Google Is A Powerful Internet Marketing Tool

I use Google endlessly, all day, every day. I use Google to make money with my Internet home business in so many ways, and this article is not about Adsense or Adwords. Both of which are very lucrative and have many e-books,blogs,articles, e-courses and successful Internet businesses built around them. But no, this is about Google's customizable Home Page, it's Tool Bar and yes, it's Search Engine.

I am an Internet businessman, so a large part of my life is focused on my computer. I love my computer. It stores my music, pictures, addresses, e-books, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, home budget, articles, bookmarks, ezines and feeds while I run my business, websites, blogs, myspace and a dozen other social networking sites, five e-mail accounts, articles, opt-in list, ezine, and newsletter. And I am finding help in organizing my computer into a more efficient money making tool with Google.

I start my work day by turning on my computer, and my Home page opens. This is the front line of my Internet marketing world. The Google customized home page displays my bookmarks and in the order I need to open them. All my RSS feeds are there, my blog feeds and the feeds that I read and respect to have lucrative information. And in and around the news, weather and special interest feeds, I have my PGATOUR and WineAdviser. My world and interests, in my eclectic and happy life presented for my manipulation. But as I begin to work, to make money online it's the Google Tool bar that efficiently lends a hand.

In the beginning of my Internet marketing career, and most likely yours and every other persons, it was a big undertaking to wade into the world of Internet home businesses. Some of you have a brick-n-mortar business that you want to market online, I was looking to be an affiliate marketer, and make commission on other peoples products, but both models and others take signing up to several different services. There are information sites, newsletters, traffic exchanges, chat rooms and forums, social networking, autoresponders, blogs and so much more. Well all that to say the Google tool bar has Autofill, it fills in forms and will save you a lot of time and effort. Than there is Spellcheck, it keeps you looking professional as you express your self in the written word in e-mail, blog posts and comments, chat room and forum entries and articles etc. Also on this bar is an amazing marketing tool, the Pagerank.

The importance of a good Google Pagerank can not be underrated. Keeping an eye on your sites as well as your colleges and competitors the way Google sees us, allows us to plan and tweak our search engine optimization strategies. Getting ranked #1 in your keyword on Google is tricky but so much fun to do. This feature of the tool bar also will find your ( and your competitors) back links, witch is important for pagerank.

Last but not least Google is a search engine, right? I can find out just about anything I need to know. I can find free or affordable advertising, courses on HTML or XML or even to find what a RSS feed was to begin with. I found free content for my websites and blogs and all the directories of ezines and article sites I would ever need. I can also search my Desktop, anything I have saved on my computer can be searched by keyword. Thank you Google.
