Google best unknown feature

Adam, are you the real thing ?

 

I have mainly been playing with thier api stuff, but wow, i didnt realize there was so many, off to thier site i go to check the rest out for my self

 

I think that the Subscribed Links feature is a fabulous feature, that is little understood. Its a program that allows you to convert visitors into repeat visitors very effectively. Getting into the Google directory of subscribed links is very helpful too. You can read more about this program here:

Eric, are you the real thing ?

 

Wow, Eric and I are undoubtedly feeling like Coke(tm) right now.

(and yes, I'm Adam, Google's Search Evangelist, but -- as is typically the case -- I speak for myself here and elsewhere on the Web unless otherwise specified).

 

And here I thought you were going to be a one hit wonder Welcome to DP!

 

Glad to have you on DP Adamâ„¢.

 

Google Suggest is great for a number of things. If I can't spell a word or name, I go there and start typing and it gets the spelling for me. It's also a good tool to figure out what is popular in searches, type a letter and see what it starts suggesting.

 

It appears to me that google has a little bit of everything set up. I like gmail for an e-mail source personaly. However, I definitely need to try a bunch of these other sources as well.

 

In my opinion google alerts are matchless

 

"Google News" Service has now revealed how to get the websites/ Articles in Google News, See -http://www.google.com/support/news_pub/

It even has the inclusion Request form in Google News (similar to Google’s - submit URL) for webmaster to crawl their pages and articles in Google News although it doesn’t guarantee nevertheless it provided some guidelines as well as Technical issues related to it, as;

*Google News can’t crawl, RSS or Atom feed

*Google is unable to follow links embedded in Javascript

*Must See - Technical Requirements

 

One nice thing about Google Alerts is that if you live in a booming resort area and don't time to go to all the city councel meetings or have a contact who goes and will report to you, you can use GA to keep you abreast of the names of the newly approved resort complexes so you can get a jump on creating sites to target searches for reservations at those places. Or at least selling ads to those who handle the reservations.

 

This is the thing i don't know about Google. Anyway, here are the Google services I used:
Gmail
Analytics
Reader

For Spreadsheets and Docs, I think http://www.thinkfree.com/ is better than them

 

i recently started using "Time In India" ., That query tells you the current time

 

Yes i find Google news alerts useful. Though as-it-happens alert does not exactly give you an alert as stated.

 

For someone like me who is always on the move and in need of some handy references, a huge win for me has been Google Bookmarks. I love the service and cannot believe it has not been mentioned.

And i must say i have been subscribing to Alerts since its implementation. I use it mostly to see what my competition is up to, and for this it is worth its weight in gold!

 

I like Google's ability of dominating the world!

 

Analytics is the best webtool out there! The amount of information and tracking is amazing.

Also Google video is a great unsung marketing tool.

 

i have tried google alerts, google base and google analytics along with webmaster tools n i feel google analytics n webmastertools are must useful..

 

somehow, I am fascinated by the long horn adwords program..
i know, everybody knows abt that..just wanted to put my views here too..
