From finding a long lost sibling, to finding your knight in shining armor. You just type what you want and like a genie, Google will be sure to provide you the best and most relative results. Google can be used for anything, good or evil, making money with it, or lose a big chunk of change fast. It is truly amazing all of the information we are able to obtain with a few swipes on our keyboard. Just sit back and sip your coffee while you read a good book, watch a new movie, listen to the newest music videos, talk to your loved ones, or make some money. All using this powerful search engine.So why is Google so great for business? It’s not just great for business it is essential for any business you intend to do on line anywhere in this Internet realm of wonders. So let’s talk Google.First you have Google AdWords.A very scary thing to jump into at first for most of the internet marketers out there. It is a real investment, not free. But the results if done right can be truly amazing. If you ask any top earner in any network marketing or MLM business you will find they all use Google AdWords to get leads and sales. How you advertise on GoogleAdWords is the most important. If not worded right or if against Google policy you could lose some money and get the all to well known “Google Slap”. How do you avoid this you may ask? Well, simply research, read all you can about advertising with Google. Look up trendy keywords that you can find using ‘Google Trends’ or search a website for keywords most used using ‘Google Search-based Keyword Tool’. You do these things, research and test your ads and you will do just fine.Secondly let’s talk about Google AdSense.Google AdSense is free to use and you can make money with it. You have to be careful with AdSense because they will get you quick if you put more ads on your site than is allowed or if you have invalid clicks or page impressions. AdSense is great for a niche site. If you had a site, let’s say it was Allaboutchocolateflowers.com, you have all this useful information, recipes and recommended products, etc. Well when your Google Ads come in to play, they will be relevant to the page and will get lot’s of clicks for the ones looking for what you are talking about. Be sure before you do anything with any of Google’s programs you read all the fine print, do this so that you will not get the Google hand print on your face.Thirdly lets move onto getting indexed with Google.To do this you need to have a lot of relevant information and be very keyword specific. You also need to submit your site to Google to be crawled. Make sure your site is very keyword friendly. If it is not, you will not be getting indexed anytime soon and if you do get indexed, it will be on a page way in the back. Getting positioned on Google’s first page is difficult because everyone is butting heads and cracking necks just to get to that number one spot. Once you reach The throne of Google, hold your ground there. Google is a very powerful thing, if used wisely it can change your life and bring a lot of happiness in your wallet, if used wrongly it can have you crying in your sleep.Always be sure to research anything you are going to do with Google, test your ads, improve your sites,read all of the policies and once there, hold your ground and keep your crown.
