you to review the information in our beginner’s guide to AdSense policies, as well as our full program policies and Terms and Conditions. In addition to that, here are some tips to help you prevent invalid traffic on your ads:
  • Understand your ad traffic and site visitors Break down your traffic reports into meaningful segments using URL channels, custom channels, or even DFP ad units. This will help you gauge how changes to traffic sources or implementation can affect your ad traffic.
    Next, use Google Analytics to get detailed information about your site visitors, and be on the lookout for any suspicious user behavior. (Where do my users come from, either geographically or on the Web? Which pages do they view on my site?). Learn how to understand your traffic.
  • Avoid partnering with untrusted / low-quality parties Some publishers have had issues with invalid traffic when partnering with low-quality ad networks, search engines, or directory sites in efforts to increase traffic to their site. Learn more about purchasing traffic.
  • Don’t click on your own ads, even if you think it’s okay to do so Even if you’re interested in an ad or looking for its destination URL, clicking on your own ads is still prohibited. Instead, you can use the AdSense publisher toolbar. Keep in mind that even when we filter clicks on your own ads, we don't ignore those clicks completely; if it appears to us that a publisher has been clicking on his own ads to inflate his earnings or an advertiser's costs, we may disable the account to protect our advertisers.
  • Double- and triple-check your implementation Some publishers use custom implementations that may have unintended consequences on their ad requests. Make sure your ad implementation conforms to our ad placement policies and has no programming errors. Also, check your ads in different browsers and platforms to ensure they work as you expect.
  • Use the authorized sites feature to prevent unauthorized use of your ad code Our authorized sites feature ensures that your account will only accrue stats for your ads that appear on sites that you’ve specified. That said, make sure that you’ve added your sites correctly, otherwise our system may filter traffic that you’d prefer to retain.
  • Consult the AdSense Help Forum If you have a question, it’s likely that another publisher has encountered the same issue, so join in a discussion to learn more, or start your own. Let others know if you’ve encountered a third party or situation that tends to generate invalid traffic.
For information on how to prevent invalid traffic in AdMob, see the AdMob Help Center.

AdSense program policies



All publishers are required to adhere to the following policies, so please read them carefully. If you fail to comply with these policies without permission from Google, we reserve the right to disable ad serving to your site and/or disable your AdSense account at any time. If your account is disabled, you will not be eligible for further participation in the AdSense program.
Because we may change our policies at any time, please check here often for updates. In accordance with our online Terms and Conditions, it's your responsibility to keep up to date with, and adhere to, the policies posted here. Exceptions to these policies are permitted only with authorization from Google.

Invalid clicks and impressions

Publishers may not click their own ads or use any means to inflate impressions and/or clicks artificially, including manual methods.
Clicks on Google ads must result from genuine user interest. Any method that artificially generates clicks or impressions on your Google ads is strictly prohibited. These prohibited methods include, but are not limited to, repeated manual clicks or impressions, automated click and impression generating tools and the use of robots or deceptive software. Please note that clicking your own ads for any reason is prohibited.

Encouraging clicks

Publishers may not ask others to click their ads or use deceptive implementation methods to obtain clicks. This includes, but is not limited to, offering compensation to users for viewing ads or performing searches, promising to raise money for third parties for such behavior or placing images next to individual ads.


In order to ensure a good experience for users and advertisers, publishers participating in the AdSense program may not:
  • Compensate users for viewing ads or performing searches, or promise compensation to a third party for such behavior.
  • Encourage users to click the Google ads using phrases such as "click the ads", "support us", "visit these links" or other similar language.
  • Direct user attention to the ads using arrows or other graphical gimmicks.
  • Place misleading images alongside individual ads.
  • Place ads in a floating box script.
  • Format ads so that they become indistinguishable from other content on that page.
  • Format site content so that it is difficult to distinguish it from ads.
  • Place misleading labels above Google ad units. For instance, ads may be labelled "Sponsored Links" or "Advertisements", but not "Favorite Sites" or "Today's Top Offers".

Content policies

Publishers may not place AdSense code on pages with content that violates any of our content policies. Some examples include content that is adult, shocking, or advocates racial intolerance. Please see our prohibited content article for more information.

