    – Yep, Google owns YouTube now.. you’ll
    notice that YouTube videos come up first in Google Search results so
    use it to your advantage :)

16. Google Alerts 

    – I use Google Alerts to find out how
    my websites are doing.. for instance, I added “Leverage the secret” to
    my alerts, and then as I post to the various sites, I can get notified
    when “google” finds them and therefore indexes them.

17. Google Analytics 

    – I use Google Analytics the same
    way except I get to know where all my visitors are coming from, how
    long they spend at my site, which pages they click on, etc. From this,
    I’ll be able to know where I should concentrate my efforts.. ie which
    of my advertising is working.

18. Google Trends 

    – Google Trends is a tool from Google
    Labs that shows the most popularly searched terms. Use this to find
    popular search terms related to SGR.

    comments, use icons, link Webfeeds.

    good! It’s like Wikipedia but it looks sweeter :) And you can control
    who has access to change your pages.
