Over the last five years we have seen an emergence of a new type of website, commonly referred to as an "Internet Detective Site." These sites fill the need for people searches that are not easily accomplished using the currently available search engines. Here, we will discuss the various aspects of websites that offer online detective services.
We want to answer the most basic question, "What is an internet detective site?" The simple definition is "a collection of links." An internet detective site is a collection of links to resources that allow you to search for many forms of demographic information. Most of these links can be found for free on the internet, but it would take hours, if not days, to find them all by hand. Thus, an internet detective site is providing a service that saves the searcher valuable time by gathering and updating relevant search links. The price for this service usually ranges from $19.95 to $39.95. This is often a one-time fee which buys the subscriber a lifetime membership to the service.
Some of the most frequent uses include finding a phone number or address, reverse phone number lookup, cell phone search, finding a birthdate, finding an email address, or locating a lost friend or love. Other uses include background checks, criminal record checks, military record checks, and genealogy research. The list of search types is actually very long. Here is a partial list to wet your appetite:
1) Adoption Records
2) Aircraft Crash Database
3) Real Estate Brokers Directories
4) Census Data
5) County Ordinances And Codes
6) FCC Radio Licensee Search
7) Annual Corporate Reports
8) Court Records
9) Military Records
10) Criminal Records
11) Marriage Records
12) Copyright Information
13) Patent Information
Before embarking on your people search, consider saving yourself some time by purchasing a membership to an Internet Detective Site. A good place to start is The Detective Detective ( http://www.DetectiveDetective.com ), where you will find comparisons and reviews of the most popular internet detective sites.
Good luck searching!
