Part
7: Finding Different File Types
Here's a
simple method for finding the second most popular file on the
Web (besides Webpages
themselves) - PDF documents. You might know them also as ebooks.
These
are multipage documents that people create for all sorts of reasons,
including:
- Instructional
materials
- Textbooks
- Catalogs
- Reports
- Brochures
and more . . .
You
can download them to your computer for viewing at any time.
There
are tons of them online, for practically any subject, waiting
for you.
Finding
PDF Documents
To
find PDF documents with Google, you simply enter
something similar to the following into Google's search box:
sailing tips filetype:pdf
The
addition of 'filetype:pdf' tells Google to find PDF documents
related to sailing tips.
That's all there is to it.
When
you combine this ability of finding PDF documents with the concept
you learned earlier in this course of using
'discovery' keywords, it's easy to find ebooks containing
tips, how-to's, checklists, and more, related to your
keyword.
- sailing
how-to's filetype:pdf
- sailing
checklist filetype:pdf
- sailing
guide filetype:pdf
In
addition to finding PDF documents this way, Google also has the
ability to search for other filetypes, such as Word documents (filetype:doc), Excel spreadsheets (filetype:xls),
and Powerpoint presentations (filetype:ppt), among others.
