How Do I Find Someone's Email Address

Ok so you are asking the question how do I find someone's email address. But what you are really wondering is can I find someone's email online for free. The answer is a yes there are ways to search for emails online for free. That's right free. Of course it is much faster and easier to go to a paid search directory. It might be cheaper that what you had expected. But if you have lot's and lot's of time on your hands searching for a friend's email or whomever can be quite fun. Their are many nooks and crannys to search online.

On this lense I will show you places to look that you probably never even thought of. I find it amazing just how informative the internet can be.

If you use your imagination and think like a sleuth you can find just about anything you want. You just have to think like what you are looking for. Sometimes you will find a service or site that has been built for a particular thought in mind but can be used for something totally different and free at that. Okay so let's move on to performing a few search engine searches with some search string tips and tricks.

Ok, this is an obvious search method. Put your search in quotes. If you were searching for an email address for an old schoolmate named John Smith you would put it in quotes "John Smith" and that would give you all pages online that were made specifically about that, John Smith. If you simply searched for John Smith without quotes then you would find pages that had John Smith on the page which could be litterally millions depending upon the commonality of the name. But doing a search like this would probably get you a little bit closer.

Ok let's take John Smith again. "John Smith" in quotes still brings back almost 6 million results. So then it is necessary to have a little bit more information. But let's say you haven't seen this guy since high school. Well if you knew him in high school. Then try this "John Smith" "High School Name" you will see that if you add a second search to the first also in quotes you will get one step closer to what you are looking for. Are you ready for another tip? Okay add a third search string in quotes "John Smith" "Name of High School" now add the year you went to school with him "1989" You'll be amazed at how well this works in narrowing down your search.

Just using quotes and taking as much information you know about the person you will more than likely find them. If they were online they can be found. Have fun with this. Ok let's move on I will give you some more search tips below. Let's look at some places you would probably never have thought of searching.

Here are some directories to get you started. They are free but be careful because some will take you to paid searches as well. There's lot's of advertising obviously becasue these directories have to pay their bills.

I don't particularly like scouring the entire net anymore to find information. I myself as a matter of personal preference would rather pay a few bucks and get what I'm looking for immediately. To me time is money so If you are like me then you might prefer a site that I have found to be very useful and inexpensive. Click Here! to take a look.
