How To Use Google
62Using Google
Google for those who've lived in a cave for the past vague existence of their life is the top search engine which takes a good percentage of search engine traffic, mainly because they have dominated the Internet with some really good partnerships and tools that they offer Internet users for free.
Using Google is just like any other search engine, you just type what you want to search for in the browser bar and quite often typing in a long sentence or a specific search result to find what you need to find is the way to do it, the browser bar has been updated with a search based feature which when you start to type in your search terms, ten top ten results appear in a selector box under your browser search bar for the search term you are entering in to it, which is very useful if you need to find topics that are popular to write about related to your own interests.
When you sign up for a free google account, you get lots of tools and features that compliment each other and will actually help you to increase your websites exposure in the online world, one of the best free tools is your webmaster tools which you need to copy and paste a bit of code into your site to measure and gain some important data about your site, but you knew that right and Google Analytics which provides the best stats all for free with very detailed stats that track the important stuff, but how do you really use Google?
Well first you've got to have a working knowledge of writing some good content on a website that you own or don't, it's up to you how much effort you want to put in, so getting your content up to scratch is your first priority and then it's about getting your work out there and usually it's about getting traffic to your website for your site to be ranked in the search results, if of course you have optimized your websites pages properly with accurate keywords that reflect the true content on your site.
Back linking is just a simple term that means links from other sites that point to your main site and if you increase the relevancy with the keyword anchor text links in as many well ranked or well liked and respected sites for the purposes of back linking, then your site will have a reasonable chance of moderate success with traffic, but you have to be consistent with your approach and to never slack off with any type of marketing, especially when it comes to Google.
The thing with Google is that it doesn't release the all important information of specific algorythms, as that would make it easy for the spammers to game the system, instead it's just about learning enough about how google works and how they index your webpages to make any success by using Google.
Here's a great tip from a hubber who shows you how to filter your own internal traffic from your sites with Google Analytics, haven't tried it yet, but others seem to think it's a good thing to try. Google anayltics Filtering as this separates your own visits from the stats, making them more true of the actual visits apparently.
Also if you haven't read it yet, see how Mark Knowles himself ( yes, he is a god!) got his hubpage on the first page of Google
Using Google just takes a little bit of self study and seeing what everything else does and how it relates to each other, especially looking at the adwords keyword tool in relation to the actual search results, this provides enough information to start writing new content, use Google trends if you have to, but I don't as I find it just tedious to try and write about current hot topics that may disappear in a week.
Google isn't rocket science, but it can be a time consuming experience too, so make yourself some flasks of coffee and some packed lunch and wear an anorak if you have to and start studying Google in every way you can.

Yes you can earn money with hubpages!
ooow,thank u very much waynet..u're very nice...hmmm is it true if hub can earn money?
There are ways to get a clone search engine script, but you have to have web hosting and a bit of technical knowhow to install it, something at present even beyond my ability to understand lol!
But in your google account you can create a custom search engine that you can set up to earn through adsense and you can compile any search results you want within your own mini search engine.
Cheers putry, I usually check my comments, but been a bit busy, cheers for the follow!
yeah waynet..google is such our best friend,it can let us know all about that we want to know..;)by the way,do u know how to make a search engine just like google? i really wanna make it one!!!!
cheers putry
google is good.
i love google sooooo much..it's very helpfull..;)
It is if you want to rank more than one search term which is of course what you want to aim for.
Cheers now
To get to the first page on Google's SERP is not that hard, the hard part is to figure it out those hot keywords that the SE's users type into the search box...
Yeah I hope bing gets better at retaining those indexed results, because I've been having some good results with bing the last few months.
Google is definitely a beast of a search engine. And while I do love Google for all that it offers (quality search and plenty of useful services), I'm really hoping Bing gives Google a run for it's money over the next year. Competition is always a good thing. :)
Hi there FeliceA
No you just put your google analytics code on your hubpage profile where it says and after 24 hours it should start to track your hubpages that you create, just ask if you need anymore help!
Cheers!
ok, newbie here. Just signed up for google analytics and was already signed up for adsense. do i need to attach code to someplace other than my hubpages profile? like each hub i write? thanks for your help!
If you search for information there is a lot of other search engines where you can get alternative answers. There's Yahoo, Bing, Cuil, DuckDuckGo and many more.
Love Google! Good article
Thanks for this informative hub. I most definitely will start using its tools more wisely.
Cheers all!
Googles importance is all the rage these days and so if we start to do the things that are out there for us to try and rank for the required keywords.
GOOGLE! Yes, it is great for hubbers in particular. Nice and informative article. God bless you!

i also find google is very helpful
Love Google. Google Rules. Thanks for sharing.
so now everyone knows how to use google!
google. love it!
Thanks Jyoti!
I didn't want to go down the route of in depth Google as other hubbers are doing this and I just wanted to do a hub that has a few insights just for reference for the newbies like you said....cheers!
Hi,
This article will help the newbies. However, the hub has not much for the webmasters.
Thanks for sharing.

