Comment0
Google’s control over the World Wide Web cannot be described in words. Though webmasters are familiar with all the services of Google, this post will offer information regarding the ones that are most important for making your blog successful. 
Let’s start with those Google services that are now an integrated part of nearly every website.
Gmail
Take a look at Gmail’s features. This is an email service that lets you handle all of your communication in a single account. Wouldn’t you agree that these following are some wonderful features of Gmail:
- Different mail accounts can be incorporated into your Gmail account. You get to send an email from a single account whereas it would appear as if you have sent it from your other accounts.
- You can receive the emails of your other accounts in your primary Gmail account.
- You can use Gmail as the email service provider for the email of your own website, such as abc@xyz.com
- You can tag different sets of your mails according to various categories and thus save a lot of manual effort that you would have had to put in otherwise, locating mails.
- As a webmaster, you can have multiple email accounts but use all of them from your Gmail account.
Most people create their own blogs for some or the other financial benefit. If you have a WordPress blog, a number of websites can help you make money from blog customization. One such service is Google AdSense. If you need help with your WordPress website design, you can download a Quick AdSense WordPress plugin from the net.
Google Adwords
Market the WordPress blog you have with the help of Google Adwords. You can now make your blog appear in the ads on other websites which use Google Adsense. For this, you need to spend some money and effort to get the hang of Adwords. Do not forget to use the keyword tool of Google to find out some good keywords for your blogs.
When you are done creating your blog and it is out there on its own, opt for Google Analytics. This is a tool will help you to not only keep track of your website traffic, but will also analyze the inbound flow of traffic. Use ‘Google Analytics for WordPress’ plug-in and ‘Google Analyticator’ plug-in.
YouTube
If yours is a WordPress blog, it would be a breeze for you to embed some YouTube videos in various blog posts. If you want to use some extended features of YouTube, try these plug-ins: Tubepress and Viper’s Video Quicktags. If you want your social network to broaden a bit, use YouTube channels.
Google Maps
Utilize the power of Google Maps. You won’t be able to imagine how powerful this tool is. Use the MapPress plug-in. With it, you can include Google Maps in your blog, search for addresses and offer interactive maps to your readers.
Feedburner
As your blog grows, you need this tool to keep track of your subscribers in a variety of ways. Try FD Feedburner Plug-in for WordPress. It comes in various languages so you can use it even if you are not very comfortable with English.
Other Google tools that you can use are – Google Reader, Google Docs, Google Chart Tools, Google Font Directory and Goo.gl URL Shortener
These Google tools will definitely help your WordPress blog become popular.
All the best and do share your opinion.