Pages with Google ads may not include:
  • Adult themes in family content
  • Pornography, adult or mature content
  • Shocking content
  • Content that threatens or advocates for harm on oneself or others
  • Content that harasses, intimidates or bullies an individual or group of individuals
  • Content that incites hatred against, promotes discrimination of, or disparages an individual or group on the basis of their race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or other characteristic that is associated with systemic discrimination or marginalization
  • Excessive profanity
  • Hacking/cracking content
  • Software or other content that violates the Unwanted Software Policy
  • Malware or adware
  • Illicit drugs and drug paraphernalia content
  • Content that promotes, sells, or advertises products obtained from endangered or threatened species.
  • Online sale of alcoholic beverages
  • Sales of tobacco or tobacco-related products
  • Sales of prescription drugs
  • Sales of weapons or ammunition (e.g., firearms, firearm components, fighting knives, stun guns)
  • Sales or distribution of coursework or student essays
  • Content regarding programs which compensate users for clicking ads or offers, performing searches, surfing websites or reading emails
  • Any other content that is illegal, promotes illegal activity or infringes on the legal rights of others
Publishers are also not permitted to place AdSense code on pages with content primarily in an unsupported language.

Abusive experiences

Publishers may not place Google ads on sites that contain abusive experiences. See the abusive experiences page for more information.

Authorized inventory (ads.txt)

If AdSense publishers choose to use ads.txt on their domains, those publishers must ensure that they are included as authorized sellers of that inventory. For more information, see Declare who is authorized to sell your inventory with ads.txt.

Copyrighted material

AdSense publishers may not display Google ads on pages with content protected by copyright law unless they have the necessary legal rights to display that content. This includes pages that display copyrighted material, pages hosting copyrighted files, or pages that provide links driving traffic to pages that contain copyrighted material.
It is our policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). For AdSense publishers, if we receive a notice or otherwise have reason to believe that your page is infringing, we may terminate your participation in the program. You can file a counter-notification via this form. More information about our DMCA process is available in this blog post.
If you believe that a page which is participating in the AdSense program is displaying your copyrighted material without the rights to do so, please report it using this form or by clicking on the AdChoices icon AdChoices icon.

Counterfeit goods

AdSense publishers may not display Google ads on webpages that offer for sale or promote the sale of counterfeit goods. Counterfeit goods contain a trademark or logo that is identical to or substantially indistinguishable from the trademark of another. They mimic the brand features of the product in an attempt to pass themselves off as a genuine product of the brand owner.

Traffic sources

Google ads may not be placed on pages receiving traffic from certain sources. For example, publishers may not participate in paid-to-click programs, send unwanted emails or display ads as the result of the action of any software application. Also, publishers using online advertising must ensure that their pages comply with Google's Landing Page Quality Guidelines.

To ensure a positive experience for Internet users and Google advertisers, sites displaying Google ads may not:
  • Use third-party services that generate clicks or impressions such as paid-to-click, paid-to-surf, autosurf and click-exchange programs.
  • Be promoted through unsolicited mass emails or unwanted advertisements on third-party websites.
  • Display Google ads, search boxes or search results as a result of the actions of software applications such as toolbars.
  • Be loaded by any software that can trigger pop-ups, redirect users to unwanted websites, modify browser settings or otherwise interfere with site navigation. It is your responsibility to ensure that no ad network or affiliate uses such methods to direct traffic to pages that contain your AdSense code.
  • Receive traffic from online advertising unless the site complies with the spirit of Google's Landing Page Quality Guidelines. For instance, users should easily be able to find what your ad promises.

Ad behavior

Publishers are permitted to make modifications to the AdSense ad code so long as those modifications do not artificially inflate ad performance or harm advertisers. Please see Modification of the AdSense ad code for more information.

Ad placement

Publishers are encouraged to experiment with a variety of placements and ad formats. However, AdSense code may not be placed in inappropriate places such as pop-ups, emails or software. Publishers must also adhere to the policies for each product used. Please see our ad placement policies article for more information.

