Ok, back to this Saved Folder thing again.
The other day it dawned on me that it would be nice if we had a saved folder on our homepage. That would make it easy to save all the links that we share with each other leading to the valuable content and sites that are shared from everyone at WA.
Although there were some good comments, here's what i've come with.
On my desktop I have a folder label "All Marketing" in that folder i have created a
Wealthy Affiliate file, now when I come across a link that i may want to reference back to I copy the affiliate link, paste it into my WA file and change the name to something I remember. problem solved.

Hey hey everyone...and to you too Scorpio, I am glad all of you found the obstacles I've had to faced and overcame helpful.
It's nice to know my pain is saving others from the same struggle.
I hate to admit this. But you forced it out of me. I can't keep a room clean and organized. God knows I try! It's a huge problem for me.
But I've learned to organize, and keep clean, my Folders.
And this is one reason why I believe ...
"Blogging is not just about Blogs. It's about learning how to become an accomplished person ... and then, accomplishing even more."
Glad you found that was helpful.
Yeah, it's really nice to actually find what you need, when you need it..
It's easy when you using "Tags", "Keywords" & "Long Tail Keywords", and "Folders" & "Sub-folders".
Now you can pull up information on any topic, just like a Professional Researcher.
Same with the notepad app Just put the Link in it then name the file, keep them all in one folder .

Here's a problem you "will" run into. As the list of URLs, or in my case documents, grows it gets hard and hard to find anything.
And that list can grow really fast. The more you learn the more you know. The more you know the more you'll want to save for future reference. It's a vicious cycle.
What I did was labeled that folder "Library". Then I created sub-folders for "Category", such as "Keywords".
When I come across an article about "keywords" I copy and paste it onto a "word document".
NOW WHEN I WANT TO FIND that document about keywords all I have to do is to my Library and open my "Keyword Folder".
But even this isn't organized enough. It still needs to be organized deeper. So add a "Sub, Sub Folder" for more specific things about "Keywords" such as Research, or SEO, or find Article Ideas.
NOW WHEN I WANT TO FIND that specific document about SEO Keywords I just have to go to that specific folder
BUT THIS STILL ISN'T ORGANIZED ENOUGH ....
To each document I'll add tags, something specific about what the article talks about. Something that's unique about the article.
NOW IF I WANT TO FIND....all the articles about "SEO Keyword" all I have to do is do a search, from the "Library Folder" and it'll give me the results.
So what I end up with is a Very Well Organized "Library. And 2 different ways of finding what I want. Either by doing general "Category Search" or by doing a very specific "Tag Search". Each having it's own Pro's and Con's, depending on how you need to do a search.
But this still isn't enough....
What if you need to find a specific line / sentence? When I am writing and I want to reference a specific line I do this a different way.
Wow CraigOs,
Thanks for that input, you really got this down. I had to copy this one for sure.

Also look into evernote or swiftkey, allows searching of any document by keyword, great time saver and can be linked and synced with other devices. You never know where you will be when inspiration hits :)
