Get More Sales With Google Store Connector

I never would have come across this useful tidbit, but I started selling stuff on Ebay and I stumbled into Google Store Connector while looking for ways to get more traffic to my Ebay store. Basically what Google Store Connector does is link up with your Ebay store and download all your products into Google Base. Now maybe you have never heard of Google Base, but it actually a great way to get your products noticed and of course like most things Google (including Google Store Connector) it is 100% free!

Think of it this way, if someone is searching for a product they are not necessarily going to go to Ebay, they will go right to Google. So lets say you are trying to sell Hummel Figurines, if someone types in "Hummel Figurines" and then hits "Shopping" on the top of Google's search page they are indexing things that are in Google Base. You need to be here!!

So basically what you do is download the program Google Store Connector, which is free and then enter in your login info for ebay so it knows where to pull your items from. After that you are just 2 clicks aways from having your entire store posted on Google Base and in turn Google Product Search/Shopping! Just hit Copy Items From My Store and then Publish To Google Base and you are done!

One important factor to note though is that you need to have a "Buy It Now" price and a set (not calculated) shipping price or Google Store Connector will not publish your item. Just make sure to post your items to Google Store Connector soon after you put them on Ebay and you will avoid any problems. Run Google Store Connector again after your items have sold and it will automatically delete the items that are out of your store and add in the new ones!

Now Google Store Connector doesn't just work with Ebay, it also works with Yahoo and osCommerce as well. This is truly one of the best ways to get more traffic and in turn more bids to your Ebay store so go ahead and try it out, just don't forget who told you about it when your sales start piling up : )

Google Mobile Apps - Voice Search

Just a few days ago Google released its much awaited voice search. Now the only way you can get it right now is if you have an Iphone, but don't worry I am sure they are working hard on getting a computer version out soon. I can see why they started with the phone though. It is so hard to try and type anything into a phone with those tiny keys! Check out this video from Google below for a bit more information on how exactly this Google Mobile App Voice Search works. O did I forget to mention that like most things Google, it is free!

Google Releases Chrome

Google Chrome is an Internet browser that has just been released in 100 different countries just the other day. There are a few different tweaks in Google Chrome that are lacking in Firefox and Internet Explorer. First of all, and I think I like this one the best, when you open up Google Chrome is automatically gives you a screenshot of the 9 most visited webpages that you frequent. On the side there is also a easy way to find recent searches, bookmarks and even recently closed tabs. Of course like a lot of other things Google, Chrome is open source, which makes it much easier for people to develop applications on it. Don't forget the speed either! Google Chrome has built a JavaScript Virtual Machine called V8, this makes it the fastest browser on the market. Google Chrome has also incoropate the popular tabs feature only the tabs are at the top instead of below the address bar like in Firefox. Google Chrome's address bar is actually called an omnibox and is complete with auto complete and search suggestions to help you find exactly what you are looking for. If you need privacy Google Chrome has you covered there too with Incognito mode. This mode makes it so nothing that occurs in that window is ever logged on your computer. No more cookies to delete in this mode. So well, what is the price, well like most things Google it is 100% free. So what are you waiting for try it out. You can download it here or learn even more first by watching the video below...

Google Calculator

Another one of the little known uses of Google is the Calculator. The Google Calculator is a very useful tool that is actually built right into Google Search. All you need to do is type something like "1m in cm" or how about "1mile in feet" or "5739f in c" (for temperature). This will work with many mathematical measurements and is very handy when doing time consuming unit conversions.

You can also type in math equations into Google, for example "55*90+(sqrt 10)^3=" surprisingly this works quite well even on more difficult equations. So don't go out and waste your money on a fancy Calculator just type it into Google...

Share Your Expertise With Google Knol

You the expert can write your own Knol on the area of your choice. You then have the option to allow other people to edit your Knol or just suggest edits that you would need to approve. You can even make it so no one can ever edit your Knol. Google is basically building an encyclopedia for all of the worlds information from the ground up and is making it possible for its users to profit from it as well. That's right Google has made it so you can display Google Adsense on your Knol! So you to can make you money for your knowledge. The possibilities are endless...

Google Gives Us Virtual Reality For Free!

Unlike the popular Second Life which cost $9.95 a month, like most things Google Lively will be completely free and only requires a plugin to get started. Lively's users will be able to sculpt an avatar that can be male, female or even a different species. An avatar can assume a new identity, change clothes or convey emotions with a few clicks of the mouse. You will also be able to create virtual rooms that you design yourself and visit your friends rooms, coffeehouses and even exotic islands! Google even gives you the ability to setup TV where you can watch Youtube videos in your room. A Google spokeswoman said that there isn't any currency in Lively, but that users will be able to add objects from Lively's catalog to their rooms free of charge. And users can't yet create their own items but should be able to down the road. This application already works on Facebook and Google is working to get it operational on MySpace. I can only imagine where it will go from here! Check out the video below for some screen shots...