Google ads, search boxes or search results may not be:
  • Integrated into a software application (does not apply to AdMob) of any kind, including toolbars.
  • Displayed in pop-ups or pop-unders, including where a page containing Google ads, search boxes, or search results is loaded in a pop-up or pop-under.
  • Placed inside emails, or on pages where email messages are the primary focus.
  • Placed on pages where dynamically-generated content (such as live chat, instant messaging, or auto-refreshing comments) is the primary focus of the page.
  • Obscured by elements on a page.
  • Underneath or adjacent to buttons or any other object such that the placement of the ad interferes with a user’s typical interaction with the app or ad.
  • Placed on any non-content-based page. (Does not apply to AdSense for search or mobile AdSense for search.)
  • Placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads.
  • Placed on pages whose content or URL could confuse users into thinking it is associated with Google due to the misuse of logos, trademarks or other brand features.
  • Placed on, within or alongside other Google products or services in a manner that violates the policies of that product or service.

Site behavior

Sites showing Google ads should be easy for users to navigate. Sites may not change user preferences, redirect users to unwanted websites, initiate downloads, include malware or contain pop-ups or pop-unders that interfere with site navigation.

Technical requirements

To help you provide a quality user experience, Google has developed technical specifications for sites displaying Google ads. We only allow sites that comply with these technical specifications. Please review below for detailed technical requirements:
  • Use supported languages
    • Google publisher products do not support all languages. Applications for participation in these programs can be for sites with content primarily in the following languages.
  • Format requirements
    • WebView
      • AdSense for content (AFC) and Ad Exchange (AdX) display ads are not supported through all WebView technologies. App developers wishing to monetize by publishing AFC and AdX display ads through a WebView must use one of the following supported viewing frames:
      • Google AdMob and AdX in-app ads may be shown in an app next to a WebView so long as the Google Mobile Ads SDK is in use and the publisher is compliant with all other AdSense program policies.

Google advertising cookies

AdSense publishers must have and abide by a privacy policy that discloses that third parties may be placing and reading cookies on your users' browsers, or using web beacons to collect information as a result of ad serving on your website. Learn more about preparing your privacy policy.

Identifying users and user consent

You must not pass any information to Google:
  • that Google could use or recognize as personally identifiable information; or
  • that permanently identifies a particular device (such as a mobile phone's unique device identifier if such an identifier cannot be reset).
You must not use Google AdSense to facilitate the merging of personally identifiable information with information previously collected as non-personally identifiable information without robust notice of, and the user's prior affirmative (i.e., opt-in) consent to, that merger.
For more information, please refer to Guidance for complying with the Identifying Users Policy.
You must also comply with the EU user consent policy.

Privacy

You must disclose clearly any data collection, sharing and usage that takes place on any site, app or other property as a consequence of your use of any Google advertising service. To comply with this disclosure obligation with respect to Google’s use of data, you have the option to display a prominent link to How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

If you implement any Google advertising service on a site or section of a site that is covered by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), (a) you must notify Google of those sites or sections of sites covered by COPPA using the tools found here: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/coppa, or the method for apps described here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/admob/android/targeting, and (b) you must not use interest-based advertising (including remarketing) to target: (i) past or current activity by users known by you to be under the age of 13 years or (ii) past or current activity on sites directed at users under the age of 13 years.

this is How AdSense works



AdSense is a free, simple way to earn money by displaying targeted ads next to your online content. With AdSense, you can show relevant and engaging ads to your site visitors and even customize the look and feel of ads to match your website.

Google AdSense provides a way for website owners to earn money from their online content. AdSense works by matching text and display ads to your site based on your content and visitors. The ads are created and paid for by advertisers who want to promote their products. Since these advertisers pay different prices for different ads the amount you earn will vary.
Here's how AdSense works in three steps:

1. You make your ad spaces available

2. The highest paying ads appear on your site

3. You get paid

You make your website ad spaces available by pasting ad code on your site, and choose where you want the ads to appear. Advertisers bid to show in your ad spaces in a real-time auction. The highest paying ad will show on your site. We handle the process of billing all advertisers and networks for the ads on your site, to make sure you receive your payments.

How private browsing works



When you browse privately, other people who use the device won't see your activity.
Chrome doesn't save your browsing history or information entered in forms. Cookies and site data are remembered while you're browsing, but deleted when you exit Incognito mode.

Your activity might still be visible

Incognito mode stops Chrome from saving your browsing activity.
Your activity might still be visible to:
  • Websites you visit, including the ads and resources used on those sites
  • Your employer, school, or whoever runs the network you’re using
  • Your internet service provider
If you sign in to an account to use a web service, like Gmail, your browsing activity might be saved on sites that recognize that account.

