The following are some of the popular and innovative services offered by Google and there are always improvisations in it.

Google Answers
Google Answers is an interesting cross etween ‘online marketplace’ and probably a ‘virtual classroom’. Those who wish to participate must register with Google Answers. Here, the researchers who have considerable expertise in online researching provide answers to the queries posted by other users for a fee.

When a user posts a question, he or she also needs to mention the price the user is willing to pay in case the question is answered. When the question is answered by any user, then the payment is made accordingly to the user answering the question. Moreover, the questions and the discussion that ensues will be publicly viewable and other registered users can also share their opinions and insights.

There is a non-refundable listing fee of $0.50 per question plus an additional ‘price’ you set for your question that reflects how much you’re willing to pay for an answer. Three-quarters of your question price goes directly to the Researcher who answers your question; the remaining 25 percent goes to Google to support the service.

Google Groups
Google Groups is an online discussion forum and it contains the entire archive of Usenet discussion groups dating back to 1981. These discussions cover the full range of human dissertation and present a fascinating look at evolving viewpoints, debate and advice on every subject from politics to technology. Users can access all of this information all in a database that contains more than 800 million posts by using the search feature of Google.

Google’s Image Search
Google offers a wide collection of images from around the web; its comprehensive database consists of more than 425 million images. All a user has to do is to enter a query in the image search box, then click on the “Search” button. On the results page, by clicking the thumbnail a larger version of the image can be seen, as well as the web page on which the image is located. By default, Google’s Image Search uses its mature content filter on the initial search by any user. The filter removes many adult images but it cannot guarantee that all such content will be filtered out. It is not possible to ensure with 100% accuracy that all mature content will be removed from image search results using filters.

Google’s Catalog Search
Google offers a unique service in the form of its Catalog Search. Google’s Catalog Search has made it easy to find information published in mail-order catalogs that were not previously available online. It includes the full content of hundreds of mail-order catalogs selling everything from industrial adhesives to clothing and home furnishings.

Froogle
The word ‘froogle’ is a combination of the word ‘frugal’ which means ‘penny-wise’ or ‘economical’ and of course ‘Google’. Google’s spidering software crawls the web looking for information about products for sale online. It does so by focusing entirely on product search and applying the power of Google’s search technology to locate stores that sell items you want and consequently pointing you to that specific store.

Just like the Google Web Search, Froogle also ranks store sites based only on their relevance to the search terms entered by the users. Google does not accept payment for placement within their actual search results. Froogle also includes product information submitted electronically by merchants. Its search results are automatically generated by Google’s ranking software.

One of the easiest and most effective ways to improve your search engine rankings is to create unique, keyword rich title

tags for each of your pages. Be sure your keyword is as close to the beginning of the tag as possible. Here’s a little

trick that I like to use

Internet has a generic market and a niche market. Both these market can be tapped with proper keyword research. Keyword

Research Tools suggest us the means to absorb reader attention. When readers visit a site, they do so by typing a keyword

in the search engine search box. If your article has those keywords and if you are up in Google Page Rank then there is a

fair chance that Google would show visitors the way to your website. This is a winning formula for the website owners.

Creation of excitement: on the site to be promoted, the contents should be presented in a manner that will excite its

audience and they feel an urge to pass this zeal to their close ones.

Quizzes and surprises: one way to divert peoples’ attention to the site is the use of quiz and gifts. All like to be

gifted, there should be quiz and gift coupon for special and potential customers. The site should also incorporate seasonal

discounts and gift items to remain popular.

ACCESSIBILITY Search engines can only index pages that they can find. Check how many pages are indexed by Google by using

the site:www.yourdomain.com command in a Google search window. If few or no pages are indexed then check that the

navigation system on your site is accessible by using a ’search engine spider simulator’ which will crawl your site in the

same way as Google, Yahoo! And MSN – all of which follow links in the navigation system in order to index content. Search

engines follow links, so if your website is new and has no links from other websites on the World Wide Web it may never get

indexed even if submitted to Google – so always add a few directory links to help search engines index your content. If

your website content is not fully accessible (IE the simulator cannot find all of your pages) then we suggest implementing

a text link sitemap which is linked to from your homepage listing all of your pages. The usual cause of accessibility

issues are Flash or JavaScript based navigation systems.

PAGE TITLES Well written, descriptive Meta titles are very important for usability and SEO. Try to keep titles short (80

characters or less is best) and include one or two unique keywords. No two pages should have the same title and it makes

sense to emphasize the keywords you have picked for each page in the title tag. The title tag of any page can be found

towards the top of the HTML code inside the area of code. It is placed between the HTML tags.

In fact, your immediate and 3 major online goals to success should be something like;

Visibility – ensuring that the search engines can find you
Traffic – get more qualified, convertible visitors to your website
Presence – continually improve on your website exposure

A lot of people are into the micro-blogging sensation that Twitter has developed and begun that even internet marketers and other online businessmen and women are starting to use this service as a marketing tool to increase web traffic and overall sales of their products and services. But how does one really make money with twitter, a website that allows you to post anything and everything about you or what goes on around you in just 140 characters and 1-3 sentences?

It’s pretty simple, really. Twitter is, first and foremost, a social networking website that allows you to make friends and build relationships through following one another’s “tweets” or updates. These updates will be displayed, giving you an idea of what your friends and the entire world is up to. Internet marketers use the relationship factor as an advantage to their online businesses. By setting up an account in Twitter, making friends and building relationships, they are slowly but surely making sure that their Twitter pals can trust them and rely on them well enough to become potential customers. This is how they make money with twitter and it has been going on ever since the Twitter hype started.
If you’re an online marketer and want to know how to make money with twitter, here are some useful tips to try:

• Make sure that once you finish making a Twitter account, you begin by posting random updates about yourself or any interest you may have at all. This allows you to give people an idea of who you are as a person and not as an internet marketer alone.

• You can begin following people in Twitter once you’re used to the site and its features. You can follow your friends’ and family’s Twitter updates, and then begin searching for members who may have the same interests as you do. You can also use the search for people who may be looking for products and services that you are presently selling.

• Most likely the people you are following will start following your Twitter updates as well. Once the number of followers begin to grow, it is important that you keep updating everyday to keep them interested and “constantly following”.

• The content of your updates is what keeps your followers interested in you, so try to add spice to your tweets by posting interesting articles, videos, and even pictures from Flickr ( Flickr.com) that you think are eye-catching to them.

• Lastly, once you have established stable and friendly relationships with your followers, that’s the time you begin to seep in content related to your website. You can begin by sharing your online business to your followers (especially the close ones) by posting a link to your updates. Then start by talking about the products and services you are promoting as well as other interesting details about it.

With these you should be able to do what I call “Twitter Marketing“. This is your first step in overcoming the question “How to I Twitter effectively?”
