Google loves, well guess what, yeah all things related to Google! No I hear you cry !. Who doesn’t love to be promoted especially if you are a search engine right and you can get other people to promote you too ?

Google loves all of its own stuff and if you use their stuff they will love you for it.

So what stuff belongs to Google ?

Blogger.com– owned by google and for no cost you can blog to your hearts content for free. Be careful though as it is not hosted by you, so any content you put on your Google blogger can have  its down side as now it belongs to google and if they decide one day they don’t like your content or the site for whatever reason you could end up with a nasty shock and find out one day that your site has disappeared, worth bearing in mind and not to build your whole business around blogger, also its best to be aware when you are considering topics to blog about. However it is a great way to link to your main website and get backlinks.

6 Things Google Loves

Google Knol- Is a site that google started in 2008. On this google site you can add your own articles and you can also add video. The content on knol can be on any theme and you don’t have to be a great writer to get an article published. The down side is that it may be hard to find an article with the type of good content that you are searching for, that being said it is a good site to find google related updates.

Google blogs- if you already have a blog you can add your blog to google blogs, just type in to the search engine google blogs, and the google blog site will appear it will ask you if you have a site you then input the URL of your site and voila, you blog is then added.

Google Picasa– This is great to upload all of your pictures and make albums. You can then post pictures directly to blogger.com or to Facebook. It also allows you to do some very handy edits with the simple grahpics interface to get some stunning results and produce collages or turn your pictures into a video presentation

Google profile– With google profile you can add all of your information relating to you, your likes, photos etc and you can inter-feed with google buzz. This is great for sharing information.

Google site– You can do a google site for free and this is a great way to get google rankings. It comes with a variety of templates. You can also decide who can view the page, this is handy if you want to build a site for specific team activities or you want to keep it in the family so to speak. Google sites can be found under your Gmail account in more at the top of the page.

To access all different Google applications above you can either put the term you are looking for i.e  Google profile into the web browser or visit your Gmail account and go to help and then My account. On your account it will show you all the applications that you have and the ones that you can add or edit.  There are many more that you may like such as Google docs, Google mobile, Google Bookmarks, Google buzz and the Asia version of Facebook orkut. Orkut is not available in some countries due to the country compliance.

Another good tip is to always add your bio to all the site that have the capability and also add your photo

Do you spend lots of time on the Internet and get frustrated when the browser stalls ? or even worse you are in the middle of an important task and you get the
host Not responding message?. If your anything like me that’s the time I want throw my computer out the window logic prevails and I  go make a coffee instead. We are in the days of the Browser Wars!!

I was an avid Mozilla FireFox fan until I found Google Chrome !

Google chrome is the fairly new kid on the block, after much beta testing since 2008  now has a stable functionality platform  for Mac, Linux and Microsoft Windows as of May 2010.

It has a super fast start up with your most used sites seen directly on the home page as thumbnails so you can get to work straight away. With its clean interface you have much more screen space so the guys with small screens will love this.

It has tab pages much like FireFox however the tabs are separate and are hosted on the top of the window and can be moved around the screen by dragging and dropping the tabs as they are self functioning. As the tabs are separate if you are looking at a web site that for some reason hangs, it doesn’t crash the entire Internet as the tabs are individual and only the  tab with the website you are visiting  is affected.

Another neat feature is the address bar as it also doubles up as a search box and web site browser whats know as an omnibox.  The address bar  has the same feature as in FireFox in that it displays previously visited sites as you type.

The Extensions functions on the left hand side of the web browser means you can use your extensions independent to normal browsing function, fantastic for stuff like You tube, other video sites and wiki to name a few.

When adding new extensions there is also no need to restart your browser as with FireFox, so saves on time and the extensions are automatically updated.

The incognito function allows you to search sites without them being stored in your history. This is great if you have kids around and have sensitive sites that you don’t want them to see ( No i didn’t mean adult sites Guys, but I guess it would be good for that too)

Favourite bookmarks can be saved on the tool bar menu for ease of visibility and has a folder option for each so you can save preferred pages stored directly within that fave bookmark folder of each ( so you can view later if you don’t have time). This is noted by a star by the left of the browser bar, click on the star and add your book marks. It also has a delete function.

Google Chrome Extensions

There are numerous so I will only go over a few that I  like and use regularly for their benefits and features. What I thinks is  particularly cool is when you are adding the extensions a icon bubble appears to show you exactly where it will be placed on the browser menu so you can easily access and identify it and there is no need to restart as mentioned previously.

Chromed Bird

SEO Quake
This has the same features as FireFox in that it provides valuable SEO information about the web page visited such as Alexa, Bing, yahoo ranking, keyword density etc

Ultimate Google Chrome Flag
This is perfect for identifying the the rank of a web site if it is being hosted in a different country.

kuber page rank checker
Measures the page rank of a page so shows the authority according to Google in the search ranking.

Google Global
This is also available on FireFox so if you used it before then you will know that it is perfect for identifying keyword research for words used on sites in different countries for web pages

Facebook colour
Just for fun, you can change your font colour in facebook to add a little twist.

just a note!!

If you are making your own web pages it is always a good idea to have several web browsers available on your computer, safari, opera, Mozilla etc so that when your pages are complete you can test drive them on how they operate within the different browsers. This helps conversions as you can identify the load time, font acumen and the general configuration view.