Downloads and bookmarks are saved

Chrome won’t remember the files you download while browsing in private. But, they're still saved to your Downloads folder, even after you exit Incognito. You and anyone who uses your device can see and open the files.
All bookmarks you create are saved to Chrome.

You can switch between Incognito windows and regular Chrome windows. You'll only browse in private when you're using an Incognito window.

Stop private browsing

Incognito mode runs in a separate window from your normal Chrome windows.
If you have an Incognito window open and you open another one, your private browsing session will continue in the new window. To exit Incognito mode, close all Incognito windows.
  1. On your computer, go to your Incognito window.
  2. Close the window:
    • Windows or Chrome OS: At the top right, click Close Close.
    • Mac: At the top left, click Close Close.

How To Manage saved passwords



You can have Chrome remember your passwords for different sites. To use your passwords on different devices, sign in to Chrome.

If you enter a new password on a site, Chrome will ask to save it. To accept, click Save.
  • To see the password that will be saved, click Preview Preview.
  • If there are multiple passwords on the page, click the Down arrow Down Arrow. Choose the password you want remembered.
  • If your username is blank or incorrect, click the text box next to "Username." Enter the username you want remembered.

Sign in with a saved password

On some websites, if you save a password to Chrome or Smart Lock for Passwords, you'll be automatically signed in when you visit that website.
  1. On your computer, go to a site you've visited before.
  2. In a sign-in form, click the username field.
  3. From the list, choose the sign-in info you want to use.

  1. On your computer, open Chrome.
  2. At the top right, click More More and then Settings.

    • Delete: To the right of the website, click More More and then Remove.
    • Export: To the right of "Saved Passwords," click More More and then Export passwords.
To clear all your saved passwords, clear browsing data and select "Passwords."

Stop saving passwords

By default, Chrome offers to save your password. You can turn this option off or on at any time.
  1. On your computer, open Chrome.
  2. At the top right, click More More and then Settings.
  3. At the bottom, click Advanced.
  4. Under "Password and forms," click Manage passwords.
  5. Turn the setting off.

Fix problems with passwords

If Chrome isn't saving or offering to save passwords, learn how to fix issues with saved info.

How Chrome saves and syncs passwords

How Chrome saves your passwords depends on whether you want to store and use them across devices. When synced, passwords can be used on Chrome on all your devices, and across some apps on your Android device.
Your passwords are saved to your Google Account if either of the following are true:
Otherwise, your passwords are only stored on Chrome on your computer.

Remove unwanted ads, pop-ups & malware



If you're seeing some of these problems with Chrome, you might have unwanted software or malware installed on your computer:
  • Pop-up ads and new tabs that won't go away
  • Your Chrome homepage or search engine keeps changing without your permission
  • Unwanted Chrome extensions or toolbars keep coming back
  • Your browsing is hijacked, and redirects to unfamiliar pages or ads
  • Alerts about a virus or an infected device
In the future, avoid unwanted software by only downloading files or visiting sites that you know are secure.

Remove unwanted programs (Windows, Mac)

Check your computer for malware (Windows)

Chrome can help you find suspicious or unwanted programs on your computer. If Chrome finds an unwanted program, click Remove. Chrome will remove the software, change some settings to default, and turn off extensions.

Safe Browsing: malware and phishing




Safe Browsing is a service that Google's security team built to identify unsafe websites across the web and notify users and webmasters of potential harm. In this Transparency Report, we disclose details about the threats we detect and the warnings we show to users. We share this information to increase awareness about unsafe websites, and we hope to encourage progress toward a safer and more secure web.

How we identify unsafe websites

Google’s Safe Browsing service examines billions of URLs and software and content on those pages in its search for unsafe websites. Safe Browsing then warns users when they navigate to websites that could steal their personal information or install software designed to take over their computers. Every week, Safe Browsing protects billions of devices.

Unsafe websites detected per week

Every day, Safe Browsing discovers thousands of new unsafe sites. Many of these are legitimate websites that have been compromised by hackers. Unsafe sites fall into two categories that threaten users’ privacy and security: phishing and malware

Malware explained 

These websites contain code that installs malicious software onto visitors’ computers, either when a user thinks they are downloading legitimate software or without a user’s knowledge. Hackers can then use this software to capture and transmit users' private or sensitive information.

