Having Trouble with a Traditional People Search? Here are some other ways to search for people online:
If you have found yourself looking for a particularly hard to find person, and both the free and profesional search sites are unsuccessful, there are some additional ways to search for people, but they often depend on additional information about the person you are looking for.
First, what sort of information do you know about the person?
An old phone number, address, even email can offten be used to help find someone with what is known as a "reverse search". A reverse search allows you to use the information that you have (ie phone, address, etc) and to search for related information such as the wherabouts or additional phone numbers for the person you are searching for.
Like the profesional people searches, these too come in two types. A single search version and an unlimited search version. For example, ReverseRecords.org offers unlimied reverse searches for $29.95. If you have a phone number or address Intelius offers a reverse search for $4.95.
If a reverse search is not successful you may consider the social networking and personal sites. Nearly 30% of internet users have personal information in a social network or in one of the personal sites.
