Searching Wealthy Affiliate For Help

WA Search Box

The search box for WA isn't horrible. It isn't great either. You don't get to search through pages of results. Instead, you only get one page of results, containing about 16-20 results, give or take. You have to keep trying different search terms and you might hit the jackpot and you might not.

I entered "how to search" in the box, and I didn't get one result about how to search on WA. It leaves a LOT to be desired in a search tool.

If I would have entered, "how to search wealthy affiliate," I would have gotten at least one example of something helpful. The point is, that you have to keep trying search string after search string, in order to find what you're looking for, and then you STILL might miss a great post, because it doesn't fall within whatever 20 or so results the search engine spits out. The results aren't even arranged chronologically, so you might get results from 2012. You can't go back to your list of results without entering the entire search string back in again, either.

There's A Great Alternative!

Did you know that you can search the contents of a website with Google? Yes, you can!!

• Open up Google
• In the box, type: site:wealthyaffiliate.com your search words here
• That's it!

You can see below, that I did a search for long tail keywords on the Wealthy Affiliate site. I got over 200 results, approximately 10x more results than given by the WA search tool.

Happy searching, and I hope you find a lot of great information!
