Hi Wally and Allan,

If you get a chance read the following short thread. Smile

You may want to add something similiar to my mention of Debs post on how to search on AP. It might help many of us newbies and oldies. Wink

A sticky somewhere might be helpful.

I know you added the following But it doesn't explain it that well and it's not where most go to Search. Wink

Here's what we say in the instructions on how to search this forum:

TIP: When using the search function, search for posts, not topics. Try the search with "all words", not "any". You can also choose to restrict your search to a particular forum, and search for posts by a particular person. There's a lot of valuable information here. It's worth spending some time to find it.

Does anyone have any helpful suggestions on how we could improve that tip?

Start with a two word phrase, unless one word is truly unique. If too many results, add another word to the phrase.

If you aren't getting very good results, think about the words you are using in your search ... browse the forum or the posts that do show, to see if there are better words to use that are more commonly used by affiliate marketers and info publishers Wink