Yes I heard about the Google china thing and what a fiasco it was!
Did you hear about the china google conflict?
Cheers now Red Dragon!
They'll have google electric and gas too and google food and we'll have to buy air from Google to breath next! lol!
Google has gotten so big its insane. From just a regular search engine to there own navigation/maps, Android OS, and soon they are saying that Google will be coming out with there own operating system for PC. Just insane, great article!
Oh, This is pretty great
Cheers there Lita!
The thing I like about writing these short articles is that I can expand on them with more hubpages about different aspects of google so that I can try and cover loads of other topics.
Waynet,
I'm a Google user, still learning. And your hub provides me the best information I need. I learn from the comments as well. Thank you.
Thanks Goziem!
Google rules!
WAYNET. i like all you have just said about Google which is true i believe that you are talented over all this how i wish you will be my mentor. i believe you will be thanks.
Cheers now!
I like google for it's diverse portfolio of helpful tools!
Thanks for the information.
I'm a Google fan and this hub is best explanation of Google. Nice one man!
thanks for the info
Can't live without google...
Cheers Jan!
I for one just dismissed the webmaster tools as for professionals, but then I thought about it, I could be a professional if I took the time to read stuff through and act upon it and that's what I'm doing now!
Wow, you've got a considerable amount of Hubs on here. Just finished reading your write-up on creating a new e-mail address and thought I would check this one out too. On the flip side, it's always surprising how many people miss the "more advanced" features of Google and Google Search (I know this post is geared more towards site owners and indexing).
Anyways, another good one. Thanks!
hmm very thanks for this man
Yes and thanks again for your comment Amez!
I've just starded using Google, they have really brought some nice hits to my Hubs also with Blogger. I like reddit also, but I have to agree, thier traffic, is proof that they have allot of fine writers and readers just as we do.
it seems ovious that were all one big family. Thanks again for all your hard work. Ed
Cheers enrick!
Yes you can separate your visits through GA and that's what that link to the Google Analytics Filter hubpage helps with.
Wow I did not know Google Analytics did not separate your own visits from the stats. My WordPress traffic plug-in does. However, it is not as advanced as Google Analytics.
Cheers Anita.
Marky Mark Knowles has some good hubpages!
Waynet - Straighforward and sound observations/advice. I'm going to check out Mark Knowles hub success story.
Thanks Obscure Diver!
I like the way you think and I did write this in a speedy fashion, jobs a good un!
Is it just me, or did you write this hub in a speedy fashion? I'm glad I don't have a fetish for rectifying algorithmic tribulations, but you sure have a potent zeal towards the public.
Hey..., when you have SEO savvy, as displayed, you must be shrewd and wily to the public; good job and keep up the excellent work, waynet!
Cheers Mr Gadget!
Who's search engine Al!
Google is the best one around but some times i feel like serch engine AI is not thinking wisely ... and that "some time" is normaly when i am doing my work as freelance writer...
@uliveulearn You can just add a copyright to the site that the image is held on and just hope for the best, alternatively, you could browse Flikr for some photos and on there it is usually quite obvious what photos are allowed to republish elsewhere with a quick mention of the persons photostream.
@Hubpagesreport! Yeah I like GA and adsense too, but I also like blogger and youtube and the other webmaster tools too.
@technocrates
Google is king! whoooooooooohoooooo!
Google provides you anything you want on the web, A very good and informative article about Google...
I agreed to HubPagesReport that the Google tools for Web analytics and Adsense is the best Google Tools...
Google, always the first choice for searching. For me, Google Analytic and Google AdSense is the best Google tools.
Good info. I have a hard time determining what google images are royalty free and can be used.
Yes google images is very important, I always try to add a pic here now!
Cheers Tatsguy!
Google images brought me in 35 views yesterday, naming yer photos wisely is deff worth the time taken to do it !
Yeah analytics is great too, I like looking at the adsense earnings and the metrics of them stats too to find out which hubpages or blog posts get the most clicks and combine that with what keywords people search to find your online content then the jobs a good un with GA.
Cheers Ruby for a great comment!
Hey Waynet. As always great hub. I do use the Google analytics and love it. I also use the filter on my music site as I walk it constantly so it really helps when you want true traffic results. Try it. It only take a few clicks and you are done! Another thing with the analytics is it will help you with your keywords and placing in the search engines. It really isn't that time consuming, least I don't think so. Also the details it gives you on your traffic can't be beat. Yahoo has nothng on them! It will even tell you the city from where your visitor comes from and so much more!
@ethel smith,
You Google everything ? everything is available on it :P
Cheers there Ethel and Nancy!
