can you make websites this year that was helpful when i did it (3 years ago)

to find information i always did this (in order)
1) check if its on my website
2) google ADVANCE SEARCH (top 5 at most)
3) skip and move on
4) go back and try a domain search
5) go through the site....

the key to this event is knowing on how to find specific information FAST (this is why i like using advance search on google)
SO stressed!

thats a good process

i always checked my site first then i would move on to advanced google search and searching the domain that we were looking under, if i couldn't find it i would move on

you have to graph anything that they tell you to graph, you probably will only have to make one or two graphs