Phishing explained

These websites pretend to be legitimate so that they can trick users into typing in their usernames and passwords or sharing other private information. Web pages that impersonate legitimate bank websites or online stores are common examples of phishing sites. 

 

 


Manage warnings about unsafe sites


You'll see a warning if the content you're trying to see is dangerous or deceptive. These sites are often called "phishing" or "malware" sites.

My site or software is marked dangerous

My site blocked from Google Search?



If Google suspects your site of hosting dangerous or spammy downloads, engaging in practices that are bad or dangerous to the user, or of being hacked, you will see a warning either in Google Search results or in your browser (or both).
  • Google Search results might show labels such as "This site may harm your computer" or "This site may be hacked" next to your site.
  • Your browser might display an interstitial page when you try to open your page, either from a link in Google Search results or anywhere else.
  • If you are a verified site owner in Search Console, you should receive an email from Search Console warning that your site is suspected of being hacked or containing content that is harmful to visitors. You can also see warnings in the Security Issues report for your site.
Interstitial malware warning in the browser.
Interstitial hacked website warning in the browser.
Example warnings that you might see in your browser

Your website contains malware.
The term malware covers all sorts of malicious software designed to harm a computer or network. Kinds of malware include (but are not limited to) viruses, worms, spyware, and Trojan horses. Once a site or computer has been compromised, it can be used to host malicious content such as phishing sites (sites designed to trick users into parting with personal and credit card information). Some hackers may even take administrative control over a hacked site.
If your site has been infected, it is generally because some vulnerability has allowed a hacker to take control of your site. The hacker may change the content of the site (for example, to add spam), or add additional pages to the site, usually with the intent of phishing. Alternatively, they may inject malicious code (malware)—for example, scripts or iframes that pull content from another website that tries to attack any computer that views the page. Learn how Google defines malware and unwanted software.
This site may be hacked.
Hacked content is any content placed on your site without your permission as a result of vulnerabilities in your site’s security. In order to protect our users and to maintain the integrity of our search results, Google tries its best to keep hacked content out of our search results. Hacked content is often of poor quality, and may be designed to mislead users or infect their computer or device. We recommend that you keep your site secure, and clean up hacked content when you find it.

See What can I do? below to learn how to handle these problems.

Why did this happen?

Google checks the pages that it indexes for malicious scripts or downloads, content violations, policy violations, and many other quality and legal issues that can affect users.  When Google detects content that should be blocked, it can take the following actions:
  • Hide search results silently
  • Label search results as dangerous or omitted for a specific purpose
  • Add pages to the Safe Browsing list of dangerous sites, which is used by most major browsers. These browsers typically warn users in some way before visiting affected pages.
The material on the page or site might violate our policies, whether or not you intended to.
  • You might have hired someone to manage your content or search performance, and this person engaged in practices that violate the Google Webmaster Quality guidelines: for example, link purchasing in order to increase search rankings).
  • Your site might have been hacked without your knowledge by professionals who engage in bad practices for money or other nefarious goals.

What material can be blocked or labeled?

Material that violates a Google policy, a law, or has been banned for some other reason can be labeled or removed.

Six Google search tips to find anything faster


Google is the go-to destination when you need to find something on the web—the verb "to google" even made it into the dictionary. But while everyone's heard of the popular search engine, very few know how to make the most of it.

Behind the unassuming Google interface, you'll find a host of useful tricks to help you zero in on what exactly you want to find. Looking for an obscure recipe or rare photo? Read on to start using Google like an expert.

Include and exclude keywords

Search operators
Search operators
You can include or exclude specific keywords.
David Nield/Popular Science
When you type a bunch of search terms into Google, it's smart enough to understand—more or less—what you want. However, the search engine sometimes provides results that match most of, but not all, of the words you typed. To be more specific, you can point out which keywords are the most important: Put a plus symbol (+) in front of words you want to force Google to include. What if the results you want get pushed off the page by similar, but irrelevant, articles? There's an easy fix: Just add a minus symbol (-) in front of keywords that you don't want to see.

