People Search Internet Sites

Have you tried to find someone using the Internet? Stop wasting your money and time!

Free Internet Search Engines -- Poor Reliability
Most of us have tried search engines, reverse directories, email directories and other Internet searches to find someone and have usually been disappointed. Sometimes you get lucky, but usually you find stale information or nothing at all. It may be free and you usually get what you pay for.

Paid People Search Internet Sites -- Something Lacking
Many Internet people search sites enable you to pay an average of $39.95 to get an automated report on someone's location. While these reports sometimes contain good information, there are a few things you should know.

• Most online companies get their database information from the same sources, but only periodically (sometimes yearly). This often leads to stale, outdated information.
• Their automated method of searching databases can lead to missed information. Searching for a full name including a middle initial? Then you may miss databases that had the full name without that initial.
• You sometimes can get too much information. Not only do automated paid searches give you historical address, they may be giving you addresses that have nothing to do with the person you're looking for.
• Internet searches lack the analysis an expert can provide. Even though their automated report may not give you someone's current location, an expert may be able to analyse the data and provide a lead to get you one step closer.
