When I think of all the things we rely on Google for, or all the things we can gain from it, I can’t help but wonder what would we do without Google?
To start with, we use Google to search for just about anything, to the point that if we don’t know the answer to something the answer to that will be “Google it”. While there are other competing search engines, it is very unlikely that you would hear someone say “Just Yahoo it” for example.Within the search setting we search not even just for terms, concepts and explanations, but we also search for images, addresses, trends, you name it, because there’s Google Images, Google Maps, even Google Earth.
Google is beyond just a search engine. Recently I’ve come to learn about so many other tools within Google. For example, there is Google Adsense, which is a cost per click (CPP) feature that allows you to get paid by Google when viewers click Google ads that are posted on your website.
There is Google Analytics, which allows you to see the statistics of how many viewers are visiting your website.
There is Google Webmaster Tools, which help you to see how Google views your blog and identify any problems that you may need to address.
There is Google Adwords, which is a tool that allows you to search keywords that are popular within search engines, to help you with determining how best to optimize your website with keywords that will rank higher in search engines.
There is Google+ which includes being part of a circle of friends and/or acquaintances to share your articles with.
There is Google mail, otherwise known as Gmail, which is a highly recommended email option to use when seeking to have a professional email presence.
There is Google Docs, which you can use to save documents and share within a team setting.
There is the Google owned blogsite known as blogger, where you can build customized websites mainly for blogging.
Recently I even learnt of Google Rater, which is an online job wherein you can get paid to evaluate Google websites.
There is Google videos, otherwise known as Youtube, which so many people rely on for listening to music on the Internet, downloading videos, and even for setting up videos to promote themselves and their products or programmes.
Seriously, with all the various possibilities out there with Google, what would we do with no Google? I guess we would rely on other search engines, other SEO tools, other statistic tools, other online money making tools and other social media tools, but somehow it just wouldn’t be the same. There is absolutely something very special about Google, and I feel that we are be better off with it than without it.