Google has to match any word preceded by a plus, and exclude any word preceded by a minus. Keywords that lack a preceding symbol are considered important but not essential. For example, search for "+Chicago +coffee -starbucks" to make sure you see results for non-Starbucks coffee shops in Chicago. Running that search without the symbols would bring up a very different list of results. Search for "dolphins -miami -football," meanwhile, to look up the aquatic mammals without seeing any mention of the football team.
While we're talking about symbols, don't forget quotation marks. Put these around a specific phrase you want to find. For example, if you want to look up the Walt Whitman poem "When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer," you don't want articles about astronomers with hearing problems. So put the title in quotation marks to ensure more specific results.

Search within websites

Searching sites
Searching sites
Focus your search on one particular site.
David Nield/Popular Science
One of the most useful Google tricks to learn is the site-specific search: Just add "site:url" (replacing the "url" part with the relevant website) to the end of your search query to look on one particular site.


For example, let's say you want to find what Popular Science has written about frogs. Simply go to the Google homepage and search for "frogs site:popsci.com." The results will only include pages from the specified site, and Google will apply its usual weighting, so you'll see the most relevant hits (based on factors like how many other sites link to a page, its timeliness, and so on) first. When you need to find something on a website, then this trick often works better than a site's own built-in search option. Try combining it with the keyword manipulations we mentioned above to narrow down your results even further.
Google also lets you search within a top-level domain. Say you're trying to look up technical scientific information—you'll probably find more reliable results on a university or government website than you might see on a random blog. So add "site:.edu" to your search query to limit results to university websites. Or if you want, say, NASA's take on space information, add "site:.gov."

Limit the time period

Date search
Date search
Dig deep into the past.
David Nield/Popular Science
Google has been indexing the web for a long time now. While that's great for pulling up stuff from decades past, it also makes it more difficult for searchers to cut through the noise to find the exact site or page that they're after. Searching within a specific time period can help with that.
After you've run a search on the main Google search engine, click Tools and then the Any time drop-down menu to limit the results to more recent hits. This tweak is helpful for focusing on very recent stories.
On the other hand, if you want to look for archived news that has since been replaced by more current stories, then you might want to specify a date range. Choose Custom range, and you get to specify a start and end date.

Find files

File type search
File type search
Discover PDFs, spreadsheets, and more.
David Nield/Popular Science
Google's search results mainly concentrate on webpages, but it also indexes publicly available files. You can look for them using a "filetype:" command at the end of your normal query.
So looking for "report filetype:pdf" will return PDFs with "report" in the title. Try "report filetype:xlsx" to do the same for Excel spreadsheets. This also lets you search for images, though Google already has a handy image search tool.
Remember, this will only work for publicly available documents and files uploaded to the web. You're not going to suddenly come across some secret government files...or at least we hope not.

Advance your search

Advanced search
Advanced search
A host of extra options are available through the advanced search interface.
David Nield/Popular Science
These tricks are great for getting started, but if you really want to get specific, you should take advantage of Google's more specialized search options. On any Google search results page, click Settings from the toolbar at the top, and then choose Advanced search. The subsequent page will give you a host of extra ways to focus your searches, from looking at a given region to finding images you have the right to reuse.
Some of the operators, such as specific phrases, will be familiar by now. But the extra region and language options can be helpful. By default, Google prioritizes hits from the country or continent where you're currently located, so you should use these settings to get better results for the rest of the world.
The advanced search page is also worth visiting if you forget one of the tricks we've mentioned above, like searching on a certain site or excluding keywords—or doing both at the same time. Once you've typed in all your parameters, click Advanced Search to see what you can find.

Get personal

Personal results
Personal results
You can search through your own Google accounts.
David Nield/Popular Science
Want to sift through the emails and files you've stored in Gmail or Google Drive? You don't have to visit those apps—Google will let you search through your personal accounts from the main search engine page. However, this will only work if whatever you're looking for is in a Google app and you're signed into your Google account. So don't worry: Your emails won't pop up when somebody else googles you from a strange computer.
For example, type "my flights" into the Google search box to see information on flights you've previously booked. "My trips" will reveal upcoming trips you're taking. (Side note: Google will pull this data from your Gmail account, so if you didn't receive a confirmation email, you won't see trip information.) You can look through your Google Photos too—try searching "my photos of..." with the name of one of your contacts.
Recently, Google has been making personal searches a more prominent feature. You can find a dedicated Personal tab at the top of the results page, alongside the usual News, Images, and Videos ones. It's a one-stop searching shop for all the stuff you've stored in Google's various services.
