100 Useful Tips and Tools to Research the Deep Web
By Alisa Miller: Experts say that typical search engines like Yahoo! and Google only
pick up about 1% of the information available on the Internet. The rest
of that information is considered to be hidden in the deep web, also
referred to as the invisible web. So how can you find all the rest of
this information? This list offers 100 tips and tools to help you get
the most out of your Internet searches.
This explaination from our pal, Wikipedia about the Deep Web:
“The deep Web (also called Deepnet, the invisible Web, dark Web or the hidden Web) refers to World Wide Web content that is not part of the surface Web, which is indexed by standard search engines.
Mike Bergman, credited with coining the phrase, has said that searching on the Internet today can be compared to
dragging a net across the surface of the ocean; a great deal may be
caught in the net, but there is a wealth of information that is deep
and therefore missed. Most of the Web’s information is buried far down
on dynamically generated sites, and standard search engines do not find
it. Traditional search engines cannot “see” or retrieve content in the
deep Web – those pages do not exist until they are created dynamically
as the result of a specific search. The deep Web is several orders of magnitude larger than the surface Web.”
